As the massively multiplayer online gaming marketplace continues to expand, developers are continuing to push the boundaries of the "standard" gameplay that we enjoy. A prime example of that is THQ*ICE's upcoming 3D side-scroller, Dragonica Online. Recently unveiled to the public via its open beta test, Dragonica is a mixture of cartoon style with fast-paced action. Ten Ton Hammer recently sat down with Product Manager Ben Serviss to find out more about this fantasy-based action MMO.
Ten Ton Hammer: What would you suggest is the hardest content in game? What can players hope to achieve if they beat this sort of epic monster?
Serviss: Thats going to come near the end of El Grego, which is the first major continent in the game. Lavalon, a man-made magma drake, a giant dragon created by an evil scientist who really intended to rein destruction upon his enemies, has somehow developed a mind of his own. There are a number of challenges with this boss. First off, they have to reach this guy. Then they have to manage to face off against his incredible destructive power. A lot of the challenge is taking everything that you have learned from all of the prior combat encounters and transferring that into a more epic experience.
