Fans of How to Train Your Dragon have long awaited a video game that captures the magic of the films. While official tie-ins have been modest, a new indie project aims to deliver the epic adventure the franchise deserves. Sagas of Lumin is an action RPG that merges dragon training with exploration reminiscent of The Legend of Zelda, offering a fresh take on both worlds.
An open world filled with winged creatures and ancient ruins
In Sagas of Lumin, players take on the role of a young trainer in a fantasy kingdom shattered by a century-old conflict. The core mechanic revolves around bonding with unique dragons, each possessing special abilities to solve puzzles and overcome obstacles. The inspiration from Breath of the Wild is clear: the world is vast, vertical, and packed with secrets, featuring towers to unlock the map and shrines to explore for upgrades. Unlike Hyrule, however, the skies are the true domain, and flying on a dragon's back becomes the primary mode of travel, as well as an exhilarating aerial combat system requiring timing and coordination.

Dragon training and customization mechanics
The heart of the game is the ability to raise and customize your dragon. Each creature has a branching skill tree, allowing specialization in attack, defense, or support. Dragons can be equipped with armor and artifacts found during exploration, and their stats grow based on player interactions. This system echoes the deep bond between Hiccup and Toothless, but with RPG depth that lets you create a truly unique companion. Side quests often involve protecting villages or uncovering ancient rituals, reinforcing the narrative of harmony between humans and dragons.
A promising debut with crowdfunding success and playable demo
Sagas of Lumin was announced via a crowdfunding campaign that has already tripled its initial goal, reflecting strong community interest. A demo is available on Steam, with early praise for its artistic fidelity to the DreamWorks film style, blended with an original watercolor-inspired aesthetic. The game is planned for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch, with a target release in late 2027. Meanwhile, enthusiasts can take advantage of gaming hardware deals, such as those from Best Buy offering up to $1,300 off TVs and Apple devices, to gear up for this adventure. Also, those following tech news will note how AI is transforming game design, as recent tests have shown, but Sagas of Lumin relies on human creativity for an authentic experience.
