  • gameplay
    220 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the flight mechanics and combat, while others criticize the controls as sluggish and unresponsive. Many users express a desire for more gameplay options and content, noting that the current mechanics can feel repetitive and lacking depth. Overall, while the concept of dragon combat is appealing, the execution leaves room for improvement, particularly in terms of user interface and additional gameplay modes.

    • “The flight mechanic for the dragons is wonderful.”
    • “The graphics are pretty decent, the gameplay is a ton of fun, and it's just a really cool idea: sci-fi dragons with lasers on their backs!”
    • “No matter, the gameplay is ridiculously fun once you figure out how to move, shoot, and not get blown to pieces in 2 seconds flat.”
    • “Unfortunately, after playing it for a bit I found that it is not worth playing even from a gameplay perspective.”
    • “The game was very unresponsive and the overheating mechanic was more a burden than it should have been.”
    • “This is a really good concept, and could do really well, but the gameplay gets boring, it needs a tutorial, and needs to get rid of team killing.”
  • graphics
    180 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the unique art style and decent visuals, particularly for a free game, while others criticize them as outdated or subpar, reminiscent of older console graphics. Many users note that while the graphics are not the best, they are acceptable given the game's low system requirements, and some express hope for future improvements. Overall, the consensus suggests that while the graphics have potential, they currently lack polish and refinement.

    • “The art style is really cool; it's very stylized, medieval fantasy but with a very sci-fi twist.”
    • “The graphics are amazing as well.”
    • “The graphics (highest setting) are a lot better than expected and the controls have the perfect balance of complexity (for detailed shooting and movement) and simplicity (for ease of play).”
    • “Graphics are second rate unless you lived back in the days of the PS2.”
    • “The sky graphics look unrealistic and terrible, and there are no volcanoes or baby dragons or eggs and power-ups as arcade games to make the game fun.”
    • “The graphics are not the greatest, but where that is lacking, the gameplay makes up for it.”
  • story
    58 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its absence, with many players expressing a desire for a campaign mode or narrative to provide context for the gameplay. While some appreciate the potential for a compelling backstory involving dragons and combat, the current lack of a structured story or missions leaves players feeling unfulfilled. Overall, the consensus is that the game would benefit significantly from the addition of a story mode to enhance player engagement and understanding.

    • “Adding a campaign mode would help players understand the backstory and reasons why anyone would strap weapons to a dragon and set it loose.”
    • “This game is really fun, I can't stop playing it, but one of my friends was right: if this had a story mode, it would probably help me understand why they are using dragons and lasers, and it would also explain what those giant ships are.”
    • “I'm not too sure of any plot, although there is certainly a framework for a cool story.”
    • “Until the game is actually complete and has a storyline or purpose to it, I won't be playing this too often.”
    • “There is literally no backstory to the game, nor is there any spaceship fighting, like the video suggests.”
    • “There's no story at all.”
  • stability
    46 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting frequent glitches, crashes, and matchmaking issues that detract from the overall experience. While some users noted that they encountered no significant problems, the consensus indicates that the game is still buggy and requires further refinement to enhance its playability. Despite these issues, there is a sense of optimism about the game's potential if the stability concerns are addressed.

    • “The tutorial was fun for me; I experienced no glitches.”
    • “It works surprisingly well; it runs great. Somehow, it's not laggy, and that's amazing to me because my system can't run multiplayer games well.”
    • “As I said, neat concept and there are a load of opportunities with this idea, but at the end of the day this product was so buggy and incomplete with so little content it's turned out to be a total waste of effort and time.”
    • “What absolute rubbish; buggy and not intuitive, unfinished needs to be looked at.”
    • “Glitches: I find that the game crashes often, every few matches.”
  • monetization
    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has mixed reviews, with some players praising it as a truly free-to-play experience with no microtransactions or ads, while others criticize it for being a cash grab with excessive microtransactions. Overall, many users appreciate the absence of pay-to-win elements, highlighting the game's potential as a passion project rather than a profit-driven endeavor.

    • “And honestly it's completely free, no microtransactions at all to be seen.”
    • “Truly free to play game (no microtransactions) with interesting, unique and fun concept.”
    • “No microtransactions or anything to pay for; it seems to be a game that was made more as a passion project from a group of very talented amateurs, I'm definitely looking forward to whatever comes next!”
    • “It's a good game for those who want a cash grabber dog fighter and hardly any replayability.”
    • “Next, this game is loaded with microtransactions.”
    • “They added microtransactions.”
  • music
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the beautiful and fitting orchestral soundtrack that enhances the aerial combat experience, others find it repetitive and lacking excitement. There are calls for more dynamic and engaging music, as well as additional sound effects to complement the gameplay. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as a strong point for some, but it leaves room for improvement in terms of variety and engagement.

    • “The soundtrack is very suiting, and I felt like a total badass when a massive orchestra swept up into a chorus as I shot down a giant flying ogre with lasers.”
    • “Great soundtrack.”
    • “The music, unintrusive and not distracting in the least (in fact, I would go as far as to say it is beautiful), is quite fitting to an aerial combat game like this, a refreshing break from the grating 'hardcore' shooter music.”
    • “The music is a bit boring; it might be good to have a racing game mode to induce some non-combat thrills, speed, and obstacles like those in Sonic games and Mario, where players like to earn extra treasure and level up or compete with others.”
    • “Was there any music at all in this game?”
    • “And you need new music.”
  • optimization
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is a mixed bag; while some players report smooth performance and enjoyable gameplay, others highlight significant optimization issues and bugs that detract from the experience. Overall, the game may feel cheap and lacks the polish of higher-budget titles, but it still manages to be fun for many players.

    • “The game runs smoothly and the concept is good.”
    • “Well optimized.”
    • “Extremely optimized (at least to me).”
    • “Not to mention the optimization is absolute shit.”
    • “Only issue that I've found is some optimization problems, but it might be my mistake.”
    • “It does have a slightly cheap feel, but the myriad features and optimizations that would be required to make a game like this run like the new Doom does would require a huge budget and a large price tag.”
  • grinding
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews indicate that grinding in the game is minimal, with players able to acquire various dragons within approximately 10 hours of gameplay. While some find the combat system tedious, the overall balance and focus on skill over traditional upgrades suggest that grinding is not a significant barrier to enjoyment. Future updates are expected to further enhance the experience.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “The combat system seems a bit too tedious.”
    • “Altogether, it just needs players and some tweaking, and this game would be War Thunder, except less grinding and more fun.”
  • humor
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is generally well-received, with players finding it entertaining and enjoyable, often describing it as "funny as hell." However, some users express frustration with certain players who engage in trolling behavior, undermining the fun for others, particularly in competitive settings. Overall, while the game has a humorous appeal, the community dynamics can sometimes detract from the experience.

    • “This game is funny and really good :)”
    • “This game is funny as hell, don't watch on user reviews because it's worth playing for the cool mechanics and etc. I can't wait for more dragons in the new update if they will be :D”
    • “This'll be funny.”
  • emotional
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is marred by frustrating mechanics, such as the collision damage system that penalizes players for simply touching the ground, which detracts from the experience of flying and exploring. This design choice creates a sense of helplessness and annoyance, overshadowing any potential emotional engagement with the gameplay. Overall, players feel that the mechanics hinder their ability to connect with the game on a deeper level.

  • replayability

    • “It's a good game for those who want a cash grabber dog fighter and hardly any replayability.”
    • “More content is needed to improve replayability.”
