Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter, the fifth installment in the series, is an intriguing mix of real-time combat and turn-based combat combined with a unique replay system that allows users to replay the title using accumulated items, equipment and skills. The project, created against the backdrop of a post-apocalyptic underground setting, tells the story of how Ryu, the Sheldar ranger, stumbles upon a mysterious incident while patrolling the territory of a biochemical company. Ryu's altruism manifests itself when he rescues Nina, a girl subjected to the company's experiments, and takes it upon himself to help her get to the surface.

The storyline unfolds smoothly, and Ryu's journey involves other interesting characters such as Bosch, a former friend turned rival, and Lin, a spirited resistance fighter. It is noteworthy that an interesting twist appears in the title – Ryu gains the ability to turn into a dragon. However, this comes at a cost: the dragon's strength is measured by the D-meter. Innovative risk-reward mechanics – the D-meter reaching 100 percent leads to the title, and the user has to restart the game from the last save point. The fusion of sci-fi motifs with RPG elements gives Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter a special flavor in the gaming world. The intricate plot and dynamic characters promote immersion, making the underground setting and its challenges even more fun.
