Divinity was a surprise to me, especially because i had no track of it. When the review proposal came to me, the trailer alone was enough to convince me to get down to work, and the game met my expectations without a doubt. Do you like RTS Games? Then give it a chance.
Divinity: Dragon Commander is a game that seems like a recipe for failure, bringing in too many genres and ideas to the table. Seems like it, but it is not. Dragon Commander skilfully mixes everything in just the right way that the game borne of it is a wonder to behold. Not only has it been made in a way that it works, it’s also simple to boot. No poring over endless amount of information, Dragon Commander delivers everything to you concisely without excess. Most importantly of all, you’re a god-damn dragon with a jetpack!
Divinity: Dragon Commander is set in the same world as Divinity 1 & 2. Both previous instalments were RPG games that focused on either becoming a dragon or helping rid the world of evil.
Dragon Commander takes on the world from a different perspective, giving a more leadership approach to the player with the duties of interacting with governments and fighting wars on several fronts. Trust me when I say, the tutorial at the start of the campaign is but a walk in the mark compared to what you face later on.

I feel that there's less strategy in the game and more throw your units into the enemy like what they're doing to you and you make up the extra dps needed with your dragon.
It's lacking in the strategy department. Your dragon is basically an overpowered experimental unit (SupComFA) compared to everything else.
