Dragon Raja (Mobile game)

Dragon Raja (Chinese: 龙族幻想, *Lóngzú huànxiǎng, lit. Dragon Clan Fantasy*) Is a Massively Multiplayer Online Game made with Unreal Engine 4 by Epic Games and Loong Entertainment.

Initially codenamed *Project:SU,* it was released with the title "*龙族幻想"* in China in 2019. Since then, it has also been released in multiple languages and regions with varying names.

## Gameplay

Dragon Raja is a third person multiplayer online game. Player characters can move in open spaces and interact with NPC characters. Methods of travel include walking, running, driving vehicles and running on walls to climb buildings and cliffs. The player can choose between different combat classes.

The game offers multiple activities, from PVE story missions and dungeons to PVP competitions, including a battle royale mode and car racing. Players can customize their character's body, face features and clothes, including cosmetic options for weapons.

Non-combat activities include careers, in which a player can take on jobs to unlock different cosmetic and gameplay rewards. Players can also get married, have children (Heirs), build and furnish houses, interact in an in-game social media app, exchange text messages with the franchise's characters and collect them as combat allies.

## Story

See: Player Character (2019 Mobile Game)

The story of the game is an alternate retelling of Dragon Raja III - Black Moon Tide, followed by Dragon Raja IV - Odin's Abyss.

> "It should've ended this way. Similar to how the ending was set in another world and I couldn't change it. But that world didn't have you. Ever since Black Swan Bay, you're the biggest variable in this world."

> -Z to [Player], while speaking of Erii's fate

The plotline of the novels and the game greatly differ, as the latter takes place in an alternate universe, with a re-organization of the novels' events, in order to make the game more friendly for general audiences unfamiliar with the source material. Thus, many mature events have been downplayed or have been outright cut or altered.

The player experiences the story through a custom-made protagonist instead of Luminous (Lu Mingfei). This new character follows and supports the original cast through the events of the novels.

During the level 112 main quest, Z implies that he is aware of the existence of both timelines, with the player's character being the greatest difference between both worlds. This gives him hope about the future as there might be a possibility of saving Erii. By being slotted into the story since the fall of Black Swan Bay, the plot diverges due to the Player character being an unexpected variable.

## Localization of names

After the game was translated to english for its global release, some names and terminology were modified to make it more friendly to western audiences.

### PC Version

Dragon Raja's cross-platform port to PC was announced on the 10th and then released on the 27th of August, 2021. Currently, the PC client is only for the game's Global version. It is downloadable by following the provided link from the Facebook post announcing the launch, but it was reported that it did not work with Chrome browsers. Additionally, Google accounts cannot be used to login.

The desktop release has been notorious for technical issues, with users reporting:

* Technical issues:
	+ Inability to open files.
	+ Error notifications.
	+ The possibility of requiring workarounds to download/use the client, such as needing to download secondary applications.
* Difficulty to play without a touchscreen.
	+ Screen controls require dragging the mouse.
	+ A lack of custom keybinds.
* Server issues:
	+ Some users are unable to log into accounts properly; "character data missing" bug.
	+ Cross-server game modes wouldn't work.

Users have noted an increase in graphic quality, while still recommending the use of an emulator due to the technical issues.
