About the Game
The evil Gnasty Gnorc has turned all the dragons in the Dragon Lands into crystal. He has also stolen the dragons' gems by locking them up in chests or turning them into soldiers for his army. But he forgot about one little dragon: Spyro. Now Spyro has to travel through the dragon kingdom and free all the dragons from their crystal prison, recover the dragons' gems and defeat Gnasty Gnorc.
Gameplay & Core Systems
The game consists of six worlds: Artisans, Peace Keepers, Magic Crafters, Beast Makers, Dream Weavers and finally Gnasty's World. Every world consists of a home or hub area, three regular levels, one flight level and one boss level. Gems are found scattered throughout the levels, in treasure chests. The inventory screen shows progress for each level, how many gems found and how many dragons, it also shows many there are in each level. The real challenge lies in completing every level 100%.
Standout Features
- To do this you really have to explore every nook and cranny, the last gems are usually located on hard to reach places.
Modes & Ways to Play
Player support includes 1 Player.
Presentation & Atmosphere
The goal of the game is to beat Gnasty Gnorc by working your way through all six worlds.
