Crimson Dragon Xbox One
Blood, fire, chaos and microtransactions.
Crimson Dragon has all the intense, alien nonsense of a Space Harrier level, coupled with a story that seeks, somewhat unnecessarily, to make sense of a man riding a dragon, killing things. The story is hard to read as one of heroism: humans have colonised (invaded) a planet, and when a disease lets some of them communicate with dragons, they use that power to bond with (enslave) them, and get them to cure (murder) other diseased creatures. I’m as much up for a power fantasy as the next enfeebled man, but this doesn’t feel particularly kind.
