RuneScape: Dragonwilds

Dragonwilds follows the familiar survival crafting loop, but wraps it in RuneScape's skill system. You chop trees, mine ore, fish and gather materials, then use them to build a base and craft weapons, armour and potions. Each skill levels as you use it, and the RPG systems unlock new abilities and spells as you progress, so your character grows in a way long-time RuneScape players will recognise.

Magic changes how you handle everyday jobs. Ashenfall is rich in a power called Anima, and Jagex's examples include summoning a spectral axe that fells trees instantly, blinking out of danger in a cloud of magic, pulling a tornado of fish out of a lake and blowing apart ore veins with a snap of your fingers.

Combat pits you against classic RuneScape creatures such as Zogres and Black Knights, as well as a brand-new enemy called the Garou. The dragons are the real threat. You track them down, prepare with crafted gear and potions, and challenge them one by one on the way to the Dragon Queen.

You can play alone or in online co-op, with save-anytime support, Steam Cloud and partial controller support listed on the store page. There are 50 Steam achievements to chase.

Dragonwilds takes place on Ashenfall, a continent that RuneScape's world had forgotten, where the dragons have awoken and wild magic is spilling out of fractured lands. As you explore its regions, you follow a trail of destruction and uncover why the continent is breaking apart, learning not only how to face the dragons but how to beat them. The story blends high fantasy with established RuneScape lore, and builds towards a final fight with the Dragon Queen, the most powerful force on the continent. It is backed by reorchestrated RuneScape music and hours of new tracks.
