The Symposium Dragon
Released
About the game
The Symposium Dragon is a painterly vertical bullet-hell where philosophy is the battlefield. Pilot four elemental dragons across 13 hand-painted stages, dodge with a pinpoint hitbox, and duel 13 bosses — from the Kraken to the philosophers of Purgatory. Auto-fire in; master the dodge.
Original Steam description
Fly into a symposium of fire.
The Symposium Dragon is a painterly vertical shoot-'em-up. Shooting is automatic — your art is the dodge. Your true hitbox is a tiny glowing core, so you can thread walls of bullets that look impossible.
Four dragons, four philosophies of fire
Ignis pierces. Aquaris scatters. Ventus storms. And Diotima — unlocked beyond the ending — fires the Ideal itself. Evolve your weapon, call homing and shields, and unleash screen-clearing specials.
13 stages, 13 bosses, 3 phases each
From sunlit seas and volcanic wastes to a frozen plain and a storm sky — then into Purgatory, where the bosses are ideas: the Cynic, the Quibbler, the Demagogue, spoken over Classical Latin narration.
For newcomers and masters alike
Six difficulties from Novice to Inferno+, a Boss Rush mode, no-hit bonuses, and permanent upgrades. Easy to start, endless to master.
Hand-painted worlds
Layered parallax stages, a full original soundtrack, and 14 languages.
