  1. [R7] DRAGON BALL LEGENDS 1/5 · US Hate pvp: Bru this game is great if ur a dragon ball fan but PvP is so annoying. PvP is filled with pay to win players that have maxed out everything that u can only get by either grinding the game for 20hrs a day or spending $100 to get. All the PvP kids just infinite combo u so u can’t move or do any attacks until they kill u and your whole team. PvP needs to have some kind of cool down on combo

  9. [R2] DRAGON BALL LEGENDS 4/5 · US The optimization: Dear Tami, I have an IPhone 12 Pro and have never EVER faced this issue in the past. During PVP sessions I randomly get booted out the game.

  20. [R102] Dragon City 3/5 · GB Good but..: It was a amazing game until they added ads every 30 seconds. I was fine with the optional ads but they added ads every time I pressed a button I need those optional ads back, and not a ad every 30 secs Less ads please
  21. [R108] Dragon City 3/5 · GB A great game, spoilt by profiteering: Unfortunately, this issue isn’t unique to this game, but, whilst ads and special offers are prominent, Dragon City is a wholly playable game. Before I begin speaking about the game itself, I’d like to highlight the ads. Since last year, pop-ups have existed in the game, and many ads are either false advertising or inappropriate for its target audience (again,
