Dragon Wars
King Drake of Phoebus has declared all magic illegal, slaying or exiling those who resist. In retaliation, the neighboring island nations threaten to unleash their dragons as the world teeters on the edge of war. Wrongly imprisoned, you and your friends must somehow escape in order to seek your revenge.

Dragon Wars takes place in the magical land of Dilmun, an island of salvation perverted into a world of horror by Namtar (as you might expect – the bad guy). Play Dragon Wars online!
The player starts with a party of four in the city of Purgatory, equipped with nothing more than.. well – nothing. Worst of all your magic users won’t help you out, either, because magic has been banned (to correct this unpleasing situation is one of your main objectives). Other main targets are surviving, getting out of Purgatory and toppling Namtar (maybe getting some decent clothing, one or two shiny swords and the like on your way out).
Gameplay instantly reminds of the Bard’s Tale series. Step-by-step first person 3D, opponents materialize out of the air. The combat system is turn based.
Unlike its (spiritual?) predecessors the game features a full-blown skill system, auto-mapping and many places to actually use all these abilities.
Reasonable distribution of your skill points is rather critical.
