Fans anticipating the new strategy game from Aeria Games didn't have long to wait; announced at the end of April and entering closed beta less than a month ago, Dragon Crusade hatched in record time, flying from unknown to launch in less than two months. Players itching to participate in large-scale warfare can now dive in and begin building kingdoms in the free-to-play browser-based MMO.

Dragon Crusade allows players to form alliances and customize superior hero units in an effort to dominate the lands. The game also offers questing, instances, and a gladiatorial arena where players can pit their heroes against others for rewards. As no download is required, players can sign up on the official site and jump right in to play.

Dragon Crusade
Want to build up an empire and govern with an iron fist (or a gentle hand)? Ready to obliterate rival kingdoms with an overwhelming army? Then Dragon Crusade might be right up your alley.

Dragon Crusade is a browser-based MMO strategy game from Aeria Games that's also free-to-play. Players have the opportunity to choose from six different playable races ranging from Dark Elves to Dwarves to the necromantic Azraen, each with its own unique buildings, troops, and abilities.

There are several features that allow players to forge alliances and allow them to share key resources, technology, and buildings. But if you prefer to die by the sword, you can send heroes into gladiatorial arena matches or dungeon runs to bring back loot.

The game is just entering closed beta, and you can register to participate. Those who do are eligible for unique items and custom gear. These events include challenges to produce the most resources, obtain the strongest equipment, and form one of the top five alliances. Even more prizes will be offered through surprise challenges that change daily!

For more information or to register for the beta, you can head to the official site.

Not sure exactly where dragons enter in to all this.
While years have gone by without many entries into the MMORTS genre, the list of contenders is slowly but steadily expanding. Add Dragon Crusade to the list; it's an upcoming free-to-play browser title just announced by Aeria Games. The game will feature six different races, each with its own strengths and weaknesses as well as a unique racial capital. The core of the game, however, isn't meant to simply be your choice of race; it's building an actual kingdom over multiple cities.

Kingdoms are meant to add an important strategic resource to the game. Players are responsible for the defense of their cities, forcing a balance between gaining new ground and protecting what's already there. Players will also be granted a variety of different heroes, mounts, and pets, all of which have special development paths to give player forces a unique flair. There's no word yet on when the game will go into general release, but potential players can register for the upcoming closed beta on the official site.
