## What is RPG Dragon Lapis?

The dawn of a new hero!

A thousand years ago, a great battle ensued between two dragons, one gold and the other silver, where they were sealed away. However, the real tale begins many centuries later after the Silver Dragon reawakens, and launches an assault on a frontier village in the far north.
 
There, a royal knight by the name of Lucas serves as a guard after being relegated to the rural and much isolated location by the King. Yet, little does he know he is, in fact, a descendant of the hero, Alaric, who once sealed the Gold and Silver Dragons in human form. Nonetheless, when tragedy strikes, he soon finds his place, and after teaming up with a band of unlikely companions, sets out on an adventure to save the world.

### 4/5 — Lovely but not optimized

*2026-08-16, version 1.1.5*

Cute story, minimized ads. You only see small banner ad and a 5s ad to save progress. It’s chill and very refreshing compared to the average free smartphone games. Make sure to get all your characters lv 4(☀️but blue) in warrior, thief, and priest class for their 1.5x bonus that carries across class. Don’t bother filling the skill plate and only get the skills for the characters that will use them.
I wish there was a better in-game explanation for how that worked, where the skill plates are (🌈☸️), and that you could UNDO a mis-assigned skill plate (say, before using it).
All the same, it’s amazing to get this kind of game, made with love, free on mobile. Give it a shot

### 5/5 — So good!

*2026-08-15, version 1.1.5*

Fun story. Funny writing. Good play. Fun upgrade system.  My only complaint is that some of the character arcs feel a little abbreviated. Could have spent more time seeing Melvin change his attitude and become brave.

### 4/5 — 中々良い

*2026-07-23*

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-07-12, version 1.1.5*

Pretty fun and funny little rpg im on

### 3/5 — No way to be ad free

*2026-07-09, version 1.1.5*

Game is good. Ads are a little overwhelming. I’d pay like $9.99 to be ad free, but there’s no option to be ad free anywhere so the ads can be a bit much

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2026-07-04, version 1.1.5*

The game itself is good I would like to see a better layout. There isn’t much of a tutorial about in game mechanics. But overall a very good pixel rpg. I appreciate that the developers only really hit you with an ad to save. That’s better than some games that just stop you mid play to show an ad.

### 5/5 — Old School RPG

*2026-06-30, version 1.1.5*

Great call back to classic RPGs!

### 5/5 — Nostalgia from the 90’s

*2026-06-28, version 1.1.5*

Very nostalgic of the 90’s era of rpg’s. However, almost similar to EarthBound it does not fall into the classic Tolkien or high fantasy style of storytelling but is instead more comedic with breaking the third wall elements at times. In this sense it’s something comfortingly familiar from the past while also providing something new. I am enjoying it 4 hours in thus far.

### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2026-05-07, version 1.1.5*

Brings back that old school RPG feel. Been playing it a few days and enjoying every bit of it!

### 5/5 — Very fun

*2026-05-01, version 1.1.5*

I love it, it reminds me of the jrpg’s i grew up playing
