Gameplay

The gameplay of Drakan: The Ancients' Gates is fairly identical to its predecessor. It is a third-person perspective action-adventure that consists of two main gameplay parts - in the air and on the ground.
When flying in the air while riding Arokh, the dragon, the duo is superior to any ground-based foe, but to defeat flying enemies takes a great deal of maneuvering and aiming. Arokh can target enemies and spew powerful fireballs in their direction. While controlling Arokh, the player is given free movement in three dimensions to ascend, descend, strafe left and right, and move forward and back.
When on (and sometimes under) the ground, the player controls the main character Rynn directly. Players can lock on to specific enemies and deliver attacks, including combo moves.
Plot
This game takes place sometime after the events in Order of the Flame. Rynn and Arokh answer a call from the city of Surdana. Lady Myschala of Surdana asks for Rynn and Arokh's assistance. An evil race of three-faced beings known as the Desert Lords has begun rallying the monsters from around the world (similar to how the Dark Union did in Order of the Flame) and have begun enslaving humans. Around the world, there exist four gateways that lead to the world where the dragon mother, Mala-Shae, and her brood have been slumbering since the Dark Wars. Only a Dragon of the Elder Breed can open the gates, and this is why Rynn and Arokh (more specifically, Arokh) are needed to open these gates, so that the humans can once again bond with dragons and fight back against the Desert Lords. Along the way, the two of them must go on various side quests to accomplish goals leading them to the ultimate goal.
