Community Insight:
We want the light fury to be free bc it our fav and our kids are trying to buy it and almost did . But the game is sooooo cool our kids love it sooo much.
We love this game because you get to unlock new dragons and you get to build your own Berk and you can participate in special events like you can earn the gronkle from the live action movie. Sorry, it was a typo. Also, we unlocked the new battle mode.
This game is so fun and we love it but the. Light fury is so expensive.
This game is way too fun to play especially when you are bored it captures the httyd movie vibes.
We love this game it has almost no adds.and it is so much fun and so realistic.
Add the crimson goregutter as a official toothless search.
We love this game we cant spend like ten minutes without playing it so good and we love it its perfect for a httyd fan.
We are a How to Train Your Dragon fan from China. There are many players in this game in China, but they all suffer from the lack of Chinese, so the playing process is very difficult. If you see this evaluation, you may consider adding Chinese, even if you use machine translation. It is good, after all, it is better than nothing.
This game made our dreams come true to making a berk of our own and exploring island we also love how we can find the alphas and queens along hatching our favorite dragons from the series we love this add on and this is our review why it gets a five star.
We love the dragons and we love the like the real version of storm fly meat lug hook fang barf and belch and toothless they look so cool. Also, we also love the other dragons because its so cool.
We love this game it is so fun to play.
Ive played this game since like the early days, but why does it have to be pay to play? Like we get yall need to make money but make it so you have just pay for the app and play and unlock though skill. Its total bull that on the new challenges or duties you collect so many sticks but the baby light fury is more then what you earn of all of it. Also 20% off of a pack that costs 50 bucks IS NOT A DEAL! Im not rich sorry lol.
We like this game and their other game, but can the creators bring back the sod? We had it on our other device but we tried to download it on this one and it wasn't available and it said that they shut it down so please bring back sod.
Always loved how to train your Dragon since we were a kid, but we didnt know. We love it as an adult too.
Only downside is no epilepsy mode for brawl. Be careful when you use the deadly nadders spike shot.
Theres a bug that the ad was for Jurassic World the game.
This game is a lot of fun, however unfortunately we have run into a lot of glitches recently with it including, a dragon in gauntlet evasion glitching by evading every attack, certain effects that dragons will apply in gauntlet and brawl that sometimes wont work (not because of evasion) and our HUD just disappears sometimes when we are trying to click on dragons on Berk to bring up their menus, we do also want to mention although we understand the gauntlets are designed so novice and advanced players can both enjoy them, it is rather disappointing that some of the battles you just cant win, even with a really good dragon team. (we are aware of the action rush and spark fruits that allow you to progress better in the gauntlet) we do have a fully updated app, other than that we do like this game quite a bit.
We searched how to train your Dragon and this was the only game we found it took us months to find it so youre lucky. Open it for free now.
We were playing this game for awhile, and we have spent a decent bit of money on it, which we dont mind, as there isnt really a game similar on iphone or pc to our knowledge. Within the last few months, the game has locked us out of our google account. We have all our achievements still attached to the account, but we cannot load in as it pops up as an error every time we try. Very disappointed in the current situation.
We honestly do enjoy this game for what its worth. But dont you guys think its time to stop with the ludicrous prices and macro transactions on everything? Its outrageous how much things cost in this game, and moving forward is super slow unless you finally give in and spend actual money for bonuses that, quite honestly, arent even worth it and dont make progress that much more efficient. Also paying anywhere from $10-50 or even more than that for dragons is insane. This game is going to die very quickly. Many games do after the hype dies down and consistent players finally get tired of overpriced in-game purchases being shoved down their throats (nevermind the fact this game has already been around for over a decade and is past its prime). After School of Dragons shut down, this is really the only HTTYD mobile title left. We just wish they cared more about the fans, but its always about money at the end of the day.
Game is pretty fun, with the exception of having to spend hundreds to get anywhere. The fact they charge 20$ and up for every single thing including the five different style passes you can pay for. Its rediculou. Save yourself the money and the time and avoid.
HIW DOES THIS GAME NIT HAVE 5 STARS. Ok we got a bit dramatic but this is a awesome game we highly recommend it.
Hi we are in love with this game it is just today it said we have no Wi-Fi we checked the Wi-Fi and we had it please fix it.
We love httyd and mostly the dragons we love the idea of technically owning dragon we thought this would be a low level game but then we heard you can battle the dragons and more points were added but still low expectations we got it and we were BLOWN away with not really visually pleasing graphics but if you get over those and look at the game play totally awesome game!!!!!! 10/10 5stars 100% and any other thing that means maximum rating and it is free to play but there is a premium path if you want to pay.
Paying money will help, but is certainly not required. Never will put you up against people of a higher level in brawl due to it all being against cpus. Virtually no ads, all of them are optional.
As a big fan of how to train your dragon this game is a great game for people who love the franchise, it puts together all the movies and the shows and in the game when there are limited time dragons it personalizes a few dragons and we love that and we would recommend this game to all of our friends.
This is one of our favorite games. But here are some recommendations. We really want the season premium pass, but we dont wanna pay $9 or $49 just to get the reward and lose the premium by the next season. At least keep it on for 3 or maybe 5, its literally worthless paying nearly $50 just to get more rewards. Also, in the Book of Dragons, we would like to have a Sort by Rarity option, and, if you can, a Sort by Letter option where you get dragons that start with a certain letter. (By species, which includes the custom dragon characters.) Anyway, we love this and Im looking forward to more updates in the future.
We like just started but we can tell this is going to be our favorite game ever.
If you want a fun game and really like how to train your dragon this is the game you want.
Oh our gosh this game is so fun. You might think its boring but just wait until you open brawl. Then attack and journeys!!! This is like the best game ever.
We got the game, not too long ago but the moment we were on that every moment we could we play pretty much every day and its so fun so if you like how to train your Dragon play this game.
Our boys and we all play it and enjoy being competitive in rising Berk to greatness.
Please add the light fury and night lights.
Its just so fun but you are missing some dragons.
This is the best game we have ever played we play it a lot, we love the gameplay, looks and how we get toothless at the beginning whoever made this game can you pls make a httyd alive so toothless can come to the real world.
Hello everyone we just want to say that this game is amazing and we swear there is no ads unless you need to earn something like speeding up a build and we cant stop playing this game and it is 100 percent a boredom destroyer so if you want the best game then download this game NOW.
So we have not played this at all but we love it! So let us explain, we watched the dragon stuff a lot and when we saw this game we immediately loved it. It's so much like the movies and shows even the names are correct! We highly recommend this if you like dragons like us.
ADD STOICK THE SINGETAIL FROM RACE TO THE EDGE.
The game is really fun and we love the franchise so much and its our favorite movie. Im excited for the new game thats gonna come out how to train your Dragon journeys gonna be so fun. We bet this game is also really fun. Ive got the green death and thats all the legendary Ive got but its awesome. Its awesome. This game is one of our favorite things to do after a long day. We definitely recommend this game if you love dragonsI could say this is the best game on the App Store.
The game is great but we really wish you could fly the dragons.
Very fun kills your phone battery though but fun.
Theres over a lot of dragons and its really hard to beat it, but we were very good at it and thats why this game is for children that have seen the movie real life and the other movies and shows and like dragons. Its its a good game. We read six stars if we couldits a great game.
We love this game and we are glad to have gotten a legendary dragon because it took us forever to get it! We hope we can get some Stormcutters we love them theyre so cute.
We love the game but the green death is a ripoff of the red death.
We love this game so much it is the best how to train your Dragon game. No one can tell us otherwise but we have a green death and we have a screaming death and we have a whispering death but what about the red death? Like we thought there was a red death like in the original movie. But we love the game otherwise its absolutely perfect.
Loves it very much Ch how we can brawl and with the events and how we have to wait for seasons and taht we have to level up the dragons and train them and get them to collect wood and fish and the card packs are awesome and how we have to upgrade the main hall to be Abel to upgrade everything else and hwo we can get legendary dragons like the red death and we wish so badly there would be more how to train your dragon games like you have to build your own dragons edge or another game where you can play as a dragon hunter and get all hide like vaggo or dagger and you need get have dragons to help build the ships and cages so plz plz plz plz make a game like that.
We love this game it is amazing you get to learn so much about the dragons.
This game is sooo fun! We play it all the time, but, we would like if you could make a character that is the person who raises the dragons and the ability to ride and fly them.
So listen it is amazing buuuuut we feel like that you should get better amounts of runes from almost anything.
We rlly love this game we love taking care of the dragons and making our own berk, but we wish we could ride the dragon that would be awesome all in all we love this game.
