This is how mobile games are supposed to be: simple, but fun and relaxing. The core gameplay is really similar to Dragon Cave(a old dragon virtual pet browser game), but has a lot of other features. Like pvp, fishing, base designing, minigames, and alliances. The art style and animations are really nice. The dragon designs are diverse and fun to look at. ZERO grinding is required for getting good stuff. There’s no pressure and low stakes, making this game a relaxing experience. The microtransactions are not shoved in your face unlike most games you’ll find on the app store, which I really love. I also feel like the developers are taking community feedback seriously, which is also wonderful. Watching ads is required for some things, but they’re few and far between, so they don’t impact the experience at all. I hope this game becomes successful, because we need more like this.Three main flaws after playing for a few days:Some of the features are poorly explained due to lack of detail, this is a big problem for the combat system, which I’m still figuring out. And as far as I can tell, there’s no guild chat, and there seems to be no purpose in joining a guild. The number of basic features that require watching an ad each time is annoying. There should be an option to pay five dollars to remove ads completely.

This game is a solid 8/10 for those who are looking for relaxed gameplay and cool-looking dragons. The developers provide frequent updates, and the events are fun and engaging. There are some activities within the game that are a bit questionable, such as the fishing and the new village building gameplay, though I wouldn’t say it negatively impacts the game. There’s a little bit of everything in Dragon Village Collection, though the game really does live up to its name— it makes you want to collect every dragon you can. There are some setbacks, such as the fact that some dragons (specifically the Emart24 dragons) are only available for those in certain regions (Korea) and the storyline is a bit difficult to follow when it comes to specific dragons due to translation errors. With new updates, oftentimes not everything is translated yet, but the developers offer tamers the ability to put in suggestions to fix such errors, and they are resolved relatively quickly. All in all, this is a fun game that is a good addition to the Dragon Village series. The graphics and designs are unique, and there are dozens of dragons to collect, with more being added regularly. I would highly recommend this game for its diversity in gameplay and the experience it offers.

The insane frequency of updates to this game are making it feel very diluted. Nearly every week there is a massive amount of content added, and that’s awesome, but no one can keep up with it! I’ve invested quite a bit of money into this game already and it’s starting to feel like everything is losing its value because something bigger and better is out the next day, especially with how hard this game makes you work to get personalities and lineage on top of the fact that it’s kiiiinda pay to win. (Aka you get infinite refreshes when paid for and that’s the ONLY way to keep up with macro users.) Maybe string out the new updates a little farther apart. I never want to complain about new content in games, but nothing can run its course and it feels pointless to keep up with new things when the next dragon will be introduced with some more complicated mechanics, after I already barely learned the old ones. The pace really just needs to be adjusted, ESPECIALLY with the fact that the updates to this game causes the server to be down for over FOUR HOURS! A four hour server maintenance should not be this frequent, and it’s making the game feel unreliable and well… not very fun, when you get snapped out of playing because the servers are down AGAIN… I love this game but please please please fix the pacing of updates as well as maintenance times to the servers!

Now don’t get me wrong, goblin market is fine, but the issue is the bidding end of things. Out of the total runs it has had i have only had two successful bids on two dragons and sold at least 10 dragons and won a fortune. The problem with the bidding is the function, as it broke for me last time. I was bidding and after it hit the point where no one could bid i had the highest bid on it, but it gave it to someone else. To say i was defeated was an understatement. Calling it a market when all you do is bid doesn’t exactly feel fair, as bidding is in auctions, not often in markets, unless you have a reason for this? I simply have a small idea: auto buy, for certain prices(like maybe 20,000 and up?) and only after a dragon has under 5 hours left, so you’re not having to fight with someone else. Unfair? A little bit, but after the glitch I’ve mostly given up on participating in goblin market. I love the game, and the cute dragons, i just want the goblin market to be a little less annoying to use and deal with. I don’t ask you use my idea, it was a simple suggestion to maybe test and see if it works out with the community. Overall, would have given four stars if the game wouldn’t crash so often, mostly happens when i have to like villages for a mission or when i change mine. Sorry for the lengthy review, just felt like i needed to say these things.
