  1. [R5] Dragon Mania Legends 4/5 · US The game is cool, the concept is interesting, but most of the dragons, in my opinion, are complete sh... well, you get it. Otherwise, it's fun 😀 · translated
  2. [R8] Dragon Mania Legends 5/5 · US My favorite game: I love to play this game I also used to play this game when I was little I still play this game when I found it again I love this game so much and I would recommend playing this game.

  3. [R11] Dragon Mania Legends 5/5 · US This is so fun!: It is a easy game. I played for a few days. I love playing this!
  4. [R23] Dragon Mania Legends 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
  5. [R1] Dragon Mania Legends 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
  6. [R6] Dragon Mania Legends 3/5 · US Can this bug be fixed somehow?! 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 that stupid map pops up again, and it's a loop. I'm upset. · translated
  7. [R9] Dragon Mania Legends 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
  8. [R12] Dragon Mania Legends 3/5 · US a good game, but with some mistakes: After the update, you won't be able to get the pink dragon card by completing daily tasks or as a reward, and you won't be able to complete other tasks or receive rewards. The game freezes and doesn't work, so I have to restart it. However, the game is still great! Please help me fix it.
  9. [R4] Dragon Mania Legends 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
  10. [R10] Dragon Mania Legends 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 the ad and return to the game wouldn't appear at the end. It's impossible to play. The developers crammed in so many purchases and ads that there's no game left; the greed is astounding. And now these ads can't even be turned off. · translated
  11. [R19] Dragon Mania Legends 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!
  12. [R20] Dragon Mania Legends 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
  13. [R16] Dragon Mania Legends 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
  14. [R37] Dragon Mania Legends 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.
  15. [R85] Merge Dragons! 1/5 · US No support lots of bugs: They give you impossible tasks and don’t respond to service queries or bug fixes. Played this game for years and this review won’t change until the bugs stop
  16. [R64] Merge Dragons! 1/5 · US Takes too long: It takes too long to get enough dragons to clear boards unless you pay for boosters or egg nests
  17. [R66] Merge Dragons! 3/5 · US Cool game but wants your money: I like this game a lot and it’s very addictive, but they try to make you use gems as much as possible, and the main way to get gems is to buy them. So basically they try to make it as tempting as possible to spend money on the game. But if your weary of that fact, you can still enjoy the game without spending any money
  18. [R68] Merge Dragons! 5/5 · US Spare time entertainment at its finest: Progress without spending real money, or spend a little here and there to move a little quicker, equal enjoyment.
  19. [R70] Merge Dragons! 1/5 · US Too little space and too expensive: My base camp is overflowing with items and I can barely get enough space to add more items plus half the things cost money
  20. [R13] Dragon Mania Legends 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.
