Developed by Stormfront Studios and published by Vivendi Games, Eragon arrived on the Nintendo DS as an action-adventure game. It blends action-adventure and beat 'em up elements.

Stormfront Studios also made The Spiderwick Chronicles for the DS.

Eragon supports up to 2 players, including cooperative play, which makes it a strong pick for playing with a friend.

Pick it if…

  • you want to get lost in a long quest
  • you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)
  • you want a game to beat together with a friend
  • you've played the DS hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want a game you can finish in one short session

What playing Eragon is like

Action-adventures blend real-time combat with exploration, puzzles and item collection. You open up a larger world gradually as new tools let you reach places you couldn't before.

Tip for newcomers: Keep a mental (or paper) map of locked doors and unreachable ledges; most action-adventures expect you to come back once you find the right item.
