Dragons Reef

Dragons Reef is a colorful action game in which you sail a ship through a fantasy world of dragons, pirates and sea creatures. Choose one of eight captains, each with two skills that can be developed, and take on missions across 10 long levels. Each level has a different game mode and can be replayed, with events varying between runs.

Captains and equipment

You collect crystals to increase your ship’s level and unlock special abilities. Each captain has a different ship paint, and you can develop ship levels during a run to gain further abilities. You can find 24 magical artifacts, but only four can be active at once, so choose a setup suited to the challenges of each level. Your ship can also use eight types of magic cannonballs, each with its own properties.

Sailing and combat

Position your ship to line up cannon shots against pirates. A golden dragon companion flies alongside you, helps fight pirates and clears some water obstacles. The waters also hold sea creatures that can damage or chase ships, obstacles, defensive towers and other hazards; some dragons may attack if you approach them too closely.

You can encounter allied ships, ships that place crystals and obstacles in the water, platforms with magic cannonballs, and dragon eggs that need protection. Gold chests and special cannonball platforms offer loot, while pirates may try to take it from you. Ships, groups of dragons and underwater animals can change how they move in response to your actions.

Game modes

The levels cover a range of missions, including:

• Delivering goods
• Defending against pirates while protecting dragon eggs
• Capturing the Flag by bringing barrels of energy to your base
• Chasing thugs who steal goods
• Capturing and holding control points
• Escorting an allied ship while pirates try to stop it
• Destroying a pirate base
• Two special levels in which you play as pirates

The world

The game uses an isometric, top-down view that lets you see ships on the water, activity underwater and dragons overhead. Its fantasy setting includes colorful dragons, coastal and forest wildlife, and calm sea music. The naval combat is presented in a friendly, colorful style.
