Heroes of Mount Dragon

In Heroes of Mount Dragon, players unleash dragon-morphing powers in an action-packed side-scrolling brawler. The closed beta will allow players to choose from four unique heroes, each with their own fighting style, and play with up to 3 friends or solo. Following valuable feedback from its initial demo, the closed beta introduces significant enhancements and brand-new content for players to experience. Heroes of Mount Dragon offers a unique blend of classic beat 'em up action with modern features and a vibrant artistic style. Players can choose from an array of four unique dragon-morphing heroes in the closed beta, each possessing distinct skill sets and combos. They can transform into powerful dragons to unleash devastating attacks, unlock powerful upgrades and strategically utilize power-ups.

Refined Combat System: Based on player feedback, RuniQ has implemented improvements to combat, ensuring better balanced encounters and the removal of frustrating attack chain interruptions for a smoother and more engaging experience.
Competitive Mode Unlocked: Players can now test their skills against friends in the newly unlocked Competitive Mode! Face off in local or online matches to earn the title of Mount Dragon's ultimate champion. Utilize a variety of devious curses – electrify, shrink or flip your rivals' controls – to disrupt their gameplay and seize victory.
New Kingdom to Explore – The Elven Sanctuary: Venture into the mysterious and enchanting Elven Sanctuary, a brand-new kingdom teeming with Dark Elves, cunning Witches, and lurking Spiders. Discover its secrets and face its formidable inhabitants.
