Drake of the 99 Dragons

About

Drake of the 99 Dragons is a third-person shooter with a cel-shaded art style. You play as an undead assassin named Drake hunting down the forces that destroyed his clan. The story involves recovering a mystical artifact from a villain named Tang, who plans to use it to build an army of undead cyborgs. Gameplay mixes shooting and platforming across environments ranging from temples to jungles. It released for Xbox in 2003 and PC in 2004. The game struggled due to a rushed six-month development cycle. Idol FX had planned to expand it into a comics and TV franchise but delivered a product with missing features and rough edges. It has since gained infamy as one of the worst games ever made. Reviews at launch highlighted poor AI, clunky controls, and incomplete missions. A Metacritic score of 29/100 and a spot on Game Informer’s worst games list cement its reputation.
