  As someone who wasn’t overly excited to play Dragons: Dawn of New Racers based on prior experiences with movie related video games, I have to admit that it really surprised me with how decent it is. It’s a well rounded dungeon crawler with light RPG elements that is a wonderful way to introduce younger kids to the genre. It has an okay story with basic fighting mechanics and introductory crafting components that won’t offer much of a challenge to adults, but should absolutely delight children ages five to twelve, especially if they are fans of the How to Train Your Dragon franchise.

  In fact, I’d even argue that using the Dragons IP holds back Dawn of New Riders. Film tie-in games are always looked down upon, and the fact that it’s a franchise aimed at kids means most grown-up gamers are not going to take it seriously. But underneath its licensing, Dawn of New Riders is a sweet adventure game. Stood on its own two feet as a budget release, I can see it being pretty well received.
