The gameplay is characterized as straightforward and simple, appealing to those who prefer an idle experience with minimal engagement. However, many users criticize it for being overly simplistic, lacking depth, and relying heavily on luck, leading to a repetitive and grind-heavy experience. While some appreciate the cute animations and easy mechanics, the overall consensus suggests that the gameplay feels shallow and unbalanced, particularly in competitive modes.
“Artwork is nice, gameplay straightforward and simple, and easy to advance without the need to spend money.”
“I love the gameplay style, layout of screen menus/buttons, dragon animation/interaction, etc. from DV & DV2.”
“Animation is cute, simple gameplay yet addictive; spend less time to play, more time for idle and doing my other stuff that I love, and yet still earning rewards.”
“I wanted to try something else in the series as DVM is a mindless grind, but this barely seems to even have gameplay.”
“It's a wait/idle gameplay style; there's not much to do outside of upgrading dragons or losing coliseum battles.”
“The art is very cute, but gameplay seems to stall out after a few minutes of play, and there isn't a lot you can do within the game.”

The story in the game is generally perceived as underwhelming and feels like an afterthought, lacking the depth and engagement found in previous installments. Players express frustration with the quest structure, which locks other quests behind the main storyline, and note that the narrative does not significantly enhance gameplay. While the art and animations are appreciated, many reviewers feel that the story could benefit from more meaningful quests and rewards.
“The game story seems great, but I found a bug where you just get back to the home screen in the middle of the game.”
“The animations are good, but the story is not that alluring.”
“Story feels like an afterthought and doesn't add to gameplay like previous games.”
“Also no way to earn premium currency and quests are highly specific that you cannot do most of the time.”
“The game had also initial bonuses but are being taken down now, no more 200 daily gems or story perks.”

The graphics in the game are generally described as cute and appealing, particularly for a younger audience, with nice artwork and good aesthetics. However, some users feel that the graphics are overly simplistic and could benefit from optimization, especially for low-end mobile devices. Overall, while the art style is appreciated, there are calls for improvement in quality and complexity.
“The art style is pretty nice.”
“Very good aesthetics and I really like it!”
“Graphics and tune are pretty good.”
“Like the other Dragon Village games, I wanted so badly to enjoy them fully, but my biggest hang-up is the quality of the art style.”
“So I would like to request you to optimize this game's graphics for low-end mobiles.”
“Extremely simple and boring graphics aren't great either.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the low frequency of microtransactions and easy currency earning, while others criticize the reliance on ads for progression and the high costs associated with hatching eggs. Many feel that the game leans towards a cash grab model, particularly regarding the pricing of in-game items and the necessity to watch ads to advance. Overall, the balance between enjoyment and monetization practices appears to be a significant concern for users.
“So far it seems light on the microtransactions, which is always reassuring.”
“But the problem is it's really hard to hatch the eggs and you won't get any free gems to buy advanced incubators except the 40 gems you would get after watching ads.”
“I sure hope it was worth destroying your game for some petty microtransactions; who is going to pay £1 just to put up anything other than legendary or epic dragons in the market?”
“Too many ads; the game forces you to watch ads to hatch your dragons or pay an absurd amount of in-game currency.”

“While the game is good thus far, aside from the tedious hand-holding tutorial, it's far from hitting its stride.”
“Proper idle, fresh, and cute, but overall too grindy to complete tasks.”
