Flame Dragon Knights

Game Details:

"Flame Dragon Knights" was created by Dynasty International of Taiwan and is a classic among original Chinese strategy games. The game is set in a Western fantasy world and depicts the heroic story of a kingdom under the siege of internal and external troubles, with the protagonist leading the Fire Dragon Knights to defend the country.

The combat adopts the traditional strategy game style, where players need to reasonably deploy units on a grid map with complex terrain, and utilize the combination of professions, skills, and equipment to defeat the enemy. Characters can level up, advance, and learn various battle skills or magic through combat.

In terms of plot, the game shapes many unique characters through rich dialogues and cutscenes, such as the steadfast knights, mysterious mages, loyal friends, and hidden betrayers. Its music, visuals, and system were all outstanding at the time, laying the foundation for the series' success.

Editor's Recommendation:

"Flame Dragon Knights," as the first work of the series, laid a solid foundation for the strategy RPG. The gameplay is rigorous, and the plot is full of ups and downs. Although the visuals are relatively retro, its exquisite character system and combat strategy are irresistible.

Recommended for players who love the style of "Langrisser" and "Tactics Ogre." "Flame Dragon Knights" not only represents the peak of Taiwan's gaming industry in the 90s, but is also a classic worth revisiting and collecting.

Game Walkthrough:

Character Configuration Suggestions:

• It is recommended to use high-defense knights and warriors as the front row, arrange archers in the middle row, and place mages and healers in the back row.
• Pay attention to preserving the life of key characters such as the protagonist, as the game may fail immediately when the protagonist dies.

Combat Key Points:

• Terrain Bonus: Different terrains affect movement and defense, so make good use of high ground, forests, and other terrains.
• Positioning Technique: Hide low-health units behind high-defense companions to prevent being targeted and killed.
• Skill Usage: Pay attention to skill cooldown and mana management, and release control or recovery skills at critical moments.

Leveling and Equipment:

• Allocate experience reasonably to avoid a single character becoming too strong, leading to an imbalance in overall combat power.
• After each level, you can obtain gold coins or equipment. It is recommended to prioritize upgrading weapons for output units and purchasing recovery items for support units.

Hidden Characters and Side Quests:

• The game has some hidden characters that can be recruited, which requires meeting certain conditions or triggering dialogues with NPCs in specific levels.
• Pay attention to treasure chests, hidden passages, and dialogue prompts on the map, as many hidden items and plots are worth exploring.
