Command dragons with the legendary blade Talonsbane. Take to the sky and burn a kingdom of machines. The Demon King has built his army out of iron and steel. His fleets hold the coast, his wall runs a hundred miles across the desert, and his foundries have burned four years straight, building the greatest invasion force in the world. Two swords in all the world can still call dragons out of the sky, and both of their wielders are now united against the Demon King. TAKE BACK THE WORLD Twelve hand-built stages carry the war from the burning harvest fields of Greenshire to a throne of black glass at the end of it. Break four hundred dreadnoughts on the Salt Coast. Cross a hundred miles of rust wall standing across the dunes. Burn the foundries under the mountain while they are still lit. Then play through the second campaign and take the same world back from the other side, with its own stages, its own bosses and its own ending. THIRTEEN BOSSES Sky fortresses. Ironclad flagships. A foundry that flies and builds more of itself while it fights you. At the end of the road stands the Demon King. FOUR DRAGONS EMBER breathes a wide spread that fills lanes. ZEPHYR flies fast and throws a lance that pierces a whole column. TERRA wears armour and fires flak that shreds formations. NOX sends seekers that hunt on their own. BUILT FOR A THUMB Touch anywhere on the left thumbstick to command your dragon. Overdrive, focus and the ultimate fire breath are controlled by the buttons on the right. Your regular attack is automatic, so both hands stay free for flying. Fly your wings and tail through anything; a hit on the heart is the one that costs you. Graze fire to build rage, chain kills for a multiplier, and put your name on the board. Plays on iPhone and iPad. DOWNLOAD ONCE, PLAY FOR FREE ANYWHERE Free and complete. Twelve stages, thirteen bosses, four dragons and three difficulties, yours the moment it finishes installing. It runs in airplane mode, on a train, underground, anywhere.
