Journeys of the Dragon Rider, a 3D action computer game by MistKeep Software, lets you take on the role of a dragon rider and experience high flying adventure as you defend your kingdom. Fly high above mountains, weave through valleys and go on many a journey as you battle enemy dragons and soldiers!

The levels consist of large landscapes and varied environments. There is also a variety of mission types, including large scale dragon battles, assisting your soldiers on the ground, escorting a princess, damaging castles and more.

Along with greatly improved graphics and other production qualities on the first game, you also now have full control over your dragon's movements, giving a much more realistic flight model. You can now perform maneuvers such as rolls, dives, loops, fast turns and more, which makes for extremely fast and fun dragon air battles. Enemy dragons roll and loop in all directions around you, and there are often many dragons assisting you too.

Advanced users can even try making their own levels, and packaging these up into a complete story to be shared. This requires modifying text files and may require third party commercial software for generating the landscapes, but even novice users can have fun making small changes to the existing levels and the story.
