The core feedback loop in this game is raising a dragon and using it to fight in the arena to earn money until it is too old and retires. Then you raise another dragon which will be stronger with the new weapons and items you can buy it from your previous run. Rinse and repeat until you're the dragon champion or whatever and try to collect them all along the way. The mechanics of the combat are far more in depth. Each type of dragon has its own appearance and elements it can be born with. Certain elements are weak to others. You fight in an arena with 3 range bands you move between and only certain attacks will hit at certain distances. You can shoot an elemental super attack but your opponent can use their shield to reflect it back at you and vice versa. They could have more or fewer specials depending on their magic stat and trying to anticipate your enemies next move while positioning yourself for victory is tense and a lot of fun. This is a great game that got swept under the rug due to other major titles outshining it and an utter lack of advertisement. It's also pretty hard to come by. If you see a copy in a good condition for $35-50 you're paying in what I would consider the standard range.Read full review

I have played this game a few years ago, and was slightly disappointed by it. In the game, Time increases in three-hour segments.Going to most places on the map takes three hours, no matter what you do there.A battle at the Battle Arena takes three hours. Since each tournament is made up of three battles, you will be there for nine hours. Visiting your apartment takes up no time unless you choose to rest. The longest a dragon can live is about 30 years (each day that passes in game is considered 1 year). So you have 30 days to get your dragon to the top. If you are lucky, you will breed a super-"dragon" who will not age when it hits the adult catagory. I had gotten one and its final form looked like a anthrpomorphic, spikey dragon dude. To "breed" dragons, you fill out a phrase with key words, and those key words might give your baby a stat boost. For Example: The Egg is crying. This phrase will give your baby extra wisdom upon birth. When the baby is ready to grow into its adult form (about 7 days after birth), it cocoons itself for a day, which gives you time to go to the junkyard and buy stuff. The adult will cocoon around 20 days, and the old form will live about 5 days after emerging from its cocoon. If you decide to play this game, don't waste your time training your baby, send it into the arena fights as soon as it is born. They gain stats after every battle, so its all good. They don't need rest, even though the game says they do. Now on the fighting. you buy your dragon a weapon and shield from the store in town. Sometimes you can get a good item from the junkyard. The Ranks in the arena are E D C B & A. The battles are Rock/Paper/Scissor games: You have these battle options: Defend, Special & Attack . Special beats Attack, Attack beats Defend, Defend beats Special. I personally think the game cheats most of the time. I waited until the computer chose its move before i did. Which seemed to work. I had baby dragons in the B Rank arena fights, which was very hard to do. It was kinda funny watching my baby dragon beat up a grown dragon with more hit points then mine. Some of the "dragons" look like tombstones and half-cat/seal creatures (which are the spirit dragons), there are giant wasps with hairdryers and cannons for an abdomen. And some reminded me of pressure cookers... The only down side of the game was how long the dragons lived. Other then that, the graphics are good for the PS1, and you can have 2 player battles. You can use a pregenerated dragon from a memory card, which i don't advise because they are not as good as your trained dragon, or you can use a dragon that you raised.Read full review
DRAGON SEEDS brings the challenges of raising a young dragon to the PlayStation. Choose from six different creatures to raise: Winged, Saurian, Crustacean, Wasp, Beetle, and Natura. For an extra choice, creatures can be created from other save file on your memory card. After deciding, train the creature to build its strength and power. When it has the power, enter tournaments, which use the turn-based battle system, and win prize money, which can be used to buy more rigorous training and new weapons for the combatant. However, should your dragon die at any time, the game is over and you will have to start from scratch. For those who don't want to expend the energy to raise a beast, use the instant action mode to challenge friends to a battle. Patience and love will breed success in DRAGON SEEDS.Read full review
