Although the name Dragon Storm has
been popping up on Nintendo’s
release lists once in a while,
information about the game’s content,
genre, or story has been a well-kept
secret.
Programmed in the UK, this surprise
arcade action game is apparently
making it to the N64. So far, the
game’s alleged publisher, MGM, has
not confirmed that a Nintendo 64
version is under development (in fact,
MGM has not announced any N64
projects), but secret custodian
sources swear on their broomsticks
that it’s coming out.
Set in the Middle Ages amidst
wizards and dragons, Dragon Storm
mixes fast-paced action with
exploration, adventure, and strategy.
Gameplay reportedly involves
four-player hack'n'slash action,
comparable to a polygonal Final
Fight.
The story involves the magical land of
Tengarra, which has fallen into the
hands of the evil Queen Zordanthia.
Without a spark of goodness in her
soul, Zordanthia has dedicated her life
to terrorizing Tengerra’s inhabitants
and uses her hoards of dark creatures
to wreak havoc where she can. But
when the former Grand Wizard of
Tengerra returns after 100 years of
meditation, the scared inhabitants see
a glimmer of hope at the horizon. The
wizard manages to find the
descendants of the country’s three
great heroes, Morpheus, Kage, and
Tia. With the help of Tengerra’s
magical Earth Stones and mystical
creatures, the four set out to free the
lands from the clutches of the
malevolent queen.
Dragon Storm is said to be very early
in development, so don’t hold your
breath waiting for it. Actually, it’s safe
to say that you should NEVER hold
your breath waiting for an N64 title...
We will report more about Dragon
Storm when MGM or another
publisher is ready to formally
announce it or confirm the game's
existance. Until then, remember that
this game does not exist. Anything you
saw was probably just a weather
balloon.
