  • monetization
    287 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model of the game is largely praised for being non-intrusive, with ads being entirely optional and not forced upon players. While players appreciate the lack of mandatory ads and the ability to earn rewards through watching them, many report issues with ads crashing the game or failing to provide promised rewards. In-app purchases are available but often criticized for being overpriced, leading to a perception that the game has shifted towards a more cash-grab approach over time.

    • “Dragonvale is one of those games you play to relax after a hard day; there are absolutely no ads (only if you want a few free items or to speed up breeding/building times). I've played this game for so long and it's literally so nostalgic for me.”
    • “This game is super nostalgic for me, and it's easily the best monetization model for a mobile game ever.”
    • “There's no actual need for in-game purchases, but it's still optional.”
    • “The game is now totally focused around ads and microtransactions.”
    • “This game used to be fun and casual now it's just all about money, the amount of pop ups to encourage you to spend money are insane, and they added forced ads you can skip and get no reward from, made this game absolutely miserable to use good job greedy devs.”
    • “I love this game but the ads for earning freebies keep crashing.”

    • “The graphics are amazing and the dragon designs are cute and creative.”

  • gameplay
    90 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

However, many users express frustration with issues such as slow progression, frequent crashes, and the need for improvements in certain mechanics, particularly regarding decoration and habitat management.

    • “Untouchable with its outstanding gameplay and engrossing, original storylines.”
    • “The gameplay is very simple yet fun; I especially enjoy working towards collecting every dragon in the dragonarium.”
    • “Great game, love the mechanics; although the waiting time for some of the more common dragons such as air and lightning dragons are long, this game is a blast to play and I highly recommend playing it!”
    • “I get that there's a low-res mode where a lot less crashes occur during gameplay, but that doesn't help when the game is already crashing at the company logo or loading screen.”
    • “Unfortunately, the gameplay has been getting worse with each update, to the point of it becoming ridiculous.”
    • “The game mechanics have changed, so progression will be frustrating unless you are okay with it being slow.”
  • story
    44 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is praised for its originality and engaging backstories for each dragon, enhancing the overall experience. However, players express a desire for a more immersive narrative and additional storyline content, as some quests can feel repetitive and time-consuming. While the art and design are well-received, technical issues and bugs detract from the enjoyment of the story-driven elements.

    • “Untouchable with its outstanding gameplay and engrossing, original storylines.”
    • “I love the huge amount of dragons and how each has a little backstory.”
    • “It's easy to play, and they have a bunch of really cute dragons, each with their own little story and info.”
    • “I am missing the new quest because of their issues and this isn't the first time this has happened.”
    • “The game is good but my only problem is it seems like they don't want people to win those races. All the dragons are going fast but mine is not. Sometimes I get third place, rarely second place, or I lose practically all the races. I think they don't give that much opportunity to buy Kairos when you're doing races or quests. Quests are the worst; something you wait 7 hours for only gives you 93 or less food.”
    • “I love this game, but I would love to see some more storyline, like a new legendary or something new with the rift.”
  • grinding
    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews highlight a mixed perception of grinding in the game, with many players finding it enjoyable and rewarding, while others describe it as tedious and time-consuming. Some appreciate the sense of achievement that comes from grinding, especially for rare items or dragons, but others express frustration over long wait times and repetitive events. Overall, the game is characterized as grindy, with a balance between fun gameplay and the potential for overwhelming tedium, particularly for new players.

    • “It's been 4 months since this started, and a farming game you can't get into is pretty much useless.”

    • “Getting to the point (level 40) where it's just tedious grinding now.”

    Overall, the game's optimization has received significant criticism, particularly on Android devices, where users report severe lag, stuttering, and slow response times, even on high-end phones. While some players appreciate the game's design and community, many express frustration over performance issues that detract from the overall experience, especially during events. Recent updates have exacerbated these problems, leading to a consensus that the game requires urgent optimization improvements.

    • “Haven't noticed any performance issues except for during events like the Luck of the Vale where clicking the eggs drops some frames.”
    • “I still love the game, but the performance leaves more than just a little to be desired.”
    • “Great game but the new update has some massive performance issues.”
    • “Unfortunately, as my park grows, I have greater difficulty playing as features stop working entirely and performance becomes laggy.”

    • “I've played your game for years, and have developed an emotional attachment and great love for this game.”
