Trials of the Blood Dragon

Mechanics

The mechanics of Trials of the Blood Dragon are a unique combination of arcade and physics-based races known from the Trials series and the kitschy world of the action movies of the 1980s, known from Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon. The basics, however, remained faithful to previous titles by RedLynx, and the gameplay is focused on beating levels full of obstacles, which you can not only have to finish in one piece, but also as quickly as possible.

Still, the gameplay was largely expanded, and apart from a classic motorcycle, you can also use other means of transport, such as a BMX, a freight car or… your own feet. There's more to do in game than just racing, as some levels require the use of a grappling hook or a firearm. During the story campaign, the Colt twins visit many wacky locations, participate e.g. in the Vietnam War, Miami streets riots, a fight with TV show characters in Tokyo, and even go into space.

Technical aspects

Visuals-wise, Trials of the Blood Dragon for PC, XONE and PS4 is vastly different from the other games in the Trials series, and the locations are rendered in a colourful kitschy style, matching the wacky atmosphere of the production. The game is complemented by a soundtrack by Australian band PowerGlove – the creators of the Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon soundtrack.
