Curse of the Dragonbeast

About

Curse of the Dragonbeast is a team-based turn-based strategy game with RPG and MOBA elements. Players control human thralls bound to dragons, fighting in 5v5 battles to destroy enemy dragons and collect magical artifacts. Each match blends tactical positioning, resource gathering, and character progression as you level up your thrall and equip gear to gain advantages. The grid-based combat emphasizes coordination, with spells and abilities tailored to dragon-aligned factions. Between matches, you explore maps to scavenge items and complete quests, feeding your master’s ambitions while navigating a world where dragons manipulate humanity as pawns. The game’s grimdark setting stands out, pitting corrupted dragons against noble Dragonlords in a war that reshaped Earth’s magic. While the lore is dense, the gameplay keeps it grounded in accessible mechanics that mix MOBA teamwork with TBS depth. With support for co-op, PvP, and battle royale modes, it offers flexibility for solo or group play. Early feedback highlights its niche appeal for fans of hybrid strategy games, though some note the learning curve for balancing combat and exploration. The mix of genres and persistent world elements makes it a standout for players seeking a fresh take on dragon-driven conflict.

Storyline

Dragons were the child of the eternal makers. The makers created the temporal universe for their children to live in. They sent the dragons to shape the matter of the universe, to cultivate life throughout. After many millions of years pass, the dragons become lazy, many of them die out throughout the universe, falling to a sickness of time. Only a handful of dragons survive on Earth, as Earth is a crux, a weak point in the fabric between realms. A place where the eternal leaks through, in drips and dribbles, as magic. However without the dragons there, carrying their eternal energy in their life force, (the dragon soul), then earth becomes cut off from the eternal, and magic is sealed. Just the eldest of dragons are alive, but they have many children, born of the temporal realm, with only traces of the eternal in their blood. These are the lesser dragons, commanders of their armies. Dragons begin to despise their charge and ward. They grew discontent to be caregivers to humans or shepherds to the Earth. A group of dragons, led by the eldest dragon, encounter demons deep underground, at a crux to the Nether realm. Upon entering a treatise with a demon from the Nether, the eternal magic in their blood became corrupted by Nether. The curse of the Dragonbeast. This leads to the humans seeking aid of Dragons un-corrupted, Swearing fealty and calling them Dragonlords, waging war against the corrupted Dragonbeast, in which they employ monsters and such to fight back. After many decades of bloodshed, the war comes to a head. The Dragonbeasts armies are too strong, too many human slaves for the Dragonlords to fight against, so in a last ditch effort, they send a colony of humans through a portal to another realm. The Aether realm, a layer between the realm of temporality and eternity, like the Nether, but much more hospitable. The Dragonlords then lock into battle against the forces of the Dragonbeast. After a long and harrowed fight, the Dragonlords knowing they have no choice, cast a spell to seal themselves, and the Dragonbeasts, into a moon, orbiting Saturn. The spell is so powerful, humans, and the face of the planet, are blasted back to the stone age, magic goes away for well over millennia. Today the Dragonbeast has returned, bringing his curse with him. The Dragonlords and Dragonbeasts have begun waging a new war for earth. They levy pockets of men, under the mind control of their blood, as soldiers and pawns to gather items of power and gain territory against other dragons. You have been chosen be one of these most trusted thralls, to a merciful dragon, in this endless grasp for power and subjugation. Now go forth, and gather the artifacts of your masters desire and return them with haste, lest the curse take your bones!
