Released in 2009 for the Nintendo DS, 7th Dragon is a role-playing game developed by Imageepoch and the first entry in the 7th Dragon series. The game is set in a world called Eden, where dragons have conquered roughly 80% of the land, pushing humanity to the brink of extinction. The central objective is straightforward: eliminate all dragons before they eradicate the human race entirely. Players begin by assembling a party of custom characters drawn from seven distinct classes — Mage, Princess, Rogue, Knight, Samurai, Fighter, and Healer — each bringing different capabilities to the group. Exploration takes place from an overhead perspective as characters traverse the overworld, while combat shifts to a side-view presentation that displays characters and enemies facing off in turn-based exchanges. The game was released exclusively in Japan and was not officially localized for Western markets.
