Game History
Dragon Force is a real-time strategy game developed by Working Designs and published by Sega for the Sega Saturn. The game was created as an original title for the console and represents a unique entry in the Saturn's library, combining strategy gameplay with action elements.
Dragon Force was first released in Japan on March 29, 1996, followed by a North American release on September 30, 1996. The game did not receive a European release during the Saturn's commercial lifetime, making it primarily a Japanese and North American title.
Upon launch, Dragon Force received mixed to positive reviews from critics who appreciated its ambitious real-time strategy mechanics and large-scale battles. However, the game achieved only modest commercial success, selling fewer copies than major Saturn titles. It was overshadowed by other strategy and action games released during that console generation, contributing to its relatively obscure status at the time.
Today, Dragon Force is historically significant to collectors for several reasons. As a working Designs localization, it features the company's characteristic quirky English translation and cultural adaptations. The game has become increasingly sought-after in the collector's market due to its scarcity, originality, and the growing appreciation for Saturn's diverse software library. Original copies command notably high prices on the secondary market, particularly complete versions with original cases and documentation.
The game's significance has also grown as emulation and preservation efforts have made it more accessible to modern audiences, allowing players to experience what was previously a difficult-to-obtain title. Dragon Force exemplifies how certain games gain cult status and collector value years after their commercial release, particularly when they represent unique gameplay experiences or come from respected publishers like Working Designs.
Interesting to note is that Working Designs' involvement marked an attempt to bring distinctive strategy gameplay to the Saturn during an era when the console was better known for action and arcade games. This positioning as a niche title ultimately contributed to both its commercial underperformance and its later appeal to dedicated collectors seeking unusual and historically significant Saturn software.
