The gameplay in Spyro is very much like a traditional platformer with a twist. Newer attacks will produce more damage and even armor can be upgraded for both Spyro and Cynder to increase their defense stats. These powers are completely upgradeable throughout the game by gaining experience points from fallen foes. So if you’re fighting an ice monster, your best bet is going to be Spyro’s Fire attacks. All enemies in the game respond differently to different attacks based on their own element. Spyro uses powers based on elements such as Fire, Earth, and Ice, while Cynder uses darker powers. Each character has different powers with their own unique capabilities.
One of the key elements in both the Wii and DS versions, is the ability to switch between Spyro and Cynder at any point during the game.
Malefor has engulfed the world with evil, and Spryo must use all his power to stop the Dark Master. The storyline revolves around Spyro recruiting the help of an unlikely ally, Cynder (a former enemy), to face Malefor, the Dark Master. Since Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon follows the same storyline in both the Wii and DS version, I’m combining the reviews into one while also explaining the unique features of each version.ĭawn of the Dragon is the 3rd game and final game in the Legend of Spyro series. I’m trying something a little different for this review.
