Archosaur Games released Dragon Blood: Slayers Academy, a free-to-play school ensemble RPG for iOS and Android, on June 5, 2026. The game is based on the Chinese fantasy novel series Dragon Raja, which has sold over 30 million copies worldwide. Players enroll at Cassell College, a school that secretly trains half-human, half-dragon hybrids called Dragon Bloods to fight the Dragon Kings. The main story exceeds 3 million characters of text and includes multi-branch what-if scenarios not found in the original novel. Battles are semi-auto turn-based, with player intervention limited to Alchemical Weapon cards that can shift the course of combat. An AI assistant named Norma can clear daily missions with a single button. A collaboration with the anime The Seven Deadly Sins begins June 19, adding SSR characters Elizabeth and Meliodas via a special gacha. The game also features a soccer-themed mini-game event called Passionate Pitch running from June 8 to July 26.
The game is the latest in the "DoraBura" series, following the 2020 smartphone title "Code: Dragon Blood" and the 2024 anime "Dragon Raja: The Blazing Dawn." Music is by Hiroyuki Sawano. The voice cast includes Yuusuke Kobayashi and Yui Ogura. The protagonist can be male or female, with a "Type Switching" system that changes both appearance and role (vanguard, midguard, rearguard).
SSR acquisition is generous: a 3% base rate, a guaranteed SSR within 40 pulls, a random SSR every 90 pulls, and three free SSRs from 21 days of cumulative login. Training carries over between characters, so swapping party members does not require re-leveling.
The Automaton article notes that the original "Dragon Raja" novel series has never been translated into Japanese, making the game the primary way for Japanese readers to experience the full story. The Denfaminicogamer piece highlights the character roster as unusually quirky for a school setting: a former alcoholic entrepreneur (Su Onki), a yakuza boss who was formerly an idol (Sakurai Nanami), a ramen-shop owner over 100 years old (Uesugi Koshi), a principal also over 100 (Anjou), and a professor with a round body (Guderian). The "Bonds" system grants stat bonuses when specific character combinations are in the party, including an "Educator" bond for teams of professor-type characters.
The soccer mini-game "Free Kick Showdown" lets players draw a line to aim, with speed and angle affecting the ball trajectory. The "Passionate Pitch" event runs June 8 to July 26.
