Major glitches with gold and leveling, and minor annoyances – Dragon Village -A City Builder Review
TL;DR besides the few glitches that prevent advancement of gameplay after a certain level, it is actually a decent game with a nice variety of dragons and colorful 2d graphics. Smooth running, but a few crashes here and there. Nothing major. Add more high level content (lvl 100+)!
Positives: nice concept with battling dragons, leveling them up, and breeding them. The game is very colorful yet easy on the eyes(I have bad vision). Both of my siblings love this game and other games by the same developer. Has a great variety of dragons so we try to collect them all.
Here’s where I talk about some issues I noticed.
The gold issue? You can’t carry more than 1.021 billion gold, or you go into the negatives and have to earn back gold by doing tournaments. For every 2 tournaments you do, it brings you back into the negatives. It’s a never ending cycle. Each tournament gives 2 billion gold. So far I haven’t noticed any issues with the foods.
The leveling issue? I can’t get above level 474. My exp is negative 1 billion to reach the next level. Tell me, how can that be done?
Not the most annoying thing about the game, but noteworthy: Bad English! It’s apparent that the developers don’t speak English well. My little sister is learning how to read but I wouldn’t trust her playing this app for that - I see a lot of awkward sentences or misspelled words. Although this isn’t an issue for me, it’s an issue for the kids playing this game.
One *minor* annoyance: Remove the pop ups that show up after buying habitats, breeding dragons, or planting crops. I accidentally spent 45 gems by clicking “speed up” after planting something. I felt jipped.
The prices for packs are ridiculous too, considering that you’ll pay $99.99 for 200.000 foods, some gold, some gems, and a dragon. However, any dragons over level 100 cost about 400.000 foods to level up to the next level. Either give more resources in each pack or charge way less. Perhaps this $99 pack should be a one-time-only starter pack for beginners at the price of $5, since it could be a bit slow leveling up. I doubt that packs are in such high demand at these highway-robbery prices.
