The most epic clicker game of all time! As an idle game, the point of the Dragons is to ultimately have the game play for you. Master the art of tapping and not tapping. Easy to do – difficult to master. Become the greatest Dragon Master in all of time and space by tapping (er- or rather NOT TAPPING) your way to glory!
Raise your horde of dragons, Dragon Master!
This Roleplaying game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Are you a dragon lover? This game is worth it. Even if you just think dragons are slightly cool.
Raising dragons like these is petty awesome.
Its cool to watch the baby dragons grow up over time, and its a nice little time killer to play for a couple minutes to rest our brain.
Fun but akriloth is bugged so you cant upgrade his gem click power which makes him useless as you wont be able to upgrade him. Kind of annoying if you bought keys.
We only just found out about this game recently and have been having fun with it, but Ive noticed a decent amount of bugs (text only showing up half-onscreen, the background animations resetting until you buy an upgrade and they remember to animate again, the gems/second counter disappearing when you buy upgrades, etc.) and upon checking this game hasnt been updated in 5 years which is a huge bummer. We liked it enough to get $2 worth of keys for the cute cookie dragon, and probably would eventually buy more if there was some indication of life for development, but sadly it seems not to be the case :(.
This game is addicted but theres a bug with restoring purchases and crashes with the newer phones.
This game is dead and getting 100% on just one dragon is extremely time-consuming; even if you buy all the Offline Gems upgrades which can cost real money. Some dragon upgrades cant even be purchased. Please do not get this game unless theyve revived it. And no, micro transactions wont help at all.
AE games are one of our favorites to play on the PC. The mobile ones are no expections, either! Keep up the sweet work, AE.
We would have liked to give a full 5 stars because the game is fun and funny. But quite a few upgrades for all dragons but the first green dragon have bugs on them that prevent you from even seeing them let alone buying them. Which makes it hard to play the game and enjoy it especially if you wanted to get all the achievements. Please patch the game soon and fix the bugs please and thank you.
This is a very fun game but a problem we are having is that none of the upgrades for the tale of ichorus are showing up also the 50 upgrade for contagion is not showing up either.
The game fits our cell much better, but we can't catch falling keys and the do a good thing won't work for us. :.
A pretty nice game for when you have a few minutes to spare. The art and animations are well done but some of the dragon's heads will clip off the edge of the screen. The game has issues, like the lore book upgrades not appearing for some dragons (iirc the slime, shadow, ice and gold dragons, but probably others), the gems per second bar disappearing when you evolve/hatch dragons until you close the app, and if you get a dragon key from the click bonus that key is lost if you close the game. We put in a bug report about upgrades not appearing a year ago, but the bugs haven't been fixed. Hopefully with a bad review they might actually take notice.
We like this game its fun watching the dragons grow but you cant get any other dragons the the first three.
Worth it. We even bought the $10 thing for AQWorlds.
Very good hand exercise before anything with dexterity, like playing your most challenging/reflexive mobile game yet, Bio Beasts.
Add more dragons. Best game ever.
Most bugs are now fixed. There can still be lag past 3 dragons, and occasionally our green dragon upgrades will disappear. This goes away when we double tapped our home button, slid the app up to close it, and reopened the app. Other than that, which doesn't happen often, the game is incredible. The artwork and animations are ahead of their time, the jokes are hilarious, the stories for the dragons and upgrades make sense and are fun, etc. Clicking and waiting works well, but yeah, the apps are a huge shortcut. But that's what they are: a shortcut. You do not have to watch the ads. It is optional, and when you do, you don't have to pay anything. Some of the ads, like for clash of clans, are fun to watch, and some of the games recommended are actually great games. If you do play the ads, but don't want to watch, LOOK AT SOMETHING ELSE. Just check how much time, count down the 20, 15, or 30 seconds, and look at a pretty flower or something! And if you aren't Obsessive-Compulsive, and don't need "maximum ad watching efficiency", then just check every 30 seconds to start a new ad. And finally, if you just like watching ads, and are complaining about the dragons and gameplay, why the heck are you even here? Go look at AdWatch or YouTube or something.
We play the at worlds but this is EVEN BETTER this is a great game anyone will enjoy even those who play clash of clans and game of war DOWNLOAD IT.
Add code to get free key 2zt5n5sp.
It was the best game ever. Better than cookie clicker even, and the dragons were even animated! We loved the upgrade descriptions, so funny. But the game has suddenly stopped working :( it was fine yesterday but now whenever we open it it freezes. Please fix this we really don't want to delete this app :'( we also think that the dragons should give you more keys the farther you get. Like the slime dragon should give you 20 keys for the smoke dragon.
For being an AE game on the phone it's pretty good. We like it because it's a mind numbing game to play for a little bit.
Use code 65m38hfp to get bonus key.
We want Krumblor, so please put in our friend code. 36a5yj32.
It's an overall fun game, we enjoy it… Just wish the Slime Dragon's last evolution was fully added instead of a floating head with arms.
Pretty standard for an Idle Game, but the descriptions for the upgrades are hilarious Watching ads is more profitable than clicking could ever be, but it DOES limit how many ads you can watch a day, so clicking is still needed at times Also, add our friend code and get a free key (to our knowledge you can only enter one code): gft00z51.
As soon as we saw that Artix and the cookie clicker developers made a collab we just had to get this game. We wasn't disappointed: the addictiveness of cookie clicking and the hilarious upgrade names and descriptions make for a truly entertaining clicker. The graphics are pleasant to look at and makes us just adore the dragons with their smooth animations and designs, but the bugs in this game and requirement to watch ads or pay money to continue your dragon collection gives this game only 4 stars. The upgrade screen has a glitch that causes the upgrades to not be there and the only way to fix this is to restart the game. It's common and happens almost every time we open the app. It's also kind of strange how the adult form of the shadow dragon doesn't seem to fit our screen (an iPhone 6) so we can't even see its face… A little bit of a let-down. If these bugs are fixed and if we can finally see that glorious shadow dragon's face, we'd give this game 5/5.
The app sports the humor we've come to love from, AdventureQuest, but we're disappointed in some of the artwork. They're not all full-body as advertised, such as the slime dragon, who is appearing from behind something. This app is not up to par with the other AdventureQuest ones, but it's still worth a look.
We got this game and played it for a few days and it was great! Nice art and animation and an overall fun game. We were on our first dragon and had finally gotten the 10 keys. We immediately went and spent them on skills. Only until after did we realize that we were supposed to buy more dragons with the keys. Now we have no way of unlocking more dragons unless we restart, buy keys, or watch ads for the rest of our days. Very disappointed. :(.
Some of the achievements doesn't multiply or add to the value, like when we buy 50 of something. When that happen, all the achievements of the same type is disabled somehow. We wasted time reaching 100, but nothing happened. This issue occurred with most of our dragons mainly for last upgrade, the most important one. We hope there is an update soon fixing these problems. You deserve 5 stars, but only when you fix the bugs.
Clicking needs a buff, no human can click fast enough for it to be better than watching an ad. Yes, this includes the rocks that fall when you tap the gem enough. The only way to benefit from clicking is to spam click upgrades, but that doesn't allow you to get many other upgrades and you would probably get more by upgrading other things then watching an ad.
There are many bugs with this game. Sometimes the starter dragon does not move at all, and sometimes the gems falling in the background freeze as well. Also we have tried to buy akriloth but it says we don't have enough keys when we have thirty. Please fix this.
We like the game, but the issue with the upgrade screen not appearing is still there. This is not a minor thing. It happens in every session, requiring restarting the game. If this were fixed, we'd give 5 stars, because this is a great idle click game.
The game itself is great, but there are some bugs- the game often freezes, and requires a force shut down to restart. Also, switching back and forth between dragons occasionally causes the upgrade screen to be blank. If these things were fixed, we would have given five stars.
Also U guys missed a major bug, some story upgrades are still not appearing for some dragons. Listed: fluffy Slime Ice Gold Shadow Evil. PLZ fix these one of the best parts of this game is learning the stories and a large amount of them aren't appearing Version update: oh boy an update! With no context and no bug fix that's been around since the beginning. PLEASE read the reviews.
We've been playing this for awhile, we've had lots a fun and even spent $2 on the game. Just today we try opening the game and freezes right away, doesn't even crash. It keeps doing this anytime we open the app and we were forced to delete this game losing all our data. Even worse a restore of our purchase doesn't work no matter how long we wait or how many times a try. We're assuming they no longer support this game because the last they talked about it was 2 years ago so bye bye our money.
This used to be a fun way to pass the time, but now it's beyond glitches. We can't even get it past the opening screen now. It's been like this for months, and nosing of getting fixed. Rip.
We thought we'd give this game a try, but it wasn't exactly what we thought it was (the whole game consists of collecting gems?). We were expecting something more interactive–probably our mistake, since we've never played a Cookie Crumbler game before. We just leapt in because we saw Adventure Quest in the title and we're familiar with Artix Entertainment. 2 stars for captivating us for a few days though.
The game was awesome until the slime dragon got us only 10 keys we couldn't get any other dragons and now we have to watch ads for ten days to get 10 more keys and we're dreading how many ads we have to watch to get Dagron. Please fix.
This is stupid. We can't believe we have to have 1 trillion gems just get 10 stupid keys to be able get another dragon. It's taking FOREVER to get that many gems. You need to lessen the cost on keys so people can get new dragons easier. People don't have time to sit and tap a gem 1 trillion times. We got lives to live here.
We kept getting a blank screen that wouldnt go away no matter how many times we closed out of it. Happened every time Id load the game. Then suddenly the problems start happening OUTSIDE of the game, in the iPhone itself. We deleted the game from our phone and our GameCenter, hopefully that clears it out. But whoever theyre using to advertise has a problem with their adverts spreading malicious malware, so buyer beware! Otherwise, it was a decent game, much like CookieClicker, but the problems happened too soon for us to rate the game (same day as we downloaded it).
Once we got a few dragons going, we couldn't get the app to open without crashing within about 2 seconds. Restarted ipad, closed all other apps, nothing helped. Deleted.
A fun and interesting take on idle games. Add us: 6w41h356.
Loading screen is long but it's ok we get things done in that time but need battle on or dragon fable for ios.
Fun little idle game. A bit buggy and RNG-based (to get enough keys for later DRAGINS), but still a fun game with really nice art and good humor Enter our code, z05t60m1 :).
Nice. Good job. Wow. Great work. We love it.
Super fun to pass the time :) ADD ME ;D 027o8m8h.
