The game is about the peace demonstration by six elemental dragons of water, fire, thunder, earth, wind, and ice. Each player can pick a separate role to play. When a black dragon suddenly appears and starts to destroy the land, it’s up to one young dragoneer to stop it with the help of his friends.

With this game, the player selects the order in which the characters are to act including Attack to attack an opponent, Mana to perform skills and magic, Guard to defend against an opponent’s attack, Item to use an item in the inventory, and Escape to run away from battle. Considering that characters possess elemental "dragon orbs", they are able to use "dragon skills" too. Some of those skills produce additional damaging elemental effects called "elemental combos". In the field, there are monsters roaming as flying eyeballs, which trigger battle sequences when the character comes into contact with them. These eyeballs chase after the on-screen character if he/she comes into the eyeballs’ view.

    The graphics and sound are a high point, so there is some merit to be found in the game. Though there are some rather frequent load times, you'll still find that the majority of the presentation is well thought out and quite impressive. The cutscenes were perhaps my favorite aspect, but the overall attention to detail, coupled with the incredibly designed characters only added to the overall visual flair that the title had to offer. The soundtrack is decent, as well,... Read more

    Dragoneer’s Aria is essentially a finer honed version of Blade Dancer, that lacks many of the flawed facets of that game. If you hated Blade Dancer, you’ll likewise hate this, but it you loved it, you’ll more than likely cherish this all the more. Read more

    Dragoneer's Aria is, at best, an average RPG. It does little to stray from the typical RPG formula. It's not bad, but it's not good. As a paint-by-numbers RPG, you will be all too familiar with the premise, the characters, and the gameplay. Not to mention the ponderous battle system. Playing Dragoneer's Aria is like driving a moped instead of a motorcycle. It will eventually get you to where you're going, but it's slow, less adventurous, and even a little bit... Read more

    Looking at the PSP's library as a whole, the one thing that really stands out is the number of RPGs available. Although the genre had an incredibly rough start on the system, the quality has gone up along with the number of titles available. Read more

    A frustrating combat system derails what could have been an interesting RPG experience on the PSP. That's it? Yikes. Unlike Icarus, poor Will hardly even left the ground. Giving players what they wanted, warts and all The only thing gone rogue here is a sense of quality. Two Rock Band Signed Stratocasters up for auction with proceeds going to Teenage Cancer Trust. A first look at the upcoming shooter from THQ. Can now be downloaded for the PS3 or the PSP. The next... Read more
