The game's story mode offers an intriguing narrative centered around dragon riders, but access is heavily restricted, requiring a paid Titan Pass to progress beyond the initial acts. Players express frustration over the repetitive missions and the need to grind extensively for rewards, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the storyline. While some appreciate the unique lore and character backstories, many feel that the story lacks depth and is marred by bugs and a paywall, limiting the free-to-play experience.
“I liked how the game has both a story and a multiplayer aspect to it.”
“The storylines are great.”
“It has a great story and the arenas are really creative and thought out!”
“Only bummer was that you could only play like 2 parts of the story without purchasing the Titan Pass, so I feel like I missed a lot of the story which I was interested to find out, but couldn't afford.”
“One of the things that was not appreciated, on my part at least, is that you cannot complete the story without purchasing a Titan Pass.”
“The single player needs more work; some of the missions are unbalanced and I'm not excusing that because this is a PvP focused game.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the dragon designs and overall aesthetic, while others criticize them as outdated and in need of significant improvement. Many users note that while the graphics are not the worst, they fall short compared to newer titles, leading to a desire for a graphical overhaul. Overall, the visuals are described as decent but lacking polish, with some players finding them enjoyable and others deeming them subpar.
“This game is awesome, of course I love anything that has to do with dragons, gameplay looks fun and the graphics are fantastic, I'm going to download this game right now.”
“The graphics are great and complement the tone and style of the game very well, although I do think some minor adjustments could be made to the camera angles.”
“The graphics are very pretty and the gameplay is addictive.”
“While its variety of dragons and customization options add depth, its dated graphics and repetitive gameplay may not appeal to all players.”
“Horribly bad graphics that need a lot of polishing, especially the UI, huge balance issues, auto aim?”
“The controls are clunky and feel bad at the start, the graphics feel like they were made by a child, the gameplay is pure garbage.”

The grinding aspect of the game is heavily criticized for being excessively time-consuming, requiring players to invest many hours to progress without spending real money. While some players find enjoyment in the grind, others feel it detracts from the overall experience, especially with the introduction of the titan pass, which can make grinding feel less rewarding. Overall, the consensus is that while grinding is a common feature in free-to-play games, this title takes it to an extreme that may frustrate players.
“You'll need a second life for grinding.”
“I don't mind the grinding, but it gets to a point where you can't progress without spending hours and hours and hours trying to get level ups on dragons and enough crystals to buy anything.”
“It's main flaw is that it is incredibly grindy for the crystals (in-game currency) you get about 50-60 a game without the titan pass sometimes but very rarely more and if you have the titan pass it 4x your winnings.”
“Unlocking items in the game requires grinding for hours on end and you can't get a dragon unless you get the credit card.”

The monetization strategy of the game has drawn mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the shift from microtransactions to a macrotransaction model that they feel undermines the free-to-play experience. While some appreciate the absence of frustrating microtransactions and the value offered by the Titans pass, others express frustration over the perceived cash grab nature of the new system, which requires players to pay for content they previously unlocked. Overall, the monetization approach has left players feeling conflicted, with concerns about fairness and value.
“I'm not big into MOBAs, but I do rather like this one, especially the way they designed the DLC so you aren't bogged down with microtransactions.”
“Titans Pass gives you all the content you would get from microtransactions for a solid year.”
“There are no microtransactions for any player to feel frustrated, and most of the items such as the runes, rune slots, the weapon packs, and dragon packs can be purchased through in-game currency.”
“Removed microtransactions and added a macro (some would think that'd be good but oh boy how wrong those would be! It's supposed to be a free-to-play, and with unlocking everything for the buyers for a year, while also making them earn 4x the XP and crystals (currency), it doesn't really thrive to remain free-to-play friendly. The macrotransaction also nullified all your microtransactions from before, so despite the hundreds some had spent, they had to pay $20 to get what they already paid for.”
“They claim no microtransactions, but I bought the season pass and have all the DLC. It bugs the heck out of me that they lied; I'm getting a refund.”
“It's just obvious a cash grab, progressing through tutorials with dragons of low power and weapons being taunted by 'buy buy buy'.”

“The music is fantastic, and you feel like you're getting somewhere (when things aren't wonky).”

“It lacks good epic battle music and a good menu.”

The game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with players noting a lack of balance in gameplay due to only a fraction of dragons and weapons being competitively viable. While developers are actively working on bug fixes and performance improvements, some users feel that serious attention is still needed to address ongoing performance issues. Overall, the game is considered enjoyable, but its competitive aspects could benefit from better optimization.
“Good game, just needs performance issues addressed seriously.”
“It's free and has dragons, and it seems quite balanced; knowing the game is more important than buying 20% performance.”
“Very little attention was paid to balance the gameplay; in fact, there are only about a quarter of the dragons and weapons that provide competitive performance.”
“The developers are constantly making bug fixes and performance improvements.”
“It's free and has dragons, but it seems quite unbalanced, as knowing the game is more important than having a 20% performance boost.”
