Indie roguelite character raising game Drapline launches on PC via Steam Early Access
Vaka Game Magazine has released Drapline on PC via Steam as an Early Access game. A free demo is also available in addition to the purchasable Early Access version. This indie game, made by the solo developer Kanawo, is a roguelite character raising game where the player must raise a divine dragon girl within a year of in-game time.
The dragon girl will notably convert the food she eats to power, and the game descriptions specify that you can equip from a vast variety of skills. However, take note that she can eat not only conventional food but also everything, including furniture and even terrains as well. The way you raise her throughout the session will heavily determine the ending you get.
You can find the official screenshots and descriptions for Drapline right below. Even though the screenshots are in Japanese, the Steam page confirms that this game is also available in English and Simplified Chinese.
Raise the Divine Dragon You’ve Nurtured to Overcome the Catastrophe!
"DRAPLINE" is a roguelite training game where you raise a dragon girl who eats anything and train her to become the strongest in one year. With the game’s ending achievable in as little as about one hour, you can enjoy multiple playthroughs and experiment with various training strategies.
Raising the Dragon Girl
To prevent the impending World's Doom in one year, you must raise a dragon girl known as the "Divine Dragon." This food-loving dragon eats anything and transforms it into her own power. Meat, fish, rocks, iron... no, even lava, mountains, and other people's houses become fine delicacies in her eyes.
Battle Against the Catastrophe
A mysterious enemy stands in your way, intent on bringing about the end of the world. Will you fight with powerful attacks? Use defense and healing skills? Or weaken them gradually with poison? Combine over 100 different skills to create synergies and build your own unique strategy.
Your Unique Growth Through Nurturing
The Divine Dragon is a pure being, just born. It’s not only her strength you must nurture, but her heart as well. Depending on how you raise her, her appearance and personality will change over time. The people she interacts with and the way she spends her year will determine the various possible endings to the story. Ultimately, the truth behind the "calamity" may also be revealed.
However, the Divine Dragon eats "anything".
If you raise her the wrong way...
