Dragons: Rise of Berk 4+

Amazing game however... (HATERS STOP)

This game is amazing and I love the hole (excuse my spelling grammar and vocabulary if ato correct doesn’t work) Idia of wasting ads to get runes and lose twenty minutes but I don’t like how it can say there is no (age appropriate) adds or it takes time for the twent minuet thing so basically if you could make it so you can watch the lose twenty minutes from timer thing acsesable from when you start building it and find unlimited (AGE APROPRIET) adds that would be cool (I’m also a bit annoyed bout the dragon riders club thing) but hey this is from 1 kid so just recommendations anyway bye. But all you hater stop I’m okay with waiting this is that game that you play turn off then play Minecraft or any Luther game also people saying this game is a money leecher 😑😑😑 just wow also parents that are hating on this game LET KIDS BE KIDS I SAVE MY MONEY FOR THIS GAME LET THEM HELP ROUND THE HOUSE AND GET MONEY FOR IT THIS CAN ALSO TELL THEM ABOUT THE REAL WORLD IN THIS DAY AND AGE NOTHING IS CHEAP OK!!!!!!!! Just had to let that out of my system course I hate how people don’t like the game and yell abuse at the owners who worked hard at this haters just if you hate don’t be mean if you have a suggestion then tell them ok for real this time bye 😌😌😌😌😌😌😌

Slight fall

I used to play this game a lot years ago and it was the only mobile game that I played, I never felt like I had to pay money(but I still did coz it was a good and fun game), one day the game crashed and I lost everything and I wasn’t able to get it back so I was put off the game for years.

Just earlier today I went back to start all over and was pleasantly surprised. Most of the good gameplay mechanics are still here and the new battles work really well but it’s a shame to see that every time that u log on and or exit a game menu, u get bombarded with pop up ads. In addition to this the game has been made a bit more ptw which is a shame but u can probably get by without paying much.

Overall it’s still a good experience with and the subscription service(although I was very sceptical at first seeing as it is a lot off money especially for one mobile game) is a good idea as if u take the game seriously(as I am thinking of doing), it allows u to get more for less over a longer time period. I think the game is almost as good as it once was but if there was one thing that would make it a five star experience, it would be to increase what u get out the regular micro transactions so that there is a reason to buy them rather then because u feel like u need to

Awful monetisation.

The game is alright, I used to play it a lot. However what I never realised is just how awful the game handles game progression for free to play players. Everything is slow and tedious. Want to upgrade this? Well, first you have to do this first. But to do this first, you have to do this first. But to do that first, you have to do this first.

So essentially to perform a task that should be straightforward, you have to wait days on end to finish it. Not to mention the constant money-grab offers shoved in your face to upgrade cards quicker or just progress forward in the game. Some things such as wood stacks and fish basins should not even have a capacity. You shouldn’t have to upgrade it. The ranked arena system in brawl is awful for free to play players, as they can have cards that are over 6 levels lower than their opponents. It’s extremely unfair. They can’t upgrade their dragons either, since, again, monetisation, card packs that cost 100 bajillion runes to get, and even then the cards that they get are left all completely to chance, and slow tedious processes that make the whole process incredibly unenjoyable. I understand that other games have that method of progression too, but this is just next level.

I don’t believe they’ll fix monetisation and pay-to-win behaviour unless there’s a management change or something.
