All Dragon Age Games, Ranked

The Dragon Age series is one of the most beloved RPG franchises out there. Known for its deep lore, memorable companions, and tough choices, it has grown into a saga that RPG fans keep returning to. But not every entry shines the same way. Some are true classics, while others feel more like experiments or side projects. Here’s a list of all Dragon Age games ranked.

10. Dragon Age Journeys

We kick things off with Dragon Age Journeys, a browser-based Flash RPG. It was released just before Origins and was intended to give fans a taste of the world of Thedas. The game featured turn-based combat, some light exploration, and a story centered on fighting darkspawn. The sad part? It was never finished. Only the first chapter was released, so players never got the whole experience. Still, for its time, it was a fun little appetizer before the main series took off.

9. Heroes of Dragon Age

This mobile spin-off was more of a collectible battle game than a true RPG. You didn’t control characters directly. Instead, you collected figurines of heroes and villains from across the series and watched them fight in automated battles. It looked nice for a mobile game, but it lacked the choice-driven storytelling and dialogue that make Dragon Age what it is. Fun for quick sessions, but most fans moved on quickly.

8. Dragon Age Legends

Before mobile gaming exploded, Facebook games were everywhere, and Dragon Age Legends was one of them. Players built a castle, recruited allies, and fought darkspawn in short missions. It attempted to blend strategy with social play; you could invite friends to help, but it never felt as engaging as the main games. EA shut it down not long after release. A single-player version was later made available for download, but by then, most fans had shifted their focus to the larger console RPGs.

7. Dragon Age II: Legacy

Now we’re getting into the expansions. Legacy is one of the better add-ons for Dragon Age II. It gives Hawke a personal story tied to their father, exploring the family’s mysterious past. Players travel to a Grey Warden prison, battle powerful enemies, and face Corypheus for the first time. It also improved combat with new enemy types and smarter encounters, making it one of the more polished slices of Dragon Age II content.

6. Dragon Age II: Mark of the Assassin

This DLC took a lighter approach. Instead of big wars, it focused on a fun heist: infiltrating an Orlesian estate, sneaking past guards, solving puzzles, and stealing a jewel. It showed a different side of Thedas, with more banter and less doom and gloom. While it didn’t significantly alter the larger narrative, it remains one of the most enjoyable side adventures in the series.

5. Dragon Age: The Last Court

One of the most overlooked entries, The Last Court, was a text-based game released on the Dragon Age Keep website. You played as the ruler of a small Orlesian fiefdom, making tough decisions about faith, politics, and survival. The gameplay centered on reading, selecting options, and managing resources. It didn’t have flashy graphics or combat, but the writing was strong, and it showed just how deep the lore of Thedas could go. Sadly, it’s no longer available, but fans who tried it still talk about it.

4. Dragon Age: Origins Awakening

Awakening was the first significant expansion to Origins. Instead of ending after defeating the Archdemon, you became Warden-Commander and rebuilt the Grey Wardens. It introduced new companions, specializations, and a completely new storyline about intelligent darkspawn. At around 20 hours long, it felt like a mini-sequel rather than just DLC. The choices you made affected the fate of the region of Amaranthine, giving it that classic Dragon Age moral weight.

3. Dragon Age II

Now for the most debated entry. Dragon Age II came out just two years after Origins, and it showed. The game reused environments, combat felt repetitive, and some story sections felt rushed. But it also did something bold: it told a more personal story. Instead of saving the world from a Blight, you played as Hawke, a refugee who rose to power in the city of Kirkwall. Over 10 years, you made decisions that shaped politics, religion, and the future of mages and templars.

The companions were the highlight, Varric became a fan favorite, and characters like Anders, Merrill, and Isabela all brought drama and charm. It wasn’t perfect, but it had heart, and its story threads significantly shaped Inquisition.

2. Dragon Age: Origins

Now, this is where it all began. Origins gave RPG fans an epic fantasy with tough choices and multiple starting points. Whether you played a human noble, a mage, or a city elf, your origin shaped how people reacted to you. The story followed the Grey Wardens as they fought to stop a Blight. Along the way, you recruited memorable companions like Alistair, Morrigan, and Leliana. Of course, the choices were brutal; you could decide who lived, who died, and even who ruled Ferelden. Combat was tactical, and the dark fantasy tone set it apart from other RPGs of the time. Even though the graphics are dated today, the storytelling remains some of BioWare’s best work.

1. Dragon Age: Inquisition

At the top of the list is Inquisition. This was the biggest and most ambitious    Dragon Age, letting players lead the Inquisition to seal rifts and take down Corypheus. It balanced huge open areas with strong story missions, giving players plenty to explore without losing focus.

The companions made it shine. Characters like Cassandra, Solas, Iron Bull, and Dorian brought personality and great dialogue, while your choices shaped politics, romances, and the future of nations. Additionally, the DLCs pushed it even further. Trespasser wrapped the story with one of the best endings in the franchise and teased what comes next. With its stunning world, political drama, and memorable characters, Inquisition isn’t just the best Dragon Age; it’s one of the top RPGs of the last decade.
