NOT Pay to Win – Dragalia Lost Review

Some of the reviews are claiming that this game is pay-to-win. Just to clarify, Dragalia Lost is not a pay-to-win title. First, you can complete 99% of all the content in the game without even summon at all, you can just pull 3 stars (The characters with the least desirable stats) and still complete the content just as effectively as someone who has spent a fair share of money in the game albeit requiring more investment. Secondly, chances are that you’ll pull many good units anyways since Dragalia Lost has very generous pull rates compared to most other games with the similar summon mechanic (rates: 4% for a 5-star, 16% for a 4-star). Thirdly, Dragalia Lost is a PvE game, meaning that players cooperate with each other instead to fighting each other. This, in turn, means that even if experienced veterans of the game who has spent tons of money on getting the “best” units aren’t going to demolish new players in a PvP-like setting since there is no gamemode of that sort present in the game. Lastly, the developers (Cygames) are extremely generous in terms of giving out free wyrmite (one of the summoning currency). It is estimated that Cygames gives (on average) 10000 free wyrmite a month, which is enough for 8 tenfold summons, definitely more than that with all of the frequent events that they release. This review is not to say that Dragalia Lost doesn’t have its own flaws, all games do. It’s just meant to clarify that this game is not pay-to-win as some other reviews may suggest. Thank you for reading.
