What Makes Choice of the Dragon Stand Out
Tyrannize the kingdom as a fire-breathing dragon who sleeps on gold and kidnaps princesses for fun!
"Choice of the Dragon" is a thrilling interactive novel by Dan Fabulich and Adam Strong-Morse, where your choices control the story. The game is entirely text-based–30,000 words, without graphics or sound effects–and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
Battle heroes, wizards, and rival dragons in your insatiable thirst for gold and infamy. Start by dominating a local tribe of goblins, then usurp the kingdom, defending and expanding your despotic regime to annex neighboring kingdoms, incinerating the peasants in their thatched-roof cottages.
O, mighty dragon, spread your wings and let your shadow fall over the terrorized nation beneath you!
• Play as male, female, neither, or an undetermined gender
• Find and seduce another dragon to be your mate
• Kidnap princesses for good conversation, to bait heroes, or for a light snack
• Isn't it a little sexist to always kidnap princesses? Kidnap a prince instead
• Ransack holy temples, blaspheming against vengeful gods
This Roleplaying game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Its great. We love you. We would love to have kids you know, but we just wouldnt want more. Its so good please add more updates. Thank you.
This game is so fun and interesting and a true choose your own adventure. Every choice shapes what kind of dragon you are. As far as we can tell this game is not ai or anything, just pure human creativity! Highly recommend.
The game is actually very interesting, and each scenario is well thought out and written. You can choose your name, and choose hat you want to do, it isnt fake. We wish we could befriend Callax though, hes a chill dude . Other than that, the game is very good! Heres tip for getting a mate: focus on one attribute to strengthen and then find the mate that corresponds to that attribute.
So we downloaded this game and was like ok so this will be some boring old choose your own adventure game but we were happily proven wrong when we started playing it. It was incredible. One issue is that everything we did to get a mate failed, like how are you supposed to get a mate when nothing woks? Anyways it is a cool game, we like that you can customize your dragon but maybe you could add a picture to show your dragon and add eye colors. Maybe we could also choose our fire? Like ice breath, acid, lightning, water, you get the point. Other than that we think its an amazing game and dragon lovers should play this.
This is a very enjoyable game. It has a wide variety of scenarios and is very easy to play. It helps that dragons are awesome.
YOU CAN BE AS BRUTAL AS YOU WANT AND NOT GET PUNISHED! Best. Game.
Im not the type to play text games but this ones really something fun. Seeing our stats as we make choices go up or down is really fun.
Yes very good but add more please.
We feel like your mate should be able to lay egg and you and you can have a son or daughter thats just our opinion, but we dont know.
This brings us back, we remember being a kid playing this game, it inspired us to write and to make characters. Its change our life, gave us a new avenue for creativity. Thank you so much for making this.
We somehow found this app in 2012 when we were a preteen and thoroughly enjoyed playing it on our 4th Gen iPod touch. Its great to reminisce, and this fun little adventure in our hands truly stands the test of time! Thanks for preserving it in all its glory.
We like this game but we think you should ask players what eye color they would like also which power they would want to have we also think the story is a little too short if you could make it longer that would be great other than that we really like the game.
This is a great reading game that stands the test of time. It has witty humor and we enjoyed playing out different scenarios that lead to different journeys.
Why make the dragon get destroyed by other dragons we made Typhoonicous the great a Giganti-Ruler who can beat the freaking Balerion and yet this game makes something like this lose to a arrogant dragon and lose to an old man dragon come on make the dragon stronger thats all we like other than that it is a pretty good game.
It is super fun but we only had it for a day, because it is limited and kinda boring after playing it a few times. Maybe make it where they SHOW you what you wanna look like and then say is this what you look like? Then you could say yes or no. Also, maybe make it where you can write your answer if you want? And just make the life longer and the game end when you die. But all in all good game.
So it wasnt the game for us. We do think people who d like reading will love it though.
It is an amazing game no doubt, Im just having much trouble with the whole getting a mate, what do we do to get one.
We like the game a lot but we would really love to see our character in the next update can you please let us know what our character looks like dudes awesome game but you should let people see their character dudes pleeeaaassse.
The few things we dont like would be 1: how hard it is to get a mate 2: so far you cant win the first battle with the elder dragon without getting really injured 3: idk its one of our favorite things to do but we would love for there to be a save System like when you die you can load from a saved point but despite that its a great game when we get a YouTube channel we will play and promote this game once and if it gets a load system anyway we highly recommend this game.
This game is awesome! We love reading, dragons, and role play games, so when we stumbled upon this we gladly got it. It had a good variety of choices, but we didnt like how you only get one chance to get a mate. How about two? (Or three?) It was a good game, but so short. We completed it in one sitting. We know its hard to make games and stuff.. But maybe you could add to it? Overall, it was great and we loved it. But we dont know if Ill keep it . If you ever add to it, Ill happily redownload it. Again, it was GREAT. You get a chefs kiss.
We like the idea of this game and it is overall fun. But like in other reviews we wish you could have more chances to get a mate and to visit siblings. The last thing that we dont like is that we want there wasnt a wait time in order to play another game. The good things is that while you are playing you dont have to watch adds and that you get to customize your dragon we are a little sad that we dont get to see what it would look like.
Such a good game! It was so engaging and fun. A friend recommended this game to us and we have been obsessed ever since we started playing! We just wish it was longer. It took us like a couple hours to finish it. The creator should really make it to where you can get a mate and have babies, and possibly even play as them. But overall, it was an amazing game and we enjoyed it a lot.
We remember playing this game for the first time almost 15 years ago, and we enjoy it just as much now as we did then. Definitely worth playing, and worth supporting the developers. Its such a fun interactive story.
We really appreciate this games gender inclusivity for dragons, as well as descriptions and ways of characterizing the dragon. Very enjoyable even for an anxious person who made choices resulting in the least potential conflict.
This game is really fun if you like games that tell an interesting story. One problem, but this is more likely to be an App Store problem instead of a game problem, which is why we didnt count off a star. We know we completed some of these achievements, but they do not show up. Would be amazing if that was fixed.
We found this game many years ago and occasionally come back to play again. Our only complaint is that we dont want the game to end & we wish it was a longer play through.
Why do we have to wait 20 minute to play again.
This was the best game we have every played it is so fun and we love how theres so many options and details one downside is it ends fast if your on it for such a long time and finish it and maybe developer can you add stuff after the end it would be fun to still continue the game but besides that this app was just the most fun ever we know we will miss the game if we delete it and we have many happy thoughts on this game this is an awesome game for friends to also play so enjoy pls read after developer.
We know this is short, but we were looking for a dragon game, at first we thought it would be like a simulator, but what came to us was EVEN BETTER, you dont get actually BE the dragon, but its probably (in our opinion) the best dragon game ever.
The narrator is amazing, walking you through your dragon life. We just hope more is added to the story in the future so we can have longer games with more options! :).
Fresh experience of a dragons perspective.! Very interesting story, however if we could ask for an improvement, it would be to extend the story and make new routes and choices. It would freshen the experience.
We have never played a game like this before, but its very cool and imaginative. We like dragons so this is great, but can you make more dragon games like this. Maybe with different dragon species to give the person viewing it, actually get the game.
Ok this game is fine and all but it needs more gameplay like after the hibernation it resets half the gameplay and just keeps doing it we need forever lasting gameplay but this game is good.
We have read/played a few of these. This one is a good story. The choose your path gimmick is loose, your action only changes how much mana, energy, gold you have not the story arc in any way. Main issue is the ad wall halfway through. Pay to finish, lame.
This is really fun-completely surprised us!! Great story and options. We are looking forward to playing more of these.
We love these type of games, and this one is written out very well. Great story, great everything!!! Probably our FAVORITE thing Ive ever gotten on the App Store.
We didnt know what to expect when downloading this game it was so fun we though it was just another dragon simulator because we were trying to find the perfect game for us to play and this blew us away it was so fun and almost all your choices had an impact and theres so many different paths you can take and its so fun to make different decisions to take you down a certain path and we totally recommend downloading this game and other games form this creator.
This game is amazing! But, we wish there was a mode where you can do a gameplay as your character so you dont have to picture it. This game is fun. But also we wanna start as an egg, or any age. If you add these Id love it! Sincerely, Solis.
The game is great, and really fun! We recommend it 100%.
Great game it really can be an experience of the expertise. It really takes some thought into the real world, the fantasy, and your skills that you have presumably leveled up.
Its a great way to have a little choose your own adventure and it really is clever! Five stars, would recommend to people who like reading, roleplaying, and people who like doing a choose your own adventures stories.
Its a fun time, great story! Only thing we can complain about is wanting more! :D. A sequel would be truly amazing. Or adding a feature of raising dragonets with your mate in this one.
We like this a lot. We love dragons. We would kill for a sequel.
We really really love this game! We only wish is that you could have a mate then hatchling etc. Also maybe you could make a second game, a part two? Like we said we love this game. We really want another like this. Thanks.
Great game but there was something stuck on our screen and only on that game and couldnt see a lot.
The first time we got into the game it overlapped the settings and the story making it hard to choice and read its really annoying and Im sure it is for others too.
Where can we even start? Well for one, this app is extremely well made. Its very fun as well. The writing is phenomenal. If you love reading and or are just a nerd like us, then youll love this app.
We just want our dragon to awaken and raise his fledgling! To rule over his kingdom and take back the lands stolen from him! We WANT THE MIGHTY VRAKJURN TO RISE ONCE AGAIN.
We played this years ago when we were probably 12 and couldnt find it again for the longest time. Im 20 now and still love it. Its text based but really cool and fun if you are okay with reading. Acts sort of like a choose your own adventure game. Anyways, hope yall enjoy it like we do.
This is the type of game that you end up being sad when its finally over because you want more. We got totally addicted to this game and Im sure you will too, we really hope they add more to the story soon.
