Just beat and played the game. The Dragons get a little rough near the end, but seeing how close the boss is, it's understandable. I really liked this game, and for a first 3D game? It's swell.
Yeah, the last stretch is perhaps a bit too much.
But between you and I, if we keep this a secret, if you ever feel like playing the game again for any reason. Try rushing past the enemies in the last big room with the lake in the middle. There's no need to fight them, unless you enjoy kissing the dragon snoot.
