Breath of Fire IV makes a triumphant return to PC, 25 years after its initial release.
Originally developed by Capcom, this beloved role-playing game debuted on the PlayStation in Japan and North America in 2000, followed by a European release a year later. A PC version was subsequently launched in Europe and Japan in 2003.
The story follows a young man named Ryu (distinct from Capcom's other iconic character) who possesses the ability to transform into a dragon. He joins forces with a band of warriors to stop a power-hungry emperor from unleashing global destruction.
As a key component of its ongoing Preservation Program, GOG has fully optimized Breath of Fire IV for modern computers and is now offering it DRM-free on their platform.
