Hooked Gamers got a look at Divinity: Dragon Commander recently, and while it’s clear that they loved what they saw, I just can’t help but feel off-balance after reading their description of the gameplay. Aerial battles with multiple unit types I can get behind…strategy, tactics, different strengths and vulnerabilities for each type of aircraft…that’s all good. But then there’s cards that you can play to augment units? And if all goes to pot you can just jump directly into the action as a fire-breathing dragon with a jetpack?

To hear it described, it sounds like the game is trying to be everything. To hear it discussed, however…it all seems to work, despite the very odd blending of playstyles and genres.

Also, don’t miss these screenshots of Divinity: Original Sin from Gamescom.
