  • story
    79 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in Dragon Saga is often criticized for being repetitive and lacking depth, with many players feeling that the quests serve merely as filler rather than contributing to a compelling narrative. While some appreciate the cute characters and engaging gameplay, they note that the storyline can feel tedious, especially after level 20, where quests become a grind. Overall, the game offers a mix of main and side quests, but many players find the storytelling uninspired and the questing experience frustrating due to poor optimization and unclear objectives.

    • “A great and cute game with a good storyline, gameplay, and graphics.”
    • “There is even lore within questing, and the quests themselves are not all that bad!”
    • “I love this game; the gameplay's good, the story is pretty compelling, and the character customization is simple enough to understand but complex enough to not seem boring.”
    • “The quests are boring as hell and super repetitive.”
    • “So either party up or rely on your gear, which you have to constantly farm mission map end rewards or dungeons for something worth equipping, which in order to farm you must get through chained questlines so you're aware of the game's 'storyline' that's really nothing more than words to occupy the dialogue box after level 20.”
    • “It feels like the story takes forever to progress, just because some quests take you multiple times through the same dungeon.”
  • gameplay

    The gameplay of Dragon Saga is a mixed bag, with some players praising its engaging mechanics and fun combat, particularly the unique chain combo system, while others criticize it for being repetitive and plagued by bugs. Many reviews highlight the game's grindy nature and lack of innovation, leading to a monotonous experience, especially in solo play.

    • “Like a dragon's breath setting your pants on fire, Dragon Saga delivers a scorching gameplay experience.”
    • “One of the game's standout features is the unique 'chain combo system.' This dynamic combat mechanic not only keeps the gameplay fresh but also ensures that players are constantly engaged.”
    • “If you enjoy very active hack and slash gameplay in an MMORPG setting, this game will provide you countless hours of just that.”
    • “The gameplay loop is monotonous, as the developers failed to innovate.”

  • graphics
    52 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the cute, colorful, and nostalgic 2D art style, while others criticize the visuals as outdated and lacking depth compared to modern MMORPGs.

    • “This game comes with a really fun and fast combat system, amazing graphics, and even the skill animations are just breathtaking.”
    • “Seriously dated graphics in this 15-year-old cash grab accompany a weak and shallow 2D planar 'MMO' (with, unsurprisingly, no players).”
    • “The visuals, while not bad, are outdated and unlikely to attract new players.”
    • “Add to this the game's lackluster graphics, nearly absent storyline, and godawful translations, and this is probably the worst 'MMO' offering I've ever had the misfortune of installing.”
  • grinding
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is widely regarded as grind-heavy, especially for free-to-play players, with many tasks requiring extensive farming of dungeons and monsters. While some players find enjoyment in the grind and appreciate the engaging combat and community aspects, others criticize the pay-to-win elements and tedious mechanics that can make progression feel overwhelming. Overall, it appeals to those who enjoy grinding in MMORPGs, but may deter players looking for a more casual experience.

    • “It is a very grindy game for a free-to-play player, but if you are a pay-to-play, everything else is easy. Just grind the levels.”
    • “All you have to do is grind a dungeon for about 10,000 times! Or maybe buy a shortcut for tons of real money.”
    • “End game is just grinding a few dungeons over and over again.”

    • “Gravity Games always gives half-hearted effort in their games and servers as long as they can profit from in-game purchases.”
    • “Seriously dated graphics in this 15-year-old cash grab accompany a weak and shallow 2D planar 'MMO' (with, unsurprisingly, no players).”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is notably poor, with players experiencing frame rate drops in towns and unstable servers that hinder login attempts. Additionally, localization issues, including poorly translated texts and random NPC dialogues, further detract from the overall experience.

    • “The game is not perfectly optimized; you can lose some FPS while in town.”
    • “It's very poorly optimized. Localization is terrible with random Japanese-speaking NPCs, weirdly translated texts, unclear quest objects, and so on. The list is huge. Servers are unstable, and I still haven't been able to find out where they are located. You're lucky if you're even able to log in.”
