Dragon View
Description
Many years ago, four brave warriors have reclaimed the magical Drakkhen tears for humanity, liberating it from the yoke of powerful dragons. Alex, a descendant of one of those heroes, enjoys a peaceful life in the town of Rysis ans is about to marry his sweetheart Katarina. However, a mysterious wizard interferes and kidnaps the young woman. Alex embarks on a quest to locate and defeat him, unraveling an even more nefarious scheme in the process.
Dragon View is an action role-playing game and a follow-up to Drakkhen. Like its predecessor, it features a 3D overworld navigated from a first-person perspective. Towns and dungeons, however, are presented as side-scrolling areas. Alex can jump and fight enemies appearing in the dungeons with a sword or other weapons he can later acquire, such as a boomerang and a bow. Experience points are awarded for vanquishing enemies, and Alex's strength and defense parameters increase when leveling up. HP and magic points increase by finding specific items. It is also possible to find magical rings and weapon upgrades.

Come; See Through The Dragon's Eyes!
The Good
The prequel to the the 1989 DOS game, Drakkhen. A marvellous side-scrolling RPG which is set onto a beautiful 3D world,which was unusual for a SNES RPG, no, any SNES game.Good Music with a beautiful gameplay and a nice story gives the player a legendary experience.It employed the pseudo-3D system that gives the player the felling of 3D world on the SNES. The game was released in 1994. The game follows the journeys of a young warrior to save his abducted love from the evil sorcerer.
The Bad
Frankly, there is nothing annoying, boring or irritating in the game. Everything is in the right spot. Although, sometimes falling from heights can kill you and on top of that you have to start from the last temple you got your deeds recorded.
The Bottom Line
A must play title for a RPG fan with a little spice of action in it.
Very enjoyable title with lots of features like action, story etc. Really a game that should have had sequels. Nonetheless, the game is itself very enjoyable because of the 3D experience on the SNES. Will award it 4 out of 5!
