8 Incredible Video Game Mechanics You’ll Never Get To Play

5. Fighting Alongside A Dragon, Against Other Dragons - Scalebound

There is rarely a situation that cannot be made more impressive, bombastic, and downright awesome, simply by introducing a massive dragon. And video games excel at doing dragons justice. We've had countless epic battles against the fire-breathing beasts, but very few games have given us a chance to fight alongside one. And even fewer have proposed refining and polishing that mechanic.

Scalebound was going to do just that. The game would see you fighting alongside your dragon companion, using him to land combos and eccentric manoeuvres. The dragon was planned to be an extension of your character with the two of you working together to pull off some legendary moves.

If that sounds awesome to you then I've got some bad news. Cancelled in 2017, Scalebound isn't going to be hitting the shelves, meaning our tag-team dragon battle fantasies will have to remain just that; fantasies.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
