If a dragon had jet engines you’d have Jet Dragon, a flying, racing game that requires plenty of strategy to make a winning team.
The app debuted Friday on Apple’s gaming service, and is playable on iPhone, Mac and more.
Why can’t a dragon have a jet engine?
Racing games are a popular genre, as are flying games. But not everyone wants to pilot an airplane or a rocket. Some people prefer dragons.
Players are put in charge of a recently-hatched dragon and must train it to become a champion. Choose the right powerups and skills to make him a winner, without tiring out the beast or running out of money. And the rider needs training, too!
Over time, the player will build a flying stable with a variety of dragons. Winning requires picking the right one for race conditions.
During actual races, the dragon takes care of steering, but it’s up to players to manage boosts to get to the finish line first.
But take time to enjoy the gorgeous scenery of Venerusa as you soar through the sky.
