About Dragon Simulator 3D

Dragon Simulator 3D lets you take the shape of a dragon. You pick your element, take off and fly over a large open world filled with missions, enemies to fight and hidden collectibles.

It mixes free exploration with combat and progression, so there is always something new to find.

The game suits fantasy fans, players who enjoy open-world exploration and anyone who has ever wanted to fly as a dragon. Combat is simple enough for younger players, while the missions and collectibles keep older players busy too.

Touch screens: flying in 3D with separate climb, dive and attack keys is far easier on a computer with a keyboard and mouse

Missions, levels and exploration

Progress in Dragon Simulator 3D comes from missions and experience. Missions send you to different parts of the map to fight enemies or complete tasks, and each one you finish earns experience that levels up your dragon. A higher level makes it stronger and faster, which opens up tougher missions in more dangerous areas. Between missions, you can explore freely and look for stars hidden around the landscape. Flying high makes them easier to spot, and searching for them is a relaxing break from combat. The element you choose at the start gives your dragon its own style, and trying a different one later is a good way to see the world again with fresh eyes.

Flying like a pro

Height is safety. Climb before engaging enemies, then dive with Shift to close the distance quickly. Breath attacks are strongest against groups, while melee finishes single targets. Exploring at high altitude also makes hidden stars much easier to spot.

Tips and strategies for Dragon Simulator 3D

Climb before attacking.
Use breath attacks on groups and melee on single enemies.
Complete easy missions first to level up.
Fly high to spot hidden stars.
Land to recover if your dragon is low on health.
Fly low over open fields to find stars hidden in the grass and near rocks.
Retreat and climb if a group of enemies surrounds you, then come back with a dive.
Take on missions close to where you are rather than flying across the whole map each time.
