When you die, you revive with your gear, runes, and unlocks intact and head back out from Cliffshire to push further into corrupted zones. Choose your Successor You’ll start as the Spellblade and unlock additional Successors as you progress.

Press reviews: “When previewing Dragon is Dead, we had to force ourselves to stop playing because we needed to sleep. So far, it’s beautiful, feels wonderful to play, has interesting and unique progression systems, and every run feels unique.” IGN
