How is 'Shoot The Dragons' different...?
* Different Gameplay every time -
Compared with the traditional shooter, the biggest difference with 'Shoot the Dragons' is that every battle experience is different. In the game, you have the possibility to choose a different buddy to support you in your fight every time. You can choose which Buddies who best support your play style and match your current tactics. Each Buddy has their own special skill and different attack method. Some Buddies can cause large amounts of damage at close range, others you can transform into that Buddy to become stronger and avoid taking damage. They can completely change your battle style and gameplay even when facing the same Boss again!
The Boss battles are another highlight compared to other 'SHUMP's' as we have multiple phases that every Boss will go through when fighting you, with their own combat rhythm and attack style, which means you need to use different strategies to beat them each round. Some even have a berserk phase which can really test the player's skill. Rather than a bullet hell game, ours is full of many challenges but also is fair.
Due to the varied combination of choices open for upgrades and character options, plus challenging Boss battles, the game may have held some difficulties when first getting started for new players. They could have become frustrated due to a difficulty in passing a particular point in the game. In order to solve this problem, 'Shoot The Dragons' has many independent events within the main game. All these events have special gameplay and offer a good selection of rewards upon completion, which help towards players updating their Buddies or Hero which allows them to break through any obstacles to their progression.
* Veteran players of the game avoiding boredom of repetition -
One of the biggest problems for the traditional Shump games is that the players become bored after long term play or decide to end the game due to the high level of grinding through repeating waves of baddies, 'another' level or even fighting the boss. 'Shoot The Dragons' combats this issue in several ways.
First off, each week we change the bosses attack style, meaning players will face a new challenge and have to develop new tactics to again. On top of this, players can get abundant amounts of rewards each week by defeating various Bosses through the Boss Leaderboards. The quicker the time they manage to defeat any of the bosses the better the rewards received.
To go with this, there is also a League system. Seven different Leagues to progress through based on your score. These Leagues reset every three weeks and when they do will generate more rewards
Lastly, we have 'The Lucky Palace' and 'Lucky Spin' It's here that players have the chance to win many of the game's resources needed for upgrading either the character or his Buddies in one of the many different ways that are available (Quality, Level ups and Attack Power).
However, your luck is the important element when playing as how you do is down to the fates.
Lucky Spin is run by tokens which you accrue through beating the Bosses in the main game. Use these to spin the wheel and generate a prize.
The Lucky Palace is where you can gamble your items for better items, win and then have the chance to make a second gamble for the jackpot prizes.
* Well-designed game story -
The whole world of Pandora, from its heroes to its villains has their own story. The further the player progresses through the game the more he will learn about the happenings of this strange world.
We tell these stories through comic storyboards that appear in the game. Learn both the history of the characters but also see how the story unfolds the deeper you go.
We believe that a mobile game can also have just as much thought put into the story as any other game, it just needs to be told differently.
Our ultimate goal to become the best 'SHUMP' game on your mobile. In order to move towards our goal, we keep working to always improve and refine the game through every update we release, always adding both new content, new characters and refining current systems whilst working on new ideas to implement to improve the players experience. We believe that a game once released is just the start of a journey, not the end of the road.
