Gameplay is characterized by a mix of engaging mechanics, such as the inflation system that encourages resource management, but it suffers from poor explanations of key features, leading to confusion. Players find the repetitive gameplay loop tedious, especially as micromanagement increases with more dragons, and many express a desire to disable the inflation mechanic, which they feel adds unnecessary complexity without benefits. Overall, while the game has potential, it struggles with clarity and pacing, leaving some players disappointed after extended play.
- “The gameplay is very simple and the game does a great job of explaining how to do things.”
- “The inflation mechanic adds a slight challenge to not be wasteful with your action points or hoard unneeded amulets.”
- “It's like a well-made game from Kongregate years ago, with some AI art and some polish to the gameplay.”
- “A lot of information on gameplay isn't explained well, and it takes a little bit to figure out all the mechanics.”
- “I think the issue is the ballooning need for micromanagement that really bogs down gameplay as you get more and more dragons.”

Overall, the grinding aspect can lead to a repetitive experience as the game progresses.
- “Yo, I tried my best but this game is grindy as hell. The menus are a pain to scroll through and the amount of information you don't know is amazing!”
- “I'm not sure the intent was for gamers to have fun, but just to keep grinding and gambling.”
- “As the game progresses, though, it turns a bit tedious.”
