![]() ![]() Because you’re looking at these buttons almost the entire time, so not to die, you miss out on the animation on screen above the buttons. ![]() When you’re told what to do, one of these arrows will light up and you must press the correct button, otherwise you die. At the bottom middle of the screen is a fire button surrounded by a left, right, up and down arrow. The only other downside to the Dragon’s Lair Trilogy on Xbox One is where the button placement is on the screen. I know they were arcade games so I completely get that, I just wish each game could go on for just that little bit longer. You barely have time to breath, especially in Space Ace, which is 100mph the entire time. Just as I found myself getting sucked into each of the games, they were over! Further to that, each game comes at breakneck speed, which just makes them seem even shorter. Each game is around 30-40 minutes, barely even that, and that’s including the crazy amount of deaths. One aspect that I wasn’t really prepared for, though, is the extremely short length. ![]() This can be in changing the difficulty, the amount of lives you have or even viewing the game in a arcade style cabinet. Luckily, this release has been updated and remastered, presenting itself in wide-screen and each game has customizable options before you play to tailor things to your ideal play style. It was in the game’s best interest to be hard.Īs the trilogy is over 30 years old, it needed a bit of a touch up. You had to have incredible reaction speeds otherwise you would lose your lives and have to pour more money into the arcade machine to play again. The idea of Dragon’s Lair, with it being an arcade game and all, was that it was meant to be difficult. Your memory will be put to the test as you must replay the same sequence until you get it right, and you must have lightening fast reactions, otherwise you will, once again, die. You will die over and over again, as there is only ever one correct way/answer. The timing determines whether you live or die, in a feature-length quick time game which is incredibly unforgiving. The template is the same throughout the trilogy: each game consists of dozens and dozens of small scenes in which you must move the thumbstick in the right direction or press the fire button at the right time. You’ll be travelling through caves and dungeons, different planets and even through time itself, fighting a crazy variety of enemies along the way. In each game you take control or Dirk The Daring (Dragon’s Lair I/II) or Dexter (Space Ace) and your quest is to save the beautiful Princess Daphne (Dragon’s Lair I/II) or Kimberly and defeat the evil Singe (Dragon’s Lair I/II) or Borf (Space Ace). The Dragon’s Lair Trilogy consists of Dragon’s Lair, Dragon’s Lair II: Timewarp and Space Ace. ![]()
