DragonSword : Awakening is available on PC via Steam as a buy-to-play package, dropping the free-to-play and gacha mechanics found in previous iterations. If you're picking up the game or looking for help with starting out, here is everything you need to know about pricing, claiming DLC, and getting past early progression hurdles.

Quick Overview

  1. Check the Price: The game costs $29.99 USD on Steam with regional pricing support.
  2. Unlock Characters: All 19 launch characters are earned through gameplay, not gacha pulls.
  3. Claim DLC Items: Navigate the Main Menu's Codex for familiars and the Heroes menu for costumes.
  4. Clear Blocked Paths: Stand by obstacles like tree branches, press the interact button, and push forward.

Pricing and Character Unlocks

DragonSword : Awakening has a base price of $29.99 USD on Steam, with regional pricing following Steam's purchasing power parity conversion. Unlike previous service versions, this release features a Buy-to-Play (B2P) model. There is no gacha system; purchasing the game grants you access to all 19 playable characters at launch through story progression.

Note that this is a single-player, package-style game with online functionality removed. There is no data linkage with previous service versions.

How to Obtain DLC Items

If you have purchased downloadable content, you will need to manually claim your items in-game through the menu systems:

  • Familiars: Navigate to Main Menu → Codex → Familiar → (Purchased Familiar).
  • Costumes: Navigate to Main Menu → Heroes → (Character of Purchased Costume) → Costume.

Tutorial Progression: Clearing the Blocked Path

Early in the tutorial, players frequently encounter a tree blocking the path. To get past this section:

  • Stand directly in front of the tree.
  • Press the Interact button (F on keyboard, Y on Xbox Controller).
  • Move your character forward (W on keyboard, Left Stick forward on Xbox Controller) to push the tree away.

Platform Availability

The game is currently available exclusively on PC via Steam. Console versions for Nintendo and PlayStation are in preparation, though platform details and release timing have not yet been finalized. A mobile version is not available.
