  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. [R6] Dragon Mania Legends 3/5 · US Can this bug be fixed somehow?!: After I received a dragon fragment as a reward, nothing clicks, 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
  6. [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
  7. [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.
  8. [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.
  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 don'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. [R15] Dragon Mania Legends 3/5 · US These ads: If you’re going to push the players to watch these ads make sure the reward actually loads. No one wants to watch 10 videos as it if but it’s extremely frustrating when you watch OVER 10 ads because some of them didn’t load as a count.
  12. [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!
  13. [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
  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. [R105] Monster Legends 1/5 · GB Capitalist Pigs: Discord server is full of racists and homophobes and people doing/saying illegal things with their moderators doing nothing about it, the devs lie and use ai slop saying they will listen to our feedback yet never do our feedback is ignored and the games in shambles impossible for f2ps and very overpriced for p2ws do not play this game
  16. [R26] Dragon Mania Legends 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.
  17. [R33] Dragon Mania Legends 3/5 · US Absurd amount of ads: I really love this game but there are too many ads. It seems anything I do leads me to an ad. When I played this as a kid the app was less money hungry, sad to see
  18. [R67] Monster Legends 1/5 · US pay to win: can’t even enjoy the game without spending money
  19. [R22] Dragon Mania Legends 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
