How to Play

View of Dragon Wilds in action

Dragon Wilds is a web-based combat game in the style of games typically found on computer bulletin boards (BBSes). Your mission is to vanquish monsters and train yourself for the ultimate goal: defeating the Green Dragon. This dragon lives in a cave near the southeast end of the map marked with a "D".

You are represented by the letter "X" on the map. It will change location as you move around the wilderness.

You will encounter various monsters in your travels, some of which will be easily dispatched, and some of which will be very dangerous to your health. It is up to you to decide whether to charge bravely into battle or to run away in panic when an opponent appears. Death is permanent.

If you become injured you can rest to recover some of your health, but be warned -- laying around makes you look like an easy mark for a wandering monster.

You start with an old dagger and the clothes on your back. There is a shop on the map, marked with an "S". Though you don't have any coins to begin with, defeating opponents will gradually increase your bankroll and allow you to buy some more effective equipment.

As you gain experience you will go up in level. Advancing to second level requires 250 experience points.

Since this is a text-only game, if you'd like the text to be larger or smaller, just use the normal zoom feature of your web browser to change its size (Ctrl+ and Ctrl- on most browsers).

It is free to create an account and free to play Dragon Wilds.
