About the Game

Unleash the dragon within you and explore a world of remarkable characters, as you define your personality, create bonds with allies and learn about the true origin of magic to stop a second Calamity. Tears of Magic is a fantasy RPG inspired by titles like Breath of Fire and BioWare games like Mass Effect and Dragon Age, where you play a dragon in a beautiful pixel art 2.5D world with rich story, colorful characters and fluid mechanics.

STORY
You were born as one of the last dragons in a world where dragons have not been seen for over a century. After manifesting your powers for the first time, you witness the disaster such unbridled power can wreak. That made you seek the training and protection of the Seekers, an organization of mages that work to prevent Corruption from occurring around Vesterose, the western continent. Under their guidance you learned to control your power and have now been sent on a mission to investigate a series of Corruption cases caused by unknown forces, where you will meet both horrifying new foes, and powerful, steadfast allies. A journey which will uncover the secrets of the world, dragons, and magic.
