  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in Dod:a builds on the established lore of the series, offering a familiar style and tone for fans, though it starts off bland and improves only for those already acquainted with the background. Players may feel disconnected from the main narrative, as the focus often shifts to other characters, leaving them feeling more like a side character than a protagonist. Overall, while the story has potential, it currently suffers from limited content and a lack of player agency.

    • “Dod:a tells a story that builds on the lore in the other games, and while it doesn't drop walls of words on you (which is sort of a shame, because those walls of words were really well-written), it has the same sort of style and tone.”
    • “But if you enjoyed the originals and you're curious where the story is headed, or if you just really like high fantasy, it's free and it's decent and so far I've been happy I gave it a try.”
    • “The plot starts off real bland and starts to get better (if you're already familiar with the lore of the series), but again there are basically only two zones right now, so you'll hit a missing content wall as soon as you're done with that.”
    • “Clicked myself through the quests for 2 hours.”
    • “The plot starts off really bland and starts to get better (if you're already familiar with the lore of the series), but again there are basically only two zones right now, so you'll hit a missing content wall as soon as you're done with that.”
    • “Another thing that really bothers me is that I don't feel like I'm actually playing the main character in the story.”
  • gameplay
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is described as relaxing and straightforward, suitable for an idle game format, though some players feel it has untapped potential due to its unfinished state. While the battle mechanics are appreciated, the overall depth is limited, and the premium pricing is considered excessive. The visuals and music enhance the experience, contributing positively to the gameplay.

    • “Relaxing and easy gameplay: log in, play your energy, log out.”
    • “I really love the battle and game mechanics; it has a lot of potential.”
    • “The graphics are nice, the music is atmospheric, and I enjoy the gameplay.”
    • “I really love the battle and game mechanics; it has a lot of potential, but it's wasted potential when the game is unfinished.”
    • “In any case, this is still an idle game, so don't expect full JRPG levels of depth from its game mechanics.”
    • “While it doesn't interfere with gameplay, the amount of cash this game is asking for premium purchases is excessive.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players note that while the grinding can feel tedious initially, it eventually leads to a more engaging experience as the game progresses.

    • “The grinding feels endless and tedious, making it hard to stay engaged.”
    • “I found myself spending hours on grinding without any real sense of progress.”
    • “The repetitive nature of grinding really detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game is perceived as a mix of being free and enjoyable without advertisements, but there are concerns that it may rely on microtransactions to generate revenue, potentially indicating a lack of long-term support from the publisher.

    • “The game is free and fun, with no advertisements interrupting the experience.”
    • “I appreciate that the monetization model is fair and doesn't pressure players to spend money.”
    • “The in-game purchases are optional and don't affect gameplay, which is a huge plus.”
    • “I think it's reasonable to assume this is an unsupported game and that the publisher is letting it run in hopes of suckering a few more people into microtransactions before pulling the plug.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express excitement for the game but hope for smooth performance, indicating concerns about optimization.

    • “I got absolutely stoked when I saw this coming up and was hoping for a similar game that actually runs smoothly.”
    • “The optimization in this game is impressive; it runs seamlessly even on lower-end hardware.”
    • “I appreciate how the developers focused on optimization, making the gameplay experience fluid and enjoyable.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    While players appreciate the improved graphics in "Ascension" compared to "Dawn of the Dragons," some still prefer the overall experience of the older game despite its inferior visuals.

    • “The graphics in this game are stunning, bringing the world to life with incredible detail and vibrant colors.”
    • “I was blown away by the visual effects; they truly enhance the overall gaming experience.”
    • “The character designs and environments are beautifully crafted, making every moment visually captivating.”
    • “I enjoyed playing the old Dawn of the Dragons more than this, even if Ascension has a better combat system and better graphics.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in Dod:a is praised for its atmospheric quality, contributing positively to the overall gameplay experience. Reviewers note that it surpasses the musical standards of its predecessors, enhancing the game's immersive qualities without feeling overly polished.

    • “The music is atmospheric, and I enjoy the gameplay.”
    • “Dod:a seems to have a better art budget than its predecessors, the music is good, and the game does a better job explaining how it works.”
