Jake Long is an average Asian boy from New York, with a secret: he is the American Dragon, and can transform at will into a powerful dragon to protect the magical creatures of America. Leprechauns, Unicorns, Mermaids: all of these creatures (and more) are real, but living in hiding, away from public view. It's up to the American Dragon to protect them from the Huntsclan, a band of evildoers who have hunted dragonkind and magical creatures for generations.
Rise of the Huntsclan! is an action-adventure game starring Disney's American Dragon: Jake Long , where players control Jake as he battles evil doers such as trolls, imps, harpies and other mischievous creatures. He can also use his skateboard to travel more quickly by holding the R button. By collecting blue orbs, Jake can build up his "focus meter" which allows him to briefly transform into the American Dragon, destroying his foes with powerful fire attacks and flaming breath.
The game features special abilities from Jake's friends, Fu Dog, Trixie and Spud, as well as Grampa. Players can also select an ability at the end of each level to upgrade, such as how long the transformation lasts, how powerful the various attacks are, or Jake's speed.
