Drakerider is a new episodic RPG for iOS from Square Enix
You know that trademark for "Drakerider" that surfaced earlier this year? Turns out it's not the sequel to PS2 game Drakengard we hoped for, but instead a new iOS RPG. Drakerider focuses on Aron and his dragon pal Eckhardt who race to save the land of Igraine from the evil spirit Dread.
Like every Square Enix iOS game, Drakerider will cost you more than the usual App Store download. The first chapter of the five-chapter game is free, but each subsequent chapter will set you back $6.99 – or $20.99 if you want the full game.%Gallery-164545%
