Mini Games & Puzzles – If you ever get tired of killing, you can instead kick back and relax! Go fishing or pick up a shovel and dig some holes into the ground, who knows what you may find? There is much to do in DFS aside of spilling blood!

Twisted Characters – In Dragon Fin Soup there are no lame stereotypical heroes. The game features fairy tale inspired characters each with their own deep flaws, witty humor, abilities, and motivations. The first tale begins with Red Robin, whose dark bloody past has come back to haunt her with a vengeance.

Unpredictable Weather & Day/Night Cycles – Each time you visit or revisit a location a new kind of weather will be picked randomly.  Day and night cycles gradually progress the more game turns pass. Beware of dangerous monsters rumored to hunt during specific times.
