The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating its fun mechanics, beautiful graphics, and ease of understanding. However, some users have criticized it for being overly simplistic, grindy, and heavily reliant on pay-to-win elements, while others have reported issues with freezing and login problems. Overall, while the game offers enjoyable aspects, it also has significant flaws that detract from the experience.
“The gameplay is fun, the characters are cool and unique, and while very small, the fandom is much less toxic than most fandoms.”
“Gameplay is awesome, graphics are amazing and the amount of rewards you get is insane.”
“Great gameplay, great graphics, it's extremely enjoyable.”
“I have been playing on and off for about two months now and there is no improvement with their logging in issues and the constant freezing up throughout the gameplay experience.”
“The game is okay for the first couple of hours but there is no actual storyline; you just go through zones that are practically a carbon copy of each other. There are points where all you can do is the mystery cave every day because you are stuck everywhere else, and the mystery cave can only be done once a day, leaving you waiting for ages for it to unlock while you remain stuck in the main gameplay.”
“False advertising; I saw an ad for this game that showed it as a multiplayer game where you eat smaller dragons to level up and transform into something bigger, but the actual gameplay couldn't be farther from what is shown.”

The monetization aspect of the game is a mixed bag; while players appreciate the absence of intrusive ads and the ability to progress without spending money, many express frustration over the frequent in-game purchase prompts and the perception of the game as a cash grab. Although some users find the game enjoyable and resource-rich without payment, others criticize the misleading advertisements and the pressure to buy to enhance gameplay, leading to a sense of imbalance between paying and non-paying players. Overall, the game is seen as generous in resources but marred by aggressive monetization tactics.
“The game is great, it's fun, and you get a ton of gems, plus there are no ads.”
“No ads and you can get far in the game without having to pay any money.”
“It's not too easy or hard, it's not pay to win or impossible to play, and there's no ads!”
“Cash grabs here and there are nice and all... but having 3 simultaneous passes, multiple monthly/daily grabs, and other things you can pay for and get an advantage with really ruins the paid experience.”
“Seems like they give you lots of resources to play without feeling like you need to pay, but the pop-up ads to buy their stuff are bordering on pushy and overly frequent.”
“The advertisements and description for this game are false.”

The reviews highlight a mixed perception of grinding in the game. While some players find the grinding enjoyable and not overly tedious, others feel it can become repetitive and slow, especially when trying to level up dragons or collect items.

“Pretty fun game, not grindy at all. It really isn't pay-to-win either; overall, a great game.”
“I don't know if the gameplay gets better later, but what I experienced was a grindy collecting game with a combat mode that expects you to do nothing and wait until it's over.”
“You need so many copies of dragons to get them powerful; it's a very grindy game that's unnecessarily drawn out.”
“Consists of constant grinding/farming and the mechanics/concept is too simple; there's not enough different challenges that really require work.”
