Dragonkin: The Banished - Legendary Hunters vs the Dragon Threat
A world drenched in dragon blood. Monsters rising from the earth. Legendary heroes called to the hunt. Dragonkin: The Banished casts you as one of four selectable heroes on a single mission: track down the dragon creatures and eliminate the Dragon Lords. Along the way you will tame wyrmlings, shape unique builds with the Ancestral Grid, and help rebuild the last refuge of humanity.
Liberate a Ravaged World
The setting is blunt and grim in a satisfying way. Corruption has spread from dragon blood, and evil creatures crawl up from the depths. Your campaign is straightforward: battle through corrupted territories, confront ever-stronger dragon-born foes, and push closer to the Dragon Lords that control them. Progression comes from gear, skills looted in battle, and the evolving relationship with your wyrmling companions.
Four Heroes Ready to Hunt
You can pick the hero that suits your preferred approach. The Knight and Barbarian deliver close combat brawn. The Oracle and Archer keep their distance and strike with precision. Each hero brings distinct abilities and fighting techniques tailored to facing dragon threats. As you play, your character, equipment, wyrmling, and Ancestral Grid all evolve, so choices early on can grow into very different late game archetypes.
Ancestral Grid and Power Builds
The Ancestral Grid is the game's standout progression mechanic. Skills are acquired as loot from battles and then placed on the grid alongside a range of modifiers. Each slot can be optimized to amplify power or alter how a skill behaves. Because every hero has their own grid, the number of viable skill and modifier combinations is large, encouraging experimentation and custom builds rather than cookie cutter setups.
The City of Montescail
Nestled in the mountains, Montescail is humanity's last bastion and a core hub of the experience. The city grows as you play. Your decisions and discoveries direct its development. Upgrade buildings, welcome new residents, and unlock additional equipment and services that support both your character and the wider campaign. The city is more than cosmetic; it's a persistent progression layer that ties into gear, services, and long term goals.
Co-op and Endgame Activities
Dragonkin: The Banished supports online co-op for up to four players. From arriving in Montescail through to endgame, the entire adventure can be shared with friends. Play together to upgrade the city, unlock new services, and tackle tougher challenges as a group. The description notes dedicated endgame activities, suggesting content designed to test optimized builds and cooperative strategies once the main hunt is under control.
The package on offer emphasizes action, customization and shared play. If you like hunting monstrous beasts, fiddling with deep build systems, and watching a refuge grow into a true stronghold, Dragonkin: The Banished sets those pieces in a single, cooperative-focused mix.
