02About Us

An independent studio built for action.

Lone Guardian Games Studio is an independent game developer focused on original action games, with distinctive characters, strong atmospheres and gameplay that stays with you.

We build our worlds from the ground up: every hero, every villain and every street corner starts with us. Our current project, BROKEN DRAGON, brings the energy of the classic arcade brawler to the neon-lit streets of 1975 Shanghai.

The lone guardian on the peak, under a blood-red moon, stands for what we want our games to be: focused, determined and built to last.
