**Dragoma Exivus** *(ドラゴンエクスビウス Doragoma 'ekusubiusu)* lit. **Dragoma Gen III** is the third installment to the Dragoma series and a tactical turn based RPG / Sandbox exploration game set for the Nintendo Switch developed by Sapphire Games Ltd.

The player takes role of Rex Ellis and his team exploring locations beyond Astora with a fully revised story and new mechanics such as Zenith Drive modes and battle skills.

## Profile / Summary

Rex Ellis, Draguz soldier of Vaduz, graduates from the Blitz Academy together with his childhood friend, Sephiran. The silver haired General recalls a mysterious professor during formation. They trek across all 7 continental islands across Exivus, gathering friends and enemies along the way. In response to the invasion of enemies sprouted by 8 colossal mechanical dragon guardians, their last resort in the unknown location forges a battle of between friendship and betrayal.

## New Gameplay mechanics

The game now features numerous amounts of gameplay mechanics that take the previous Dragoma titles on a whole new level such as:

* Final Strikes are now called Zenith Break, allowing the player to summon their Draguz's respective skill during battle.
* Galdr Summons are introduced, allowing the player to rally a special ally in combat.
* AEB (Active Environmental Battle) is a feature where enemies move around the battlefield in response to TAB (Time Activated Battle)
* Players can mount on special transportable vehicles such as the Alpha Fengriff, Fafnir, and the Horizon ONE.
* Pet companions Zewa and Flonia's species can be playable during explorations and battle.
* Both Zewa and Flonia quiz players with a set of trivia questions in selected locations across Exivus.
* Collectable Stamps can be scavenged around Exivus and used as items.
* A new hot air balloon theme park traverses across Exivus, allowing players to redeem prizes from exciting minigames and other attractions.

## Additional Game Notes

*See Dragoma Exivus (Design Document)*

The game is non linear, meaning the player has the ability to "fast travel" by jet in each visited country to access or revisit completed locations. Each location has it's own terrain value, inhabited by certain enemies. Each character navigates on foot across each continental island, allowing more exploration time for the player to grind in level units, items, etc.

The placement of the locations is logical: adjacent locations mimic how they might appear in the real world, ie. from academy to field to forest to town. But there are secret shortcuts in specific moments in the game. Also, the player has the ability to "fast travel" between locations they have already visited via Horizon ONE or Fafnir.

Exivus is unified since it takes place on one plane rather than multiple worlds. The circular perimeter limits the player from exploring beyond.
