Dragons Shard

About this game

Dragons Shard seems to use the same engine as Stone Mist and I suppose was developed after it, since Stone Mist is mentioned in the games docs. Anyways its a Ultima-like RPG with a fairly in-depth character generation system and an uncommon 640x200 (!) screen resolution. The story and gameplay is all pretty generic PC fantasy roleplaying stuff, so if thats the sort of thing youre into, this could be a decent adventure for you.Dragons Shard is a DOS-based adventure game that combines elements of role-playing and strategy. It features a fantasy world where players control characters on a quest involving dragons, magic, and ancient artifacts. This game is designed with retro graphics typical of early DOS games, creating a nostalgic experience for players familiar with classic RPGs from the 1990s.
