About the Game
How to Train Your Dragon is a game from the Dreamworks movie of the same name, which is in turn based on the book by Cressida Cowell . The game takes place after the movie, when the Vikings holds the Thor's-day Thursday festival, finished off with a large dragon tournament. Players get to play as the human characters Astrid or Hiccup (both featured in the film). There are three main elements to the game: exploration, training (building a stable and training the dragons) and fighting other players in dragon combat.
Story & Setting
They also need to complete quests and collect food to keep the main parameters (food, heal, mood, rest and trust) at a high level to get the best performance in combat.
Gameplay & Core Systems
During combats the dragons are controlled directly and they fight in a 3D environment, using melee and fire attacks. Fire is built up through a meter for each successful attack, resulting in powerful fire-based strikes. During the exploration phase Hiccup or Astrid have to train the dragons. Multiplayer modes are entirely centered around the fighting aspect of the game.
Standout Features

- Through training and winning tournaments statistics such as strength and speed can be improved.
- Dragons from different console versions of the game can be imported to challenge a friend.
