Recurring themes

Ads negative
Reviewers overwhelmingly complain about the excessive number of forced, unskippable, and intrusive ads that pop up frequently, often after every click or even upon opening the game, making it unplayable. Some ads also glitch, preventing rewards or requiring app restarts. This contradicts the developer's notes, which focus on new content rather than addressing user experience issues.R3R7R11R22
Bugs & Freezes negative
Many recent reviews report critical bugs, particularly after the latest update, where the game freezes when trying to collect daily rewards or dragon fragments. This prevents players from progressing and forces them to restart the app, often repeatedly. Other bugs include UI elements becoming unresponsive and connection issues leading to lost progress.R13R20R32R35
Monetization & P2W negative
Players feel the game is too focused on in-app purchases and pay-to-win mechanics. Many items, progression steps, and even basic currency are expensive, with prices like $99.99 for 3,800 gems. Long wait times for breeding and hatching dragons also push users towards spending money to speed things up.R3R14R54R62
Account Issues negative
Several users report losing years of progress or their entire accounts, especially after logging in via Facebook, which is no longer supported. There are also complaints about inability to transfer game data to new devices and unresponsive support when trying to recover lost accounts.R2R16R48R55
Nostalgia & Core Gameplay positive
Despite the issues, many players express a strong fondness for the game, often having played it since childhood. They appreciate the dragon collecting, breeding, battle mechanics, and overall art style. This nostalgia is a significant factor in why players return, even when frustrated by current problems.R6R8R12R15
Misleading Ads negative
A recurring complaint is that the game's advertisements show features, such as using a phone camera to find dragons in real-world objects (AR functionality), that are not actually present in the game. This leads to disappointment and a feeling of being misled by new players.R59R75R124R174

Who it's for

This game is for players who enjoy dragon collecting, breeding, and battling games, especially those with a nostalgic connection to Dragon Mania Legends. It might appeal to those who don't mind frequent ads or are willing to spend money to bypass wait times and progress faster. It is NOT for players who are easily frustrated by constant ads, game-breaking bugs, or poor customer support, nor for those expecting AR features advertised.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads and critical bugs introduced in recent updates. While the lifetime rating is high, the recent sentiment indicates a significant decline in user satisfaction. The developer's notes mention new content but do not address the widespread complaints about ads or bugs, which are central to recent negative feedback.

  3. [R12] 5/5 · US My favorite game with few issues: I won't lie this is a very good game, there are lots of dragons you can collect and the style and animations are cute. There are just a few things I would like to address. Apex dragon assault: the boss battles right before you get to triberus- the levels are way too high for it to be possible to beat. The highest level dragon I have with the required element is l

  11. [R31] 5/5 · US FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🖤🩶🤍🤎: Really fun game 🤩 especially with the new elemental sigels
  12. [R3] 1/5 · US Insane Ads: This game was fun years ago, but redownloading it was sad. The amount of ads is like Times Square. Click into something, ad. Click out of something, ad. The fight map scene animation has an ad square in the middle of it. The home islands have ads all over them. The store now has more icons to buy with real money than game money. You have to scroll past all of it to get to the in-game
  13. [R7] 1/5 · US Ads won't turn off, restarting doesn't help: At some point, ads started playing with almost every click, and then the 'x' to close them and return to the game wouldn't appear. It's impossible to play; the developers have crammed in so many purchases and ads that there's no game left. Their greed is astounding. And now, the ads can't even be turned off. · translated
  14. [R11] 4/5 · US Good game but riddled with ads: The game at its core is a very good game with a lot of cool dragons but the sad part of the game is that there are way to many ads that ruin the experience
  15. [R22] 1/5 · US REMOVE ADS: Are you for real developers? Any move will summon ad for at least 1 minute,I can’t play the game! You already have ad for skipping 30 minutes at incubator,that’s enough!
  16. [R13] 1/5 · US UI glitch: The game UI gets randomly numb where u cant tap anything and have to restart, i got a prompt when opening the game to open sigils tab and then after tapping off it couldn't tap anything else the i uninstalled and reinstalled and it made it worse the game goes numb when i open it asking for a download and i cant tap anything.
  17. [R32] 3/5 · US Can this bug be fixed?!: After I received a dragon fragment as a reward, nothing can be clicked, absolutely nothing. I exit, re-enter the game, click on the completed tasks again, and this stupid map pops up again, and it's a loop. I'm upset. · translated
  18. [R35] 3/5 · US Make a new update: With the last update, the application just stopped working properly, when you take the reward for performing daily rewards, the game freezes
  19. [R36] 5/5 · US Glitch: Love the game but there is a glitch in the daily rewards that wasn’t there before once I click the daily reward it is stuck on that screen and I can’t get out of it. It started happening after I updated the app. Please fix so I can continue collecting the rest of my daily rewards
  20. [R2] 2/5 · US Terrible game support: Love the game played since I was 12 but my account was linked through Facebook so I have no way of retaining my old account, contacted support and still have heard nothing after weeks of waiting
  21. [R17] 1/5 · US Scammed?: I am a level like 19 and was on a guest account I spent 99 diamonds on a chance to breed a dragon with mine and they took it but I’m not even leveled high enough so I legit got 3 days and can’t use it I tried to get help and they wouldn’t do anything
  22. [R40] 1/5 · US Technical Difficulties: I’m having issues with the excerpt for claiming the daily rewards. When I try to claim a dragon shard, the screen freezes and I can’t do nothing but to exit the game. Can you guys help me? I tried contacting the support page, but they did nothing.
  23. [R55] 1/5 · US Lost years of progress, no idea why: I had been playing this game since I was a kid and always used Game Center to log in, I took a long break from it and when I came back, which nothing had changed and I had played it on this exact device before, it gave me the tutorial which i was confused about and figured I just needed to log in with Game Center in the setting or something, just to find out af
  24. [R14] 4/5 · US Good, but…: It’s a good game for the most part. Just so many things you have to spend money on, and not cheap either 99.99$ for 3,800 gems!!!!. Also, there’s a good amount of adds.
  25. [R54] 1/5 · US Great concept ruined by Greed: In this game you can only progress whenn when buying in shop perks or dragons everything is expensive in the shop for very little progression and benefits in game the wait times are excessively long and the good dragons are always bought lowering the overall experience as to progress you have to buy from theyre shop
  26. [R62] 2/5 · US DONATE: Less donation options and it will be good, otherwise it's impossible to play... · translated
  27. [R59] 5/5 · US This is good but one problem: I like this a lot, but they should really make it so you can find dragons with your surroundings like if you scan something you might find a dragon like in the pictures
  28. [R75] 4/5 · US Disappointed and surprised: AWSOME! But it wouldn’t let me take a picture of something to get that kind of dragon!
  29. [R124] 3/5 · US How??: How do u access the camera to look for dragons in your house it shows that in pictures I only got the game for that so please show me how or fix it. It may be bugged idk just please fix this
  30. [R174] 3/5 · US I can’t do something but if I just don’t know how I’m sorry: I keep seeing ads of people taking pictures of food and making them into dragons that is why I got this game and I can’t take pictures of if I can and just don’t know how I’m sorry about the inconvenience but it’s a good game whatever I just want to know how to take pictures that’s all
  31. [R20] 5/5 · US Minor technical problem: Every time I try to do the time part of dragon oracle, I lose connection afterwards. Could you please fix it?
  32. [R26] 3/5 · US It's okay: It's just really annoying sometimes when I can't log in on the first try and have to wait a bit. Also, a lot of money is needed. · translated
  33. [R49] 1/5 · US NO: Can’t even get in the game just keeps saying servers are down all these reviews are fake.
  34. [R50] 1/5 · US It suck: Its buggy and slow and the HUD is messy and its riddled with ads the perfect combination for garbage and what sucks the most is that it has potential to be a good game if the developers weren’t so greedy
  35. [R48] 5/5 · US Is so awesome: Very fun lost my old account 😢 but already am better so good job on the game😁😁😁😁😁
  36. [R15] 5/5 · US Very cool: A very wonderful game, I love it and have been playing it for five years. I recommend it to everyone. · translated
  37. [R23] 1/5 · US RUINED BY ADS: i started playing this recently after remembering this game from my childhood but i found that it was completely plagued by ads. these ads appeared out of nowhere and i couldn’t even close them unless i exited and closed the tab of the app (which restarted the game from the loading screen when i reopened it). at first this was just annoying but i continued playing because the game w
  38. [R52] 1/5 · US obnoxious ads: I used to play this game as a kid and i absolutely loved it. i got it again now after over 10 years and oh my GOD i cannot do a damn thing without monopoly GO or super sort acting as a virus in the forms of ADS! I hate all these ADs! I log onto it and immediately as soon as the game loads I get an AD! I try to hatch an egg and I get an AD! I try to complete construction and I get an
  39. [R56] 1/5 · US Lost account because of developers: The developers removed Facebook login access, so my account was lost. The game is trash. · translated
  40. [R95] 1/5 · US Traitors: My account wasn't super advanced, but I put a lot of effort into it. I had a dragon with an exclusive element. Then I changed phones and found my account banned, with no reason given. Well, thanks. · translated
