Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is an action-packed RPG game developed by Capcom for Play Station 4. Set in a medieval world filled with magic, the game offers a thrilling experience to players. The game begins with a dragon attacking the village where the main character lives. The player-controlled character becomes a victim of the dragon and the dragon takes his heart and flies away, leaving the player to embark on a quest to uncover the dragon's mysteries and the reason behind the dragon's need for a human heart.

The game offers an open world experience, allowing players to explore the game's vast world from the beginning of the game. Players can choose their character class and gender, and the game features a unique system of partners who will join the main character as the game progresses. The game has often been compared to The Elder Scrolls series in terms of its size and details, and to Devil May Cry for its dynamic battle system.
