- “A good game, but it needs optimization and better graphics.”
- “I had buildings that were almost at the highest level, but they look like level 1. I'm using an Android 4.1 phone, and I also can't see what they say the 'graphic quality' at the settings tab. This started since the last update. I would really love to give a 5-star rating until you fix this.”

Gameplay reviews are mixed, with some players praising its addictive nature, engaging mechanics, and impressive graphics, while others criticize the lack of clear explanations, unbalanced pay-to-win elements, and frustrating resource management. Many users express frustration over the game's reliance on microtransactions, which can hinder progression and create an unfair experience, particularly for free-to-play users.

- “Amazing gameplay, so much to do.”
- “Love the challenging gameplay.”

- “The gameplay is mildly promising at first but so much of it is poorly executed and either poorly explained or just left for the player to figure out by googling it.”
- “It's a decent game with good graphics and an interesting storyline but most of its gameplay is not good. For example, the process to get dragon eggs is unnecessarily difficult and feels punishing, serving no purpose other than to make you grind. The tutorial for the game is just trash; I wouldn't recommend it as it is not beginner-friendly.”
- “After the new player protection ended, it was clear that the game's mechanics favor those who invest real money into it, as they get resources, instant building upgrades, and research, then quickly target weaker players to steal resources from.”
