This was my first RPG. The game that kicked off my fascination with adult fantasy. I was a kid so maybe it shouldn't have but I didn't understand it at the time. It was an adventure fantasy RPG that had me constantly going back and exploring the world. I also pretended that I lived in one of the houses in the first town. Good times.
Great game with a great story set in a dark fantasy world with beautiful scenery. It's a classic and full of adventure, and there's nothing cooler than riding on the back of a magificent, powerful dragon! Venture through swamps, caves, islands, tundra, and deserts and defeat a variety of monsters on a quest to stop a race of demonic desert lords from conquering the world of Drakan.
I played Drakan: Order of the Flame in my childhood, and I'm happy I picked up this sequel; it both satisfied my nostalgia and gave me a new experience. Love both games.
Drakan: The Ancients' Gates was not the sequel, that Drakan: Order of the Flame would have deserved. But it was nevertheless a very good action-adevnture that kept much of the spirit of of the first Drakan.
Drakan: The Ancients' Gates was unfortunately very ill-fated: It was released exclusively for PS2, a fact that irritated and alienated the fan base of the first Drakan on PC.
Drakan: The Ancients' Gates never received the attention and love that it deserved. It would do the game justice to be finally playable on PC as well and to find a place on GOG.com
I still have this on PS2 and the reason I won't give that device up. Played it thru at least twice. And if IIRC one of the deadliest weapons in the game was a chicken!
This was the firs RPG I remember playing, the world felt huge, flying around on the dragon never got old. My dad and I must have put dozens of hours into this game and to this day it has a special place in my nostalgia bubble.
At my age my gaming years are counted so I really hope it makes it to GoG soon. After learning that a german base fan group was asking for the sequel to Drakan: Order of the Flame, it's been decades of longing for this. Up to day I've been unable to experience Drakan: The Ancient Gates because it was PS/2 only. And it came to the point that I almost purchase a FAT PS/3 console (it runs ps/2 titles) in 2024 just to play it not knowing if I was even going to be able to find the PS/2 disk. Can't wait to have it available in GoG.
