Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This game is cool but they need to make getting dragons easy cause like we have to you thousands of our coins for parts of the egg and its hard cause you get a lot and spend all of it.
This is Chess a great strategy game for the mind but in a different format. Love the dragons and events.
This game is just amazing we like the mechanics and how you can attack the people you want and we love the challenges.
Definitely one of best games Ive played on our phone.
Fun but pricey better if you have money to burn to keep up with the bigger teams PG does seem to favor the money Diamond teams but they and the Diamond teams deny it.
We keep playing for the challenges the game gives.
Im about to get the game but we want to know if you like, walk around and find dragon eggs and tame dragons.
We love this game so much. Some things that would make it better would be better looking upgrades for your things. We dislike leveling up our sheep farm so much just for it to look so rinky dink like it did at level 1. Things should evolve as we level them! We know the weapons do but not very noticeable IMO. This also goes for the the main castles (dragon incubator, breeding castle, training den etc..) Also being able to view clan mates islands! More customization for our own islands, and a way to gain access to expired portraits! Maybe even a way to put your own you make. Also a way to earn evolution stones instead of just buying them, thank you.
Our game wont load please help we want to play this game so bad.
Ive had this game for awhile now and we dont know what happened after the last update but every single time we load the game and go into an event we cant leave it unless we stop the game and re-launch the game, please if this is something on the developer end please fix asap we truly do enjoy playing this game.
Theres gotta be an event or multiple use pearl that can level up an dragon. Including dragons of past events.
If you download this game now, there is no catch up mechanism other than spending a lot a lot a lot of money, so be ware. We have been playing since 2017. We have stayed because of friendships only not for the game. The maintainers of this game allow the top 50 players to dictate rule changes to manipulate game play. Dragons/Riders are constantly changed after being issued/purchased. And everything is the players fault if you ever ask for help. The system goes down with minimal compensation. The system is quite laggy except for the larger teams when in battle. Frequently players are banned if not liked by the top elite. It has become an unfair game with too many advantages to the elite teams. This game would be much better with fair game play that doesnt cater to the top team. For example, if that team doesnt like a rule they have it changed regardless of the number of smaller teams impacted. We understand top teams are top for a reason but when the maintainers of the game literally change rules for them upon request, that is unfair.
Ive been playing for a while and the bugs that are slowing game down are ten times worse now than they have ever been. Delays on everything from atlas play to simply claiming in game prizes. We enjoy the concept but to much is slipping thru the cracks and not being corrected as quickly as we thought it would be handled.
We hope this game changes a little bit. We should see something new. Thank you.
Thus Shintoism is a freakin fun dam game.
Ive played this game a long time on and off. Probably 3 years or so. Its an awesome game good events we enjoy it keeps you active with weekly events and plenty to do! An amazing choice of different dragons and all the new ones that come out each season. The one thing we would like to see are some good old school dragons come out that is cleared for the new cipher tier. Like tarrand and sage and of course others. When we started Sage was our first event dragon and Ive always wanted to see how that dragon could be maxed out. We just feel without adding tiers to him to keep him updated with the defenses it would be pointless but you all know that. Everyone keeps this game running great and very few bugs Ive ever experienced over all great game 10 stars(it only lets us rate 5and shout out to the community of this game everyone helps everyone and just keeps it interesting. Clash of clans took their global-league chat out of the game and we instantly uninstalled so whatever you decide to do please keep LC. Interacting with others also keeps this game alive. We love it.
This game does require dedication. Its very complex and full of challenges. Its also a lot of fun to meet players from all over the world.
Ive been playing for years. Probably the most addictive game Ive played since we were a kid in the 80s.
We played this game for years and spend a lot but we didnt see the game as a pay to play game. We spend money on it because the features we got made us enjoy the game. We met our wife because of this game. Shes a much better and stronger player than us btw. We both have hence quit playing the game. We didnt like atlas but the rest of the game is very well made.
We had to pay to keep playing the game. It told us it had to like update our storage or something, but it told us that we had to pay to do it so we stop playing this game for a while, but the graphics are really good and its just a fun game.
There seems to be a few glitches in this game during Crystal Cave event, we are not even able to fight when our team is matched with a higher ranking team, leaving us unable to collect any points and finish our missions. Really disappointed and hope they fix this soon.
Ive played war dragons for years and its always been an enjoyable experience, and the game play and players are always up to date;and the interaction is amazing… Thank you for the experience.
The graphics for being a free game are fantastic, its got many things to do. Great game overall but the times for waiting for stuff can be annoying when you need one thing to be able to do another thing to continue. There are many different types of dragons, colors, raritys and models. Love this game, we have been playing this game for hours on end.
This is a very entertaining game But for some reason we cant participate in any season Over all very good game Update: got the problem fixed simple issue that we were able to fix quite easily And we dont know why people said this has bad customer service its great thx.
The production value is top notch. It's a well done game that is not overly complex but intricate enough to lose yourself into. Fun and enduring.
We can only have the choice of 2 mythic dragons, but still need 20 keys. At least go back to the old amount of sigil per dragon. And it make it a tad bit easier for new players since you give less options.
Been playing for 8 years. Enjoy the social aspect of the game. The programers need to come up with some new events. Its the same old same old. But when they do make changes its endless glitches. The game has also taken a hierarchy turn. Its no longer fair to all teams to play Atlas. Smaller teams are forced to stay small and bigger teams are free to roam and monopolize Altas.
Ive unfortunately stepped away from this game for a very long time. Had this game on another account and had played for years as a kid, loved every minute of it. Started working full time after school and we just stepped away. Finally came back after a long time to see how the game had changed, whats new and if its still as fun as we remembered it as a kid. Does not disappoint. We remember having some really high-tier dragons and having a lot of fun in the fight, so Im looking forward to going back on the grind and having fun with this again. Heres to another run.
This game has a lot of issues but we will not talk abt that but we keep crasshing but this game is amazing y'all keep it up! But we will retire Frome this game we've made it to lvl 485! Good luck to all have an amazing day.
We love this game but there is a few problems with it. 1. Pack members can visit your base and not raid it but view it. We think we have a really good base and we want our team members to see it so bad! 2. When your looking at what base you want to raid, there is a few things that come to mind. Make there a spot where you can search up players or see all of them at once, and there would be a way to sort them A-Z Low To High High To Low 3. Make a way to claim expired portraits! Soon, the Drakesbane season will end, but we want Calibrax as our profile thing Make their a way to get portraits after they dissapear! Please! That's it.
Please bring back Tap Pet Hotels, Please.
The graphics on this game are amazing and even on the rare occasions that there were glitches they were immediately fixed. There are purchases, but you dont necessarily actually need them to grow big which is rare in a game like this and most of the stuff if you want to make purchases is very Reasonably priced. All around this is a great game. We have a lot of fun with it and we like being able to actually participate when we attack somebody elses base and have a say in how that attack goes.
First off the wood storage should be higher the time of the storage wood is a lot we cant afford that good game tho.
No one will fight us but we really want the shrine.
Ive played this game for over 8 years now, we love it and the team is super active in support and community events. The only problem with the game is the inflation of event rewards / prices, unless you are playing 10+ hours a day or spending hundreds of dollars its nearly impossible to get through even half the available rewards. If it was a little more accessible for people who cant play so much and optimized for casual gamers it would be 10/10.
Im giving a 3 star instead of 5 star. The stars are given bc of the friends Ive made along the way. The game is run by pg which are a good group of ppl BUT so many things are overlooked. We are unsure if the technical issues keep them busy but an atlas re-imagined NEEDS to happen! The game has changed from basic crafting shards that we gain by attacking beasts in atlas and in rewards earned by competing/participation in events. However, in order to get really competitive gear we dont use those shards any more, except to exchange them in the trading post. In addition, the atlas area has outgrown its need. WAAAYYY too many castles are being dropped, left, empty- ghost town vibes thats turned into pirates playground – NOT how things were supposed to be! We hear so many players discussing the thrill is gone. Give us a reason to stay.
We love playing the game. Im on everyday fighting and leveling up our dragons. But we cant defend ourselves from attacks nor join in on them or even help defend a teammate. Its something Ive been really hoping gets resolved.
Hello, we dont receive eggs or resources after completing mission. Do you guys still fix the bug ? Or have you all given up on the game and so should we.
You would think after playing for over 5 years, they would come out with new events. NOPE. Same boring events with the same boring prizes. Developers, do better.
Llevo varios aos jugando y siento que no estamos avanzando nos quedamos en lo mismo , no hay opciones para comprar las piedras para evolucionar nuestros dragones , no hay cambios significativos la verdad el juego se vuelve un poco aburrido, espero que mejoren ese aspecto tener la posibilidad de evolucionar nuestros dragones aunque sea comprando un paquete de piedras evolutivas!!! Aadan otras cosas porque llego desde el 2016-2017 y nada ha cambiado.
This game is a lot of fun. With its fun mechanics like wars, events and more its a very enjoyable experience. However, to advance in the game you have to level up and to do that you have to spend materials to level up your islands buildings. And this is what is the issue it takes SO LONG just to upgrade buildings. You can counteract this with timers and gems but the time for these upgrades are insane. We HAVE TO WAIT 16 DAYS JUST TO LEVEL UP A BUILDING ONE TIME!! And you cant even level up more than one building at the same time bc you have to buy Premium which is such a huge advantage. This is our rant overall: great game but takes forever to do anything and it pisses us off. We hope the devs may read this.
Ive played for many years now and loved this game a lot but when u hit a higher level u lose interest. The game doesnt change at all ( no new cool updates ) making it rather boring over time. There are a lot of glitches that are months old that havent been fixed. When collecting chest we have to restart our game at least 5-8 tike to actually collect them all, if you do them all at once it crashes and you have to start over. Sure we have rotating events but its just the same thing over and over again. We love the dragons, some have copied bodies which is fine. The best part about this game is meeting new people, met many amazing people.
We think that it is kinda boring and that it takes to long to do anything.
Playing since 2015 and this is the only game we have been at this long Love the game and the different people we have met we. The game.
We love this game. We like how there are new dragons every event. We just wish there was a way to be able to get our past mythic dragons able to evolve further.
The game is good and enjoyable we just wish that the concerns of the lower players and heard and addressed as they are the biggest part of the game. Also that atlas chests are more pleasing and prize tiers like the a avatars are more affordable!!!!!! But we enjoy it and egg token payouts increase and for the sake of the game create a scorpiandragon!!!!!!!!! We wish you make all castles the ability to max at level 5 or the highest its set. All castles!!!!! Lets make atlas fair…….. Let all castles lvl to 5 so the bully teams are neutralized and cant conquer castles!!!!!! Lastly pocket gems next update work on not allowing wars on teams that have under 50 players. Wars must have equal players on both sides or u cant declare so make the game great AGAIN.
We have been playing this game for many years. Its a fun game and we have made many friends over the years. As time progresses, the game has less incentives to play daily. The cost of prizes has definitely become inflated! We feel it is difficult to obtain the great rewards, even with playing daily. Also, the glitches in the game are excessive. Overall, we enjoy the game and will continue to participate, ut it would be nice if the cost for prizes was more affordable.
It is lots of fun but always having glitches favor players that pay over just having fun.
We love this game but the devs just cant seem to fix a simple glitch that makes it where the game thinks you have no internet connection even if you have WiFi, have full bars of data service, and have no game updates pending. Seriously getting frustrating now because it is a good game. And now they wont let us play saying that an update is required but there is no update.
