Dragon Story™ Reviews

by Shortcake.15

I’ve been seeing reviews lately that sums up how I feel. I’ve had this game for so long, but now it’s just getting really confusing. Every time I open it I get bombarded with ads, new tasks (when I haven’t even completed the old ones), and new types of dragons. This wasn’t always like this. I love this game, and I want to see it succeed. I recommend limiting dragon types, for one. All these new typings get very confusing, so much that I’ve found myself losing incentive to breed new dragons. Also, the battling is very odd. The first time I was in the arena, I was stumped because I couldn’t win even if my dragons we way above the opponent’s level. I researched and I discovered that it is chance-based. The ads are bothersome. Every time I feed, complete a task, or finish evolving a dragon, an advertisement pops up! It really destroys the feel of the game. I remember when it wasn’t like this. What happened?? Again, please simply rework some things. I will not change the star rating unless I start seeing some change. I’m disappointed.

Cost to much to play. And not only that it really hasn’t updated in years. I have been playing this game since 2012. That’s why theirs a one star. Don’t appreciate this game anymore. And as for Dragon Story shouldn’t have to spend Ten million Dollars on Gems. Yeah need to make money but 1.99 for 10 Gems? That’s pretty pathetic. You don’t get anything with 9 Gems but a simple decoration. This game has gotten on my nerves for the last many years. And by the way many glitches. On Restaurant Story have a restaurant that has everything in it Just on level 0. Just don’t appreciate this game. And the ads are really starting to make me very angry. I mean extremely angry. All I GET IS ADS AND ADS AND ADS AND ADS UPON MILLIONS OF ADS!!!!! WE GET THE POINT!!!! And the Notification I have is really rude been like this for the last two years ( Unfortunately the movers but yout L Shaped table in the tub. Come rearrange.) Thats Very disrespectful for a so called kids game. Very snobby and rude. Very annoying and very rude just plain down rude. I’m through playing this game for life. Very livid about this game. Bye

It’s sad to say that I’ve been playing this game since it first came out and I’ve repeatedly uninstalled/reinstalled........ it’s a great game with great art and dragons but ever since they came up with all these new dragons and events it’s hard to catch up. It’s a fact that they’re out for money and to have the best dragons in the game you literally have to be pay to win, every dragon I have in my game I’ve bred and waited for hours to hatch and I’m lvl 124. The events are impossible to beat unless you use gold and to make matters unfair they pair you with people who use money to win the event when those people should be paired with other gold users. The bingo has no point and to be honest it’s ridiculous trying to get stardust so you can craft a dragon that’s requiring so much of it.... seriously 1600 to craft and ultra rare??? That’s a joke and so is the ticket temple as well as charging us gold to use a second breeding den. I see that it’s a business and you guys have to make money but if it keeps on going like this players aren’t going to want to continue to play :/ so fix it and be fair to the people who aren’t using gold to win events

I don’t really like this game because it takes so long for the first breed and if you do more complicated breeds then it would probably take a whole day for a new breed. Also the graphics are the worst I would prefer the graphics from dragon city or dragon mania legends and all those ratings with five stars are a lie the game developers probably hired people to give them good ratings because I don’t see how people like this game I would rather dig my nails in my head than play this game because it’s so sad because of the bad graphics and how long it takes to make a new dragon and yes I know that dragon city takes a bit to make new dragons but those times are reasonable unlike this games they should make the times more reasonable like the more rare items take a longer time and the less rare they are the less time they take and that’s also a good way to let the players get a better understanding of what type of dragon their new dragon could be. So anyways in conclusion I hate this game because it has horrible graphics, how long it takes for the dragons to hatch, and how everybody lies with the reviews or the game developers hired fake review people to give them good reviews so more play and the more money they make and they are also constantly fighting that battle because the hater team is stronger than the developer team

Thanks for reading

I realize that they keep goals just out of reach in order to get you to buy gold. The thing is that I would be happy to buy gold until I do the math and realize that some dragons can cost well over $100 each to feed and evolve. It’s just not worth investing in at all. Also, I refuse to spend money on games that force you to watch commercials, anyway. You could easily spend a few hundred dollars and not get very far and still have to watch ads every few minutes. If they would make the gold rates more reasonable or make the breeding/evolving times shorter and food requirements less, this would be a very relaxing casual game. I don’t expect a quality game for free but I also think the developers should not be so greedy. As it is, the main focus of the game is to farm apples, which is mind numbing. If they changed the dynamics and put more emphasis on breeding and battling (more than once or twice a day) and less emphasis on farming apples (thousands per day) the game would be really great.

This maybe the second time I have ever written a review but I had too. First, after reading other reviews I’m certain the developers will not read this or if they do not care. Second, when you go to buy boost after saving up forever to get gold most times you have to buy it twice because the first time never counts but they still take your gold. Again, it takes forever to earn gold so they have truly set it up for you to purchase items.
Breeding, be prepared to breed the same eggs over and over!!! Not only will you breed the same egg a bunch it takes for ever for them to hatch. Then to feed them be prepared to need a bunch of food to feed them after stage 10.
I like playing this because my daughter does and we talk about it but if it wasn’t for her I would delete this game. It’s not fun when you can not earn gold which you need, it’s not fun for things to take days to hatch, grow, for land to clear then you have to clear it again, and when you have limits set on things daily. The graphics stink, but again the developers do not care because others have complained and yet nothing changes.

I’ve been playing this game since day one. It began so much fun! It slowly started adding the challenges and battle tournament. They were challenging but you won more times then you failed. Same with the leadership board you were able to get the milestones all the way to the end. The community challenge was so much fun but you were always able to complete it at last second. The only ads you had were from watching videos for mystery prizes or for taking an hour off battles to get to the next level quicker. Now the only way you can win any of the challenges is if you spend money. Don’t get me wrong I know it takes money to keep the game up and running smoothly. Just don’t make the game so impossible to win that you have to buy gold bars or extra leadership points to win! I went from getting all the milestones on the leadership challenges to being lucky if I can get the second to last. The community challenge are so rare your lucky if you get two a month and your lucky if you get the points to get community rewards and the tournaments I have multiple diamonds and multiple champions at level 15 but when a level 4 common dragon takes out three champions at 15 something changed.

Make a extra reward system for people to buy into that has rare prizes a diamond or champion dragon or even an ultra rare habitat to win if they buy into it. Just don’t make it impossible for people who can’t afford to buy extras just to win the weekly challenges.

I am along with everyone else that writes a review. I have been playing this game for a long long time. But I do find issues in the game. The first one is my game just keeps shutting off. I have to keep restarting the game and restarting the game and it becomes very annoying. They sent out a fix to take care of this but it hasn’t yet. The next problem I have with this is I find it not fair. I do understand you want people to buy gold, however you guys have made it where we can expand on a new island, But it takes so long to craft the marble keys that it becomes time consuming. I’m not gonna continue to use gold just so I can open places to expand . And my final issue is I have got so many coins, I am talking millions of coins and yet I can’t use them. I don’t understand why you can’t let us use coins to build up our expansion or to buy any habitat. I feel like why collect the coins now when I can’t use them anywhere. When are we going to have something to use those queen dark? I actually hope the makers of this game read our reviews and maybe will listen. Thank you

I like the game because I like dragons, and I like watching all my dragons flying around, but just now I was checking on my Spell Shop to see how much longer it was going to be, and I accidentally clicked the speed up button and it cost me 30 gold. I am not too upset because I never spend money on the game anyway, it is just for relaxing, but I think this is a big problem especially for more serious players. I have been saving for another nest for dragon eggs, and now it will take an extra 10 days at least to get it. Not a big problem for me, but when someone clicks the speed up button it should automatically ask you if you are sure you want to speed it up. I believe this game does not have this feature because it is trying to trick players into buying more gold with real money, which would not be that unusual in games but still. Not very nice :/

I’ve had this game for about 8 years maybe longer. It’s a lot of fun but requires hours of playing per week to really compete. If I didn’t have the game before they started tournaments I wouldn’t have enough resources to be competitive without spending money.
Also, when the game was new they didn’t have ads. Now there are so many ads all the time and they pop up while you play. You click on them accidentally. I’m considering deleting the game because of the ads.
If they wouldn’t have ruined the game with ads I would’ve given it 5 stars easy!

****edit.... a lot of people are asking about gold. Spend the real money to buy enough gold to purchase a gold bearing dragon when it’s on sale. Save that gold till you have enough to get another gold bearing dragon. I did this and now have 12 gold dragons I think. They give me 65 gold a day total. It takes a lot of time but it’s really the only way.

I have had the game for years. I had stopped playing because I never got anywhere and it got frustrating. I started playing again but the event are difficult. As part of the chapter event you have to breed a dragon that is hard to get in the meantime the event is ticking on. Last chapter event I had to breed my special event dragon with a dragon I didn’t have so I gave up on the event.

I wish we could pick from a list of what we want to earn for taking the time to watch a video. That list also needs to be able to be changed as we progress in the game. I have tried for diamond dragon and have failed. Now I see I can get the Neo diamond with adventure tickets. So I watch videos hoping to get adventures tickets and only get coins or food. There both good but not what I want. I want the adventure tickets, I watch video saying I could get them or a mystery item. I always get the mystery item as coins or food.

The good news is, it's rather fun and addictive with a lot of cool dragons and habitats, plus competitive events and other niches like battles that make the game fun to learn about and let you win cute special dragons. The bad news is, you will never have all or even most of the the dragon types, and that's my big disappoinment. Many rare ones can't be bred. They must be either crafted for an exorbitant amount of dragon essence (which takes 8 hours a piece to get) or bought for an average of 400 "gold," which is actual money, bit currency you earn in the game. 500 costs $20, so figure you are paying $20 for some of the dragons, with the rarest ones costing almost $200 (4,000 gold) - ridiculous! The other activities, such as breeding, habitat building, hatching eggs, also take several hours each on average.

The gold unfortunately isn't freely given or won during the game, but a little patience with watching ads and spinning the wheel during special events gets you generous rewards in food and game currency.

Bottom line is, if you're willing to treat it as an idle game, you like collecting cute dragons, and you're settled that you can't get all thousand varieties, it's a good game for you!

Overall I like the game. I am a teacher and my students like helping feed and read about the dragons as a reward. The only things I find frustrating is that the events at times are hard to finish. Also the really nice habitats cost gold, and no other option to get them. I understand they need a way to make money, but I don’t have spare money to spend on a game. I wish there was alternative methods to obtain gold then downloading games I don’t want. Also, I like the bingo and normally get a first one. The second board always seams to have something I can’t do. The last thing I wish I could see is how to identify quickly which dragon is in which class when playing bingo. I don’t always know the type dragon it is unless I go out and look through my list to see. And could use a symbol chart to describe what type dragon they are.

I don’t write reviews but I just want to put this out to anyone who wants to get this game. The first thing I want to put out is that the hatching can take up to a full day and a couple hours of daylight. The second one is gold... ( this is my opinion ) I feel like we should get 1 or 2 pieces a day and also it is very hard to get gold. The the next thing I want to say is the dragons. The dragons take up A LOT of time and to this you have to have patience with it. I get that they have to breed and stuff but I don’t want to wait another 13 to 14 hours. Finally the habitats... this is my BIGGEST concern yet. I don’t like how you have to spend gold or say 1 MILLION dollars on 1 habitat that can only fit 4 or 5 dragons. I get that the habitats are pretty or big and stuff but I just don’t understand why they are SO much like I would be ok is SOME of the expensive ones are like 40,000 or 50,000 I don’t want to spend 1 million on a habitat that is not that worth it. Don’t get me wrong I like the game but I just think that this could use some adding and stuff.

I love, love this game! The graphics are terrific. The detail taken with each dragon is amazing. I actually prefer many of them in their younger states. Not quite as pretty and cute when fully grown. There are several areas I’d like to see changed. First off the most troublesome is server not being capable of the many players. Thus crashing when it’s most troublesome. It would be refreshing to see some new decorations for purchase, as well as nicer ones during events. Speaking of events. A break now and again would be nice. Allowing the players to regroup with crops, rearranging their islands. My only complaint is how long it takes to enlarge areas. If you factor time needed to collect needed maps. Then wait the 24 hour or more for it to finish. You then are looking at up to another 24hours to clear larger rocks and trees. This entire process can take up to 5-6 days! Then add another 12-24 hours for habitat to be ready. You are sometimes looking at a week for expanding to put new dragon into its new habitat! Seems just a bit too long in my estimation. Besides this few things, it’s an addicting game for sure!

I've had this game for almost five years. It's almost a love hate, because I delete it then come back to it. My recent comeback I noticed that in the recent event, like earning tiaras and moon drops, there's no longer the opportunity to earn double or triple the amount of items I earn during the last few days of the event. Such as, I planted Scalypears to earn 20 points and am given 9 days to do my tasks. I re,ember that in the last two days, they would double the smoking you earn and help you get further to getting at least 1 dragon.
The longest breeding time I've had was 33 hours. Do the math and you'll see that I wasn't able to get the prizes that was being aimed for. It feels impossible and it makes it seem as if the game is trying to coax you into spending money.
I love the events, but hate that I almost have no chance to get the featured dragons without spending money that I'm saving for college and a car. I haven't spent any yet, but when I had I'm the past, I've come to regret it cause I still lost out I'm the end. The scrolls are also difficult for me due to having to wait for the next events and tasks that come off as hard unless I have gold.
Games are supposed to be relaxing and events are supposed to be fun, some of you may or may not agree, but please make the events a bit easier to play along with. Even bringing back the doubling amount near the end of the events would be a major stress reliever. Thank you.

It’s a great game, but I’ve played this since I was a wee little kid and have pointed out this single and same problem that plagues the game to this day. Not only is this issue time-consuming, but there’s a simple solution to which has yet to be created.

Requesting Mystic Maps. This is by far the most irrelevant and painful task in my opinion. I have neighbors from around 2013, many within this time frame, and ones now as well. To request that many neighbors one-by-one is a rather irritating and excruciating task when the job could easily be done by clicking a button at the top to automatically check all of the neighbors off. And also, I’d like to point out that whenever I scroll down the neighbor list when asking for Mystic Maps, my checks above always disappear, so to avoid that problem, I just go up the list, starting from the bottom. It’s extremely annoying when all of my work just gets erased for some unknown reason. If this new button was to be installed, it would save a tremendous amount of time and effort.

Thank you for reading and I hope you consider this new installment. It would help your players out a ton.

I have been playing Dragon Story for about 4 to 5 years now. When I first started playing this game it was easier to win dragons in the events. Now it takes longer and you have to play more which a lot of us don’t have that time to do. And then the dragons used to take four hours to hatch in four hours to progress. Now some of those dragons are taking 29 hours. That doesn’t benefit those of us that are very busy. So if you can go back to at least four hours that would be perfect. And also try to do something about all the crashing every time I visit my top neighbors my game crashes and I have to take at least three or four times just to say hello to one neighbor. I really love this game so I really wish you would work on this make it a little easier for those of us that are really busy.

So I’ve had Dragon Story ever since it came out. It’s a great game, and I’d highly suggest it; except there are some minor issues I’ve had. First, I know a few friends have deleted it due to “impatience”. What they meant by that was that farming, breeding, quests, hatching, and expanding took a long time. I’m not saying I agree fully with that, as I am a very patient person to my standards, but it does take an extended amount of time to progress in the game.
Another glitch I’ve been personally experiencing is the ads. Whenever I watch them, I have always gotten only coins. And regarding the ads, whenever I try to watch them to unlock the battles again instead of waiting an hour, it flat out doesn’t work.
One more minor issue, I find gold is rather difficult to procure. It’s just an in-app purchase that doesn’t affect gameplay too much just wanted to point it out.
I suggest you get dragon story or at least give it a try. It’s a fun game to do in your free time and is worth getting :)

by Dragon Loving Girl

I have been playing Dragon Story for a little more than 6 years and still really enjoy it!
I love how you can breed different dragons and experience some of the lore of the game. The community features are amazing as well; I have never seen any thing that has been unpleasant that has to do with players. It’s fun to return to the game when you have a chance, and even just once a day is great. If you enjoy games with amazing graphics, mythical or natural creatures, and even characters that make you smile, I really think you will enjoy Dragon Story!

A note for the developers now. I have had a glitch on the two accounts I have where on other islands I visit, I can still see things that need to be cleared, where it is obvious they have been cleared on the other player’s account. It makes it hard to see the island and the graphics well. Hope it will be fixed soon, and keep making great games Storm 8!
