Heroes of Mount Dragon Launches on Switch, PS5 & Epic Games: Transform into a Dragon and Brawl in Style

Quebec-based indie studio RuniQ, founded by veterans behind Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled, Skylanders, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, and Call of Duty, has officially brought their mythical co-op brawler Heroes of Mount Dragon to new platforms. Starting today, the game is available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and the Epic Games Store, with an Xbox Series X|S release in development and coming soon. The game originally debuted on Steam earlier this year to a positive reception.

If you’ve been looking for a side-scrolling beat-em-up that blends intense combo-based combat, dragon transformations, and multiplayer madness, your next obsession may have just arrived.

Become a Dragon-Soul and Rule the Arena

Set in the high-fantasy world of Üna, Heroes of Mount Dragon casts players as legendary fighters called Dragon-Souls — warriors who bond with ancient dragon eggs to unlock transformative power mid-battle.

Each hero in the game comes with a distinct fighting style, but the real twist is the ability to transform into a massive dragon, altering your moveset and unleashing fiery finishers that change the tide of battle.

What makes it unique?

• Mid-fight Dragon Transformations
• Stylish combos, air juggles, and team synergy
• Magic-based power-ups and curses that shift the flow of combat

These aren’t just gimmicks. The dragon form is central to your strategy, allowing skilled players to time their transformations for momentum shifts, area control, or explosive boss takedowns.

Built for Couch Co-op and Online Mayhem

At its core, Heroes of Mount Dragon is about shared chaos and spectacle. The game supports up to four players in local or online multiplayer, whether you’re:

• Taking on giant story-driven boss fights
• Competing in head-to-head arena battles
• Chaining combos together for maximum style points

Dynamic environments and stage-specific mechanics mean no two battles are quite the same. One stage might throw elemental hazards at you, while another may introduce shifting terrain that forces new strategies.

Even better? Every playable hero feels different. At launch, there are six unique characters, with two more joining the fight in late October, adding more variety and helping keep the competitive meta fresh.

Replayability, Strategy, and Style

Beyond the flashy visuals and fluid gameplay, Heroes of Mount Dragon thrives on its depth and complexity. Players can:

• Master air juggle chains and combo transitions
• Experiment with curse modifiers that enhance or hinder their powers
• Develop team strategies using both human and dragon forms

The transformation mechanic itself isn't just cosmetic — it’s core to the game’s identity. The seamless blend of human finesse and draconic brute force offers a duality rarely seen in brawlers.

If you're a fan of titles like Castle Crashers, Streets of Rage 4, or Dragon Ball FighterZ, this one’s worth a look — and it brings its own fresh twist to the genre.

Heroes of Mount Dragon is available today on:

Whether you’re brawling solo or syncing up with friends around the world, accessibility and inclusivity are clearly a priority for RuniQ.
