In Dragon Storm, the story improved a lot — now it feels like something the writers genuinely wanted to tell.

60 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In Dragon Storm, gameplay got a huge boost: the new Shaikan (half-dragon) faction was pure joy.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Together with some pretty good graphics for their time, as well as a soundtrack whose musical themes are reminiscent of LOTR or WoW, they make it, in general, a very competent game.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack deserves considerable praise because it elevates nearly every major moment in the campaign.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Many options about your character customization and .... well, i think its gonna be enough if i say that its like in warcraft 3 but only you are given more freedom about equipment and spell.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The best part of it is the plot and the combat system.
