Hello! This is my all time favorite game and I have always been dying to play the Sega Ages PS2 version of this game. I check online every few months to see if there is anything new. As of right now the only sliver of hope is a 3 year old twitter thread cj_iwakura on X: "Utterly delighted to present the world premiere of the DRAGON FORCE -SEGA AGES- fan translation. This is one of my favorite games ever, as I've stated repeatedly, and the best strategy game ever made. https://t.co/3DdU2yK7EG" / X
but other than that, nothing. Just thought I would give reddit a try in case anyone else ever comes across anything
What games would you say, if any, mimic the strategic style of DragonForce? Beat it ages ago, and have been wondering if there's anything similar out there?
Greetings!
For more than a year now, I've been making a list of games which have a kill count in them (available through a link on my profile); and my seemingly lifelong journey of inquiring about this topic all across Reddit has now brought me to this particular game...
So, is there any reason for me to add this game to my list? Does this game have a kill count/record of casualties featured in it, besides other statistics?
Thank you in advance.
But recently have been killing this game, my Junon is so jacked and level 28 at the battle of the dragon in the temple in the north… I assumed you had to go there alone, and wasn’t aware of the ambuhsh right afterwards with Saul and scythe. They kill the dude at the temple if I don’t beat them (I can hold out to a draw). Can I srill finish the game?
Hooked up my Saturn and going to start a playthrough tonight with Highland. I just don't understand how this game hasn't been re-released or remastered on something current.
Would kill to play on my Switch
I'm looking for a list or compilation of all the unique dialog between generals when they are pitted against one another. I've seen a few interesting interactions between certain generals like Rudger and Gulen, Laine and Varshyll, Gigg and Reinhart, and plenty of others.
Are there any specific general interactions that you like or are curious about? I'm interested to hear them!
How is everyone playing this game these days? I decided to give it a go again, it was my favorite Saturn game but my console days are long past me.
Anyone have a nice tablet setup? How about Raspberry Pi 4? I fired it up on my 10" Fire HD tablet but performance is not acceptable. SSF on the PC seems to emulate it best (no annoying button press "DINGS!" sounds), but the features such as graphic filters and fast forward seem to be lacking.
Been urging for some Dragon Force emulation, but I couldn't get the DF rom to work with yabause. Any1 know a link to a current tutorial? Is yabause still a thing? I see it hasn't been updated in several years. Also not sure if my Rom is the problem, as I only tried to run DF and not any other games. Any advice would be helpful. I've bought DF 3 times over the years, and had it taken each time from roomates/ex's (they steal what you love....).
I’ve just started playing this game and getting to grips with the different strategies, formations etc.
One thing that I can’t get my head around is how to use Mages. Just stick them in special - standby and let them shoot?
I used to advance them down the field after the enemy troops were gone, then switch them to standby when they were closer to the enemy general but still out of melee range. I expected them to rain down magic death on the general but instead they just stood around like idiots doing nothing while the clock ticked down.
So I switched to advance, and they started attacking again, but of course this put them in melee range which got them killed.
Any advice?
Heya, returning to this after many, many years (thanks to the Yabause emu) : ]
Originally, I beat the game with Mikhal but am now exploring other rulers. After playing with Teiris, about 15 minutes in I inherited a new nation from Wein. This kind of threw me, as I remember the game requiring players to build up their forces slowly over time and strategically conquer enemies around the map. Initially, I thought Teiris' story would be difficult as she's somewhat isolated but the sudden boon seems quite jarring.
I'm still enjoying it but part of me thinks it would have made for a better game if the goal had been to subjugate every nation.
Maybe I should be playing as Goldark as that seems to be his story?
Hello! I just started playing for the first time. I had my main group of generals assault Weins main castle, but then he declared a truce which I agreed to. Now my main force can’t go anywhere else on the map they just bump into Weins castles and go back and forth. Can I fix this? Thanks!
Kinda crazy that they translated the whole game, and this is right in the JP manual, but I can't seem to find an English version anywhere to save me!
I was recently thinking about what I thought was this game. However I never owned the consoles it was stated on being, I swore I had played an army v army game on sega CD, and after some google-fu I’m pretty sure it was Dragon Force, but it would have been impossible to play on sega CD. Only other system I can think of that I may have played this, or a clone of this, was PS1. I feel like I am going crazy lol.
I can't go more than a year or two without playing this game haha. Who is your preferred starting nation?
Mildly curious.
So, who do you guys like best?
Klub will add requested flairs while we're in the process of setting up and getting more discussion going here!
