A hidden gem for dragon fans: 'Drakan: The Ancients’ Gates' on PS2. You play as Rynn, who bonds with Arokh, a dragon with serious attitude. The combat’s dated, but flying feels surprisingly fluid. For modern stuff, 'Monster Hunter Stories 2' lets you hatch and ride ‘monsties’, including majestic dragon-types. It’s Pokémon with more fire breath. ‘Scalebound’ getting canceled still hurts—that was supposed to be THE dragon game. Maybe ‘Avowed’ will surprise us?
I’m obsessed with games that make you feel like a dragon rider. 'Divinity: Dragon Commander' is a weird hybrid—part RTS, part visual novel, where you play as a half-dragon emperor leading armies. The aerial combat’s clunky, but the political marriage subplots? Unironically riveting.
Then there’s 'ARK: Survival Evolved'. Taming a Wyvern involves stealing its egg and surviving its mom’s wrath—terrifying and awesome. 'Dragon Age: Inquisition' has high dragons, but you can’t ride them (bioware pls). Mods fix that though; Nexus has a 'rideable dragons' mod that’s hilariously broken. Bonus mention: 'Shadow of the Colossus’ Agro isn’t a dragon, but that bond? Chef’s kiss. We need more games where dragons feel like companions, not just mounts.
Dragon riding? Heck yeah! 'World of Warcraft' has drakes and proto-drakes you can collect as mounts, though they’re more taxi than combat partners. 'Guild Wars 2' does it better—its 'Path of Fire' expansion lets you tame raptors, then later, the Skyscale dragon mount. You gotta nurture it from an egg, which feels oddly rewarding.
Indie gem 'Century: Age of Ashes' is pure dragon dogfights—no frills, just aerial jousting with fireballs. It’s like 'War Thunder' meets 'Game of Thrones'. For a quirky twist, 'Panzer Dragoon' is an on-rails shooter where you blast enemies from dragonback. Shame we don’t have a proper 'Eragon' game; someone give us an open-world Alagaësia already!
Oh, dragon-riding games? I've lost count of how many hours I've spent soaring through virtual skies! One that immediately comes to mind is 'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim'. After joining the Dragonborn DLC, you can literally shout dragons into submission and ride them—it’s chaotic and glorious. The controls are janky, but there’s nothing like raining fire from above while your scaly buddy dive-bombs bandits.
Then there’s 'Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen', where you climb onto giant beasts mid-battle. It’s less ‘riding’ and more ‘desperately hanging on’, but the adrenaline rush is unreal. For something more story-driven, 'How to Train Your Dragon' games capture the dreamy bond between rider and dragon, though they skew younger. I’d kill for a game that combines 'Monster Hunter’s' mechanics with 'Avatar’s' aerial freedom—just saying.

The dragons and royals are at war. Dragons have power and the royals want it to cement their rule in their kingdoms. Rather than creating a bond between the two, the royals have been stealing dragon eggs, hoping they will bond with the dragon once it hatches, allowing the royal to become a dragon rider. However, there is a thief among them, someone who is stealing the dragon eggs and returning them to the dragons. Someone who, when found, will be put to death.
Princess Skylar is the daughter of King Augustus. Her father has been hunting dragon eggs for years. Unbeknownst to him, Skylar is the thief that he is searching for. She does not agree with stealing dragon eggs from the mothers who make their nests away from the other dragons, making themselves vulnerable to attack. Her betrothed, Prince Kenneth, also supports stealing dragon eggs in the hope of bonding with a dragon and making his kingdom stronger.
Ryuki is a dragon rider. He bonded with his dragon, Bynjym, a year ago when he stumbled across him in the wild. The bond between dragon and rider is sacred. Ryuki and other dragon riders believe that it should never be forced. The riders fight against the royals who steal dragon eggs, working to keep them from being able to access the eggs, or fighting to get the eggs back to their dragon mothers.
What will happen when Ryuki realizes that Skylar is a royal like no other? Can Skylar keep her secret from her father, continuing to work inside the palace to take the stolen eggs back to their mothers? What will happen when Skylar realizes that her feelings for Ryuki are much stronger than her feelings for Prince Kenneth? Find out in The Dragon Thief.
It’s been two years since Kenzo was forcibly claimed by an elvish prince. Since then, a clear divide has been created among the elf factions - those who believe that only mates should be allowed to claim a dragon and those who believe that anyone should be allowed to claim them.
Dragons are no longer safe, being hunted and ambushed by elvish troupes who want them. These elves do not care about mate bonds, nor do they care that the hybrid dragons are still children in their human form. They only care about the power that being a dragon rider brings them. These troupes are no longer permitted to attend the academy.
Kenna is a hybrid, part fire dragon, part Lycan. She got her mother’s fire dragon gene as her primary gene, so she has a dragon form.

Will Yhendorn finally be able to claim his fire dragon? Will Kenna submit and join Yhendorn on his quest to change the elvish laws? Can the two of them fight together to bring the change that is so desperately needed between the dragons and the elves? Find out in this seventh installment of the Elemental Dragon series.

Azura wasn't just any human, she was the keeper of the Dragon Stone. Her entire life, she always thought she was different, but it wasn't until the day she met Cyran, who happened to be a Dragon King, that she realized how different she really was.
On the day she met Cyran, she was kidnapped and nearly killed, until the man she just met turned out to be her savior. Not only that, but she learns that the fantasy novels that she writes are real. For a moment, she believes she can return to her life, but then right after being kidnapped, she is held as a prisoner at Cyran's house.
There she learns the truth about her origins and that she is fated to be Cyran's mate. More than that, she learns that she has been reborn, after dying a tragic death forty years ago. It is bad enough that her so-called mate wants to keep her but also looks like half the time he wants to kill her.
In her memories lies the key to keeping history from repeating itself.
Will she be able to remember her past before it is too late?
Will Cyran be able to look past the mate he lost and fall in love with the new version of his mate?
Or will tragedy repeat itself?
She was the lowest among them, an omega meant to serve, to obey, to be forgotten.
Until the Alpha touched her.
Until he marked her with words that felt like a promise... and shoved her off a cliff like she was nothing.
Ayla thought betrayal had a name, a face, a heartbeat she once trusted.
She thought the crashing water would be her grave.
But death didn’t claim her.
The dragon did.
She awakens not in darkness, but in silk sheets soaked with sweat, her body wracked with fire, strangers calling her Queen Liliana.
The child they beg her to bring into the world is no wolf pup, it’s something older, deeper… and hers.
Now fire sings in her veins. Scales burn beneath her skin.
She remembers being Ayla. But they swear she is a queen, reborn through flame and fury, the last of the dragon-blooded line.
Torn between two lives, two names, two fates…
Was she reborn by fate’s hand, or was she always meant to rise?
Because if this isn’t death, then it must be the beginning…
of the Dragon Queen.
Dragons have always fascinated me, especially in games where they're more than just fire-breathing monsters. In 'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim,' taming dragons involves unlocking the Dragonborn's unique ability to use shouts. The 'Bend Will' shout is key—it lets you calm a dragon and eventually ride it. It's not instant, though; you need to progress through the main questline to learn all three words of power. After that, finding dragons in the wild becomes an adventure in itself. Some are friendly, others hostile, but the thrill of soaring on a dragon's back makes all the effort worthwhile.
Another game that handles dragon taming differently is 'Dragon Age: Inquisition.' Here, dragons are fierce bosses, but you can't tame them traditionally. Instead, you build alliances with them through quests or by proving your strength. It's more about mutual respect than domination. I love how games approach dragon taming in varied ways—some focus on bonding, others on sheer power. It makes each experience unique and memorable.
Dragon-themed mobile games are everywhere if you know where to look! Free options range from high-energy action titles like 'Dragon City'—where you breed and battle dragons—to RPGs like 'Dragon Raja' with stunning visuals. I stumbled upon 'Dragons: Rise of Berk' while browsing the Play Store last week; it’s a charming mix of strategy and dragon-raising based on the 'How to Train Your Dragon' universe. The ads can be annoying, but the gameplay is surprisingly deep for a free title.
If you’re into casual puzzles, 'Merge Dragons!' is addictive—you merge eggs to hatch creatures and clear foggy land. For something more competitive, 'War Dragons' offers PVP battles with customizable fire-breathing teams. Just beware of paywalls; some games tempt you with microtransactions once you’re hooked. My advice? Try a few and uninstall anything that feels too greedy.
Dragons have always been the crown jewels of fantasy games, and few titles do them justice like 'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim'. The first time Alduin swooped down during Helgen's destruction, I nearly dropped my controller—those booming shouts and sheer scale were unmatched. But what sets Skyrim apart is how dragons evolve from scripted events to dynamic world encounters, forcing you to adapt tactics. Mods like 'Diverse Dragons Collection' triple their menace with unique breath attacks and behaviors.
Then there's 'Monster Hunter World', where Fatalis isn't just strong; it feels like battling a force of nature. Its black flame attacks demand perfect coordination, and the lore paints it as an extinction-level threat. Comparatively, 'Dark Souls'' Kalameet and Midir trade raw power for tragic elegance—their movesets are brutal, but their melancholic designs make victories bittersweet.
Dragon-themed RPGs are my absolute jam, especially ones that blend epic lore with immersive gameplay. 'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim' is a classic—nothing beats shouting dragons out of the sky with the Thu'um. The way they swoop down mid-battle still gives me chills. Then there's 'Divinity: Original Sin 2', where the dragon Siva is this enigmatic, almost philosophical presence. It’s not just about combat; the storytelling around dragons feels mythic.
For something more niche, 'Drakengard 3' is a wild ride. Its dragons are tied to the protagonist’s fractured psyche, and the game’s tone swings between brutal and absurd. The soundtrack by Keiichi Okabe elevates every encounter. And let’s not forget 'Monster Hunter: World', where elder dragons like Nergigante demand strategic teamwork. Each game offers dragons in a unique light—from foes to allies—and that variety keeps me hooked.
