The Legend of Dragoon (レジェンド・オブ・ドラグーン Rejendo Obu Doragūn) is a turn-based
role-playing video game developed by
SCE Japan Studio and published by
Sony Computer Entertainment for the
PlayStation.
The Legend of Dragoon has a turn-based style of gameplay with a
mechanism called "Additions". When the "attack" option is selected from
the battle menu, two blue squares will appear on the screen, one in the
center and one on the outer edge. The outer square will begin to shrink
and when it overlaps the inner square, the player needs hit a designated
button and doing so will allow the player to continue the addition and
do more damage. Characters will receive multiple additions over the
course of the game, which have a longer chain and deal more damage. The
longer additions, however, allow enemies the opportunity to counter and
when they do the player will need to press a different button at the
right time to prevent it and continue their attack. The player must
complete every previous addition to level five to unlock the last
addition for each character.
