Drakkhen is an infamous 1991 role-playing game for the SNES that drops players into a massive, perilous fantasy world. Combining pioneering 3D overworld exploration with 2D third-person real-time combat, the game challenges you to guide a party of four adventurers on a quest to recover the eight Tears of Drakkhen. This specific release is the German language localization.
How to Play
Your objective is to survive the harsh Isle of Drakkhen by navigating the 3D landscape and exploring the dangerous lairs of the dragon princes. On the SNES, the D-pad controls your movement and turning on the overworld, while the face buttons access menus and issue specific combat or magic commands (mapped to the arrow keys and Z/X/A/S in the browser). During encounters, your party fights automatically; managing their positioning, equipment, and spells is essential for survival.
Tips
- Do not bump into the glowing gravestones at night, as this will summon a massive, laser-firing dog head that will easily wipe out a low-level party.
- If an overworld encounter is too difficultโsuch as a sudden panther attackโdo not hesitate to run away. Retreating is often your best option to stay alive early on.
- Approach castle moats with extreme caution, as they are often guarded by deadly aquatic creatures like sharks that will drag you under.
