Minimalist fantasy RPG for mobile
Knight & Dragon III is a role-playing game from dgjam studio. This minimalist game lets you choose your character and roam a fantasy world. One day, you receive a certification proclaiming your guild membership, sending you into a small village within the Republic of Gringard. Help the locals and help defend the republic from threats ranging from internal strife to problems with the neighboring Lindahl Empire.
Its minimalist approach makes Knight & Dragon III appear text-heavy, with most interaction limited to texts and icons. However, its vast content makes it replayable like World of Dragons: Simulator and Redungeon.
Enter an epic fantasy story
Knight & Dragon III offers an immersive story that starts small and blows out of proportion into an epic quest. You start as a new member of a guild, summoned to a small village. Here is where problems start to unfold, from brigands attacking your location to a neighboring empire getting ready for war. The story proceeds depending on your choices in-game, making it replayable.
As a fantasy RPG, it has most of the experiences included with the subgenre. It has intense battles where your moves and loadout affect your ability to fight and survive. Choose from a wide range of weapons. Despite not having character models, its real-time combat allows you to dodge, parry, and even counter with well-timed movement execution. Story-wise, watch out for a good cast of NPCs to aid the experience.
For a game with its storyline and content, the lack of visuals and animation serves as its main drawback. It feels like a digital adaptation of a tabletop game, with most interactions limited to text accompanied by icons in some cases. You have no character portraits and movements. Also, the game is originally in Japanese, so you will encounter minor translation issues in the English localization of the game.

The game’s text-based interactions evoke a tabletop feel, though minor translation issues can occur. Overall, it delivers a deep, engaging experience for fans of the genre.
