Dragon Slayer is a series by [[Falcom]]. It is actually made of games whose plots and settings are unrelated. The main link between the various games is the main author, '''Yoshio Kiya'''.
The earliest titles are considered some of the earliest Japanese role-playing games. Actually, they lack any form of dialogue or plot, therefore they would rather belong to the American/computer RPG genre (focused on overabundant character attributes and dungeon exploration).

The series currently counts 22 games. Only seven games were released outside Japan, but actually twelve titles are available in English today. The following table summarizes which games are available in English.
