Having a crew of Pawns accompany you makes exploring the world of Gransys much livelier, and picking specific Pawns that synergize well in battle adds another layer of depth and strategy to the combat. You are also given a primary Pawn and can customize their look, skills, and even how they act in battle.
The Pawns act as one of the core gameplay elements in Dragon’s Dogma, allowing you to recruit various Pawns with unique characteristics and battle skills. These Pawns come from their own dimension and exist almost solely to aid the Arisen and help kill the dragon. Pawn StarsĪs the Arisen, you gain the ability to command human-like servants called Pawns. It’s not nearly as gripping a narrative as other top-tier RPGs such as the Witcher 3, but it does enough to keep you contently chugging along on your journey. The story and characters are a bit bland, but not egregiously so. You somehow survive this and become what is known as “the Arisen” because…dragon magic, and you set off on a quest to kill the dragon and reclaim your heart. Unsurprisingly, this doesn’t work out so well, and the dragon rips out your heart and eats it. Being the dumb, courageous individual you are, you attempt to kill the dragon alone using a rusty sword. There, you begin as a villager in a small seaside town when a ferocious dragon attacks. Though it doesn’t feel particularly suited to a handheld display, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is the same cult classic it has always been, and the gameplay still holds up seven years after its initial release.įor those who aren’t familiar with Dragon’s Dogma, it’s set in Gransys, a fantastical land where humans and creatures coexist, but don’t usually get along. This release comes with all the content from the Dark Arisen version that came out on PC in 2016, and it makes its way to the Switch nicely. I’m glad I was able to finally experience Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen on one of my favorite platforms: the Nintendo Switch. But you know what they say: third time’s the charm. I love a good fantasy RPG, but I somehow missed Dragon’s Dogma the first time around…and the second time, too.
