Time to Add Dragon Is Dead to Your Shelf
Meridiem has announced that Dragon is Dead is now available in a physical edition for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch. Developed by Team Suneat, the dark fantasy action roguelite blends fast-paced 2D hack-and-slash combat with RPG progression, offering players plenty of customization through skill trees, powerful runes, and legendary equipment.
While PM Studios is handling the game’s worldwide digital release and North American physical edition, Meridiem has produced the European-exclusive Guernian Edition. The physical release includes several collectible bonuses, such as a special sleeve, character cards, and the Lore of Guernian booklet.
In Dragon is Dead, players step into the role of an immortal Successor, a warrior blessed by the gods. Death is part of the journey, as your equipment, runes, and permanent upgrades carry over after every defeat, allowing you to return stronger with each run.
Players begin as the Spellblade before unlocking the Berserker and Hunter, each featuring unique weapons, abilities, and skill trees. Combat rewards precise dodging, aggressive combos, and mastering enemy attack patterns across procedurally changing stages. Players can also collect Rune Stones, craft Legendary and Mythic gear, and create powerful builds through artifacts.
The story follows the aftermath of the dragon Guernian’s fall, which has spread Corruption across the land. As players fight toward the mysterious Citadel, they’ll uncover the truth behind the Black Dawn and the world’s hidden past.
Overall, Dragon is Dead delivers a promising mix of challenging combat, rewarding progression, and an attractive physical edition for collectors and roguelite fans alike. If you want to learn more about the game before diving in, then check out our official review right here!
