Critic Reviews for The Nameless: Slay Dragon
A rich, character-driven choose-your-own-adventure story and a deep, rewarding job system make The Nameless: Slay Dragon a must-play for fans of classic RPGs and visual novels alike. It may be slightly rough around the edges, but its many strengths easily outweigh its few flaws.
The Nameless: Slay Dragon is a thoroughly robust, entertaining RPG adventure.
The Nameless: Slay Dragon has a lot of deep and engaging mechanics you can customize a variety of ways. You can be turned off by the static map or blocking but the story is pretty rich.
In a virtually infinite sea of indie RPGs, The Nameless: Slay Dragon manages to stand out by respecting its many influences and delivering a cohesive, polished and especially fun adventure, which proves to have done the right choice in focusing on the narrative and giving players freedom. Pretty much flawless from a technical standpoint, the Switch version is a great way to follow the steps of the legendary Dragon Slayer and bring peace to mankind once and for all.

The Nameless: Slay Dragon is a suitable choice for fans of independent role-playing games, tabletop adaptations, and players who enjoy tactical combat and making meaningful choices. It costs about $17.99 and has multiple endings. For completists, there may be 100 hours of material. You can have a lot of fun with this if you don’t mind randomness and dice-based chaos.
The Nameless: Slay Dragon is a significant experiment that combines elements from various RPGs into a cohesive, unified experience. It doesn't master any one system, but it also doesn't fall apart because of its ambitious goals. Instead, it creates a space where exploration, combat, storytelling, and building stats can all co-occur without one overshadowing the others.
