GDC 2014: Take control of your raids in city-builder Mark of the
Dragon | Android Central
One of the annoying things about
the current breed of Clash of Clans-style city builders, it's that
you have little say in how raids and attacks unfold beyond
deploying your units. That's getting addressed in Gamevil's
upcoming Mark of the Dragon, which we played around with at GDC
2014. The usual freemium tropes are present, like gathering
resources from your village, upgrading structures, researching, and
training troops.
When taking the battle to the enemy, you can deploy troops as
usual, except this time you get a dragon that you can manually
control to destroy certain defenses when the typically dumb AI
would have just gnawed on some superficial building and get taken
down by well-placed turrets. This mechanic alone is enough to to
up-end any traditional strategies you might have developed for
these kinds of titles.
Besides that, you've got solid 3D graphics in a genre that leans
primarily on 2D. The terrain style of your village changes
depending on the kind of dragon you're working with, which adds
some much-needed variety to your raiding locations. Casual gamers
will be able to pick up Mark of the Dragon on Android and iOS this
summer.
