The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequent failure of ads to load, which hampers their ability to earn in-game rewards. While some appreciate the minimal intrusive ads, others criticize the heavy reliance on ads for essential game functions and the high cost of in-app purchases, leading to perceptions of the game as a cash grab. Overall, the inconsistent ad performance and the necessity to pay for features have detracted from the gaming experience for many users.
“I was impressed there are no ads unless I want some little speed bonus.”
“Love this game! No ads and fun; we get to merge dragons and claim prizes. My friends play this too and rate it highly!”
“It's okay to a degree but heavy on the microtransactions to the point of obviousness; for example, the roulette is rigged to almost always give you the least goods for every spin.”
“The problem I have is when I can't afford $30 a month and I want to start using the ads to fuel my game for a few days.”
“Greedy devs, ads are broken; they released a fix, so that if an ad wouldn't play, you could still get the bonuses.”
“Now developers transformed it into a shameless cash grab.”

Overall, the gameplay is generally well-received, praised for its smooth mechanics, engaging graphics, and easy-to-understand merge mechanics. However, many players have noted issues with bugs, repetitive elements, and a shift towards pay-to-win mechanics, which detracts from the experience. While the game offers a decent idle experience and quick progression, some users feel it lacks depth and interactivity, leading to a monotonous grind over time.
“Some positive things about the game revolve mainly around settings, smooth gameplay, and great visuals.”
“Good tutorial that explains what you need without too many wordy descriptions, and the merge mechanics are simple to understand and smooth.”
“The user interface is very helpful and the gameplay is rewarding.”
“And that's almost all I feel through the updates, very little new gameplay and if they add anything it just feels broken forever (unbalanced, literal bugs etc.).”
“The gameplay used to work well but recently there seems to be so many issues and bugs with each new update, and it has taken a while to fix these issues.”
“The initial gameplay was a powerhouse, that petered into a monotonous grind of resetting, skipping, and waiting.”

“The music isn't there either.”
“But each stage could have its own music instead of the same constant loop we have.”
“Has a stupid and weird song when you get in the game, it's so loud and annoying.”

The game's story is widely criticized for being minimal and lacking coherence, with many players expressing a desire for more substantial narrative elements and better localization. While some appreciate the interesting descriptions of dragons, the overall storyline is deemed irrelevant and poorly developed, leading to frustration among users. Recommendations for improvement include adding more story content and enhancing the clarity of the existing narrative.
“As a fan of idle games, I have to say there are not very good ones on the Play Store, but this one is a completely different story, and if you don't believe me, then you can play it yourself.”
“Only recommendation is to improve language localization and better story development to make this a stellar game.”
“Amazing graphics and awesome storyline.”
“And I do find that there is certainly a lack of a story despite the interesting descriptions of the dragons.”
“The English isn't very comprehensible, the storyline makes little sense, motivation is scant, and upgrades are pointless.”
“The little story it has is basically meaningless to you.”

The stability of the game is a significant concern for many users, with frequent reports of freezing, lagging, and crashing during gameplay. Players experience issues such as the game freezing on loading screens, glitches when merging dragons, and being kicked out of the game, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. Despite these problems, some users express a strong affection for the game, indicating that they would rate it higher if stability issues were resolved.
“I typically experience 10-15 freezes per day, necessitating either watching an extra ad after restarting, or else spending in-game currency to buy the power-up instead.”
“When you merge 2 tier 10 dragons, it lags the game out and freezes your screen, then you have to reload the whole thing which takes forever. Please fix this, I enjoy the game very much, but when it comes to this, no way.”
“Good game except it periodically freezes and shuts down.”

Overall, players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience. While some appreciate the challenge and fun of grinding, many criticize it for being excessively tedious and repetitive, especially during late-game stages where progress slows significantly. Suggestions for improvement include adding features like double speed options to alleviate the grind.
“I don't like the fact that it feels very grindy and at times very repetitive.”
“Without auto play, the game is tedious and slow.”
“There should be a double speed option. Once you start rebirthing and have to grind your way back to stage 500+, it becomes tedious to the extreme.”
