Discover Dragons like you’ve never seen before! Collect and care for hundreds of unique Dragons, uncovering their origins as they grow. From playful Cat Dragons to rare Bluebell Dragons, every new Dragon you hatch and raise brings this cozy, peaceful world to life. Long ago, Dragons filled this enchanted forest, thriving alongside nature. Each evolved into forms as diverse as the surrounding flora and fauna. Some shimmered with glittering scales, others were soft and furry, and some even bloomed with flowers or mushrooms. When nearby mining drove the Dragons away, fog crept in and the forest fell silent for years. Now, join Liv the Elf to lift the fog, summon the Dragons home, and help the forest sparkle with life once more. GAME HIGHLIGHTS * Summon Dragons: Help Liv mix elements, gems, and more to call Dragons of all shapes, forms, and rarities to your forest. * Raise Dragons: Hatch eggs, feed your Dragons, and help them grow into magical, bonded companions. * Collect Hundreds of Dragons: Discover a magical array of Dragons that evolved alongside nature. * Uncover Lore: Reveal charming legends and little-known facts about your Dragons. * Explore and Restore: Clear the fog and help the forest awaken with life, magic, and folkloric friends. * Decorate Your Forest: Adorn your forest with plants and decor that possess magical abilities to help you progress. * Missions and Events: Missions, updates, and limited-time events bring exciting new Dragons, décor, and rewards. There’s always something new to discover! If you love Dragons, cozy collection games, and relaxing adventures, you will be enchanted by Hatch Dragons. ***** Hatch Dragons is developed and published by Runaway.

Personality as a double edged sword… still great though
May 14

In terms of what’s been done before, Hatch Dragons has the same decent quality as other games like it in the developers’ portfolio. Ads are completely optional to watch and purchases costing real money aren’t totally necessary. I am annoyed by some dragons looking too much like their real animal counterparts, but that’s not so much a major problem with the game as it is my own petty biases affecting my experience.One thing I like a lot about this game is the more personal touch it adds, mainly because you can name your dragons once you have fully leveled them. However, this extra personality is also a double edged sword in that you can still sell max leveled dragons after you name them AND find ultra rare “variants” that can never be sold. This is a nice new level of challenge for those interested, but I would also prefer it if naming a normal variant dragon could prevent IT from being accidentally sold as well. After all, I spent lots of time grinding for them in order to get to the place where I could name them, and even with the ones too animal-like for my liking, I become attached after a while.As a side note, it would be fun if the bird creature could refer to any specific dragon species I have max leveled by their name if they’re needed for quests. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s an extremely difficult feature to include.

Love This Game, But…

I first started playing this game a few months ago and I’ve never felt this attached to a casual collection game since DragonVale. I love lineless artstyles so this game immediately caught my attention, and the events are simple and low stress, with beautiful dragons to collect (most of the time). Even some of the ‘vanilla’ dragons are gorgeous. My only complaint are the bugs, specifically a very nasty one I have to deal with sometimes.On occasion when I load into the game, the pop-up menus don’t open, including berry bushes, dragon nameplates, event windows, everything, making it virtually unplayable. Sometimes no audio exists except the music, too. When I restart the app to fix it, I will usually end up waiting for upwards of 5+ minutes just staring at the Runaway logo before the game even manages to reach the loading screen proper, and even then, sometimes the bug still persists and I have to restart the entire device to fix it. It’s probably because I’m on a somewhat older device (iPad Pro a few iOS updates behind), but I’ve never seen a game like this have an aneurysm this badly just trying to load into it.Aside from that once/twice a week seizure, the game is great and I especially appreciate the new content like the recently expanded areas to clear. That permanent patch of fog on the left we couldn’t remove before was bothering my OCD tendencies so much haha. I highly recommend this game, if your device can manage to load it each time, that is.

Fun, cute, but just a little feedback

Been playing for the past couple weeks. The art is cute and the game doesn’t make you actively play much which I appreciate for a gam of this style. A few things I hope for is that, certain event dragons come back in the future, ex the gemstone and mushroom dragons. They should cycle some of the old events back in as the incorporate new ones. Devs may have already planned to do that, but just wanted to mention it cause even after spending some money I couldn’t complete the event. Also, I feel like the dragon scaling is a little lacking, maybe the balancing of income wouldn’t work if they made upgrades exponentially. But from what I can tell, every dragon level up doesnt actually increase the coins/time but rather increases the amount of time it takes and coins proportionallyZ I feel like each level should have a slight improvement, it could be really small like just 2.5-5% per level but would still be nice. Also certain offers (like the purchase event level after the event ends, should not just be a 1 time pop up you open the game, but should instead be a offer that you have a couple hours for so you can decide the best course of action)

Great game but needs some help

One thing I can’t help but notice is the diminishing returns when it comes to food and income from dragons in relation to time. For example 1 with the food bushes you get 9 fruit on a 30 sec but then when you do 10 min you get 30 and you would expect as you increase the time you would get more fruit especially since it costs gold. It’s just not worth it. And as you upgrade your dragons they give a little bit more gold but it takes way longer so you end up having diminished returns as you upgrade, it’s kind of backwards. You could leave the gold gain the same and decrease the time or leave the time the same and increase the gold gain but it doesn’t make sense to have the final outcome worse for returns than you started. If this is to incentivize paying for upgrades and rapid finishes it doesn’t feel worth it in the slightest, why would you pay money when the value is worse than the free upgraded option? EditThank you for taking the time to respond to my review I genuinely like this game and I think that if the value of time to fruit was more it would fix the issues, as upgrading the tree increases the overall amount but not the problem. 9 fruit for 30 sec and 30fruit for 10 min if we spend 10 min making fruit going for the 9 fruit one you’ll have 180 fruit after 10 min compared to waiting for 10 min and only having 30 fruit

Developer Response
Thank you for such a detailed breakdown! 🐉 It's worth noting that Fruit Trees yield more per shift as you level them up, so the returns do improve over time. Your broader point about the balance of value is genuinely useful feedback and we appreciate you taking the time to share it so clearly.
