Here Be Dragons

About

Here Be Dragons casts you as a mad captain in a turn-based strategy game where you hunt mythical beasts to clear the way for Columbus. Navigate a dynamic map that shifts as you defeat dragons, sea serpents, and other legends. Each encounter blends resource management and tactical positioning, with quirky dialogue and absurd objectives. The game leans into its historical satire, letting you play with (and against) famous explorers in a loop of escalating chaos. The living map design stands out, with hand-drawn tiles that transform after each victory, creating a constantly evolving world. Its mix of humor and strategy has built a cult following, particularly on Switch and PC. While short on replayability, the 10-15 hour campaign delivers a sharp, irreverent take on colonialism and gaming tropes. Available on multiple platforms, it’s a brisk ride for fans of cheeky indie design.
