There’s a lot I love but definitely wish they would improve it more, although I doubt they will considering the release of Dragon Village 3 (which I will be checking out). My main issues are the lack of translations for all of the help sections, so if you don’t know Korean, you won’t learn a lot about how to do certain things unless you manually translate it! Also, to get strong dragons you have to grind hard and stay up to date on what’s considered good. However, I’m a VERY casual player so this doesn’t bother me too much. I’m sure the nostalgia is talking but I do love this game, it has more beautiful art than many of the “collector” games out there. Definitely starting a 2nd account so I can re-learn the story! ### 3/5 — [Issue] Quest Item "Dream Shard (Yellow)" Not Dropping *2026-04-10, version 6.9.2* Hi, I'm stuck on the quest "Obtain Dream Shard (Yellow) in Starlight Coral Leaf." I have cleared this stage over 100 times, but the material still hasn't dropped. Is there a bug or is the drop rate extremely low? Please help! ### 2/5 — dv2s3 *2026-02-08* bring back dragon village two season three :( graphics music n gameplay were much more enhanced. the newest n continued one, dvm is very very cool but i genuinely like dv2 better. **Developer response:** Hello Tamer, Thank you very much for your deep affection and warm words for Dragon Village 2. However, we regret to inform you that there are currently no plans to relaunch Dragon Village 2. Other titles in the Dragon Village series, each with their own unique charm and personality, are still being serviced, so we hope you will continue to enjoy new adventures and fun with dragons through those games as well. We will do our very best to repay your support with content and service that can further satisfy you in the future. Thank you once again for leaving us such a heartfelt review. ### 3/5 — Please revise the Chinese translation *2025-11-26, version 1.1.336* Many functions are not translated, making them hard to be understood ### 5/5 — This game is incredibly fun *2025-07-26* This game is complex, and although it takes some time to understand, I truly recommend playing it! **Developer response:** Hello, Tamer! Thank you so much for enjoying Dragon Village and for recommending it, even appreciating its complex systems. As you mentioned, it might feel a bit complex at first, but you'll gradually get used to it and experience even more fun and strategic elements! We'll continue to provide ongoing updates and improvements to bring you even greater satisfaction. Thank you for spending your valuable time with us! ### 5/5 — 2018 *2025-07-24, version 1.1.313* Hi, ive played this game for ages. I love this game and dv2. Is there any way you will be bringing dv2 back? ### 4/5 — It’s pretty good *2025-06-08, version 1.1.305* But I think you should add more dragons. ### 4/5 — Not as good as I remember *2025-05-18, version 1.1.303* This game used to be peak mobile gaming, nowadays tho I think there are better games with similar mechanics. Still I’m getting huge nostalgia from playing it and I must say I do somewhat enjoy it. ### 3/5 — Missing a lot of love *2025-05-16* Hi highbrow, got a few things to get off my chest. First off where is the love for older dragons, some just end with capsule forms while others are missing advents forms, love that you are adding new dragons(even though I don’t know to obtain 50% of them) but we need love to the ones that came first. Second guides and translation issues, we all been there walk into archa raids and getting kicked for not knowing the bosses weakness, can’t talk since you don’t know korean and the game isn’t telling you what to do unlike the regular raid bosses that tell you the bonus and what element or hybrid does what right off the bat. We need a ui that tells us what type of dragon we need in archa even if it’s a little encrypted to have the player think. Third and if you want to ignore this last one but please take the first two into consideration, making the player able to salvage dragons that can’t achieve a 7.0 grade(using them for making jin awaken or advent is just overwhelming expensive making when they are not perfect) you don’t understand(you probably do) getting a dragon that is about to reach it final stage and oop you weren’t paying attention or something that happened to me earlier with my ONE SINGLE demonio, I was auto leveling up and down, I clicked to the home screen came back and it leveled up again even though it didn’t get a perfext level up the first time and now I had a demonio(my child ready fight with it’s family) who’s grade was not perfect turning into a scraped project that took over hundreds of diamonds worth of level ups and downs **Developer response:** Good day! Thank you for your valuable opinion 😁 I'll give your opinion to the development team. I can't give you good news right away, but I'll try to provide you with a better game. Best Regards, Dragon Village ### 5/5 — 드래곤빌리지야 영원하라! *2025-03-16, version 1.1.291* 안녕하세요! 저는 드래곤빌리지를 아주 재밌게 즐기고 있는유저입니다 최근 제가 친구들에게 드래곤빌리지를 깔아보라고 하여 현재까지도 친구들과 같이 하고 있는데요! 근데 저희친구들이 드래곤빌리지가 너무 좋아하고 즐겨하지만 등급을 지키기가 어려워하더라고요…ㅠㅠ 그래서 등급이 잘 내려가지않는게 업데이트 되면 좋을거 같아요!! 친구들이 계속 어렵다면서 계정을 새로 만들며 드래곤빌리지를 하는게 일상이더라고요 그리고 그래픽을 올려주시면 진짜진짜 좋을거 같아요! 한친구가 그래픽이 너무 구지다고 해서 마음이 아팠어요 ㅠㅠ 그래도 저랑 합쳐서 5명 친구들이랑 드래곤빌리지 캠페인이라는 오픈채팅방도 만들고 드래곤빌리지가 망하지않으면 좋겠다는 신념으로 하루하루 누리랑 즈믄이랑 친구들과 함께 모험하고 있어요 대규모 업데이트도 하고 게임의 난이도를 조금 낮춰주시는게 정말 도움이 될거 같아요! 앞으로도 드래곤빌리지 열심히 할게욤!! :)) ### 2/5 — Need to fix this *2025-02-23* Cannot log-in with apple for official website which you need for fame **Developer response:** Hello, Tamer. First, we apologize for any inconvenience caused by the lack of App Store account login support on the Dragon Village website. We have requested improvements regarding website login issues and will do our best to make Dragon Village even better. ### 4/5 — Original Years Ago? *2025-02-20* I remember the art use to be better, the fights were faster and the game was overall smoother. Now a days, I have returned for good nostalgia, but now I see only a disappointing turn of events. It does not feel like the lovable game I remember, but instead feels like a cheap knock-off, which is even more odd as I know this is the developers of the game! I love it still, but definitely not as much as I did a few long years ago. **Developer response:** Hello, Tamer! It's been a while, and we're sorry to have disappointed you. Please submit your improvement suggestions to our customer support through the in-game settings. We will do our best to make improvements. ### 5/5 — 中文 *2025-02-06, version 1.1.286* 請問中文哪裡設定 ### 5/5 — 게임 접속 불가 *2025-01-31, version 1.1.285* 안녕하세요 2018년도 부터 공식적으로 열심히 게임하는 유저입니다. 한달전쯤 부터 안드로이드9버전 이하는 게임 로그인 창이 뜨지않아서 게임 접속조차 못하는 상황입니다. 이전에 두번 문의했지만 노력하겠다는 말만 주시고 한달이 넘어간 지금 아무런 조치도 없네요. 아무래도 계속 안되다보니 드래곤빌리지를 플레이하는데 아니 플레이를 못하고있습니다. 옛날폰 쓰는 유저들의 배려를 해주시면 감사하겠습니다. 이래도 안고쳐지면 어쩔 수 없지만 혹시나 해서 작성해봅니다. ### 3/5 — Capsule arena bug *2025-01-17, version 1.1.282* Crashes game ### 5/5 — 재발 부탁입니다 *2024-12-29, version 1.1.280* 옛날에 드빌을 아주 재밌게 즐겼던 유저입니다 요즘 할만한 게임이 없어서 오랜만에 드빌이 생각나 한번 깔아봤는데 너무 실망했습니다 그래픽도 그대로고 비율도 옛날 그대로이고 유저 유입은 커녕 기존 고인물 유저들도 오랜 정이 아니었다면 모두 떠나갔을 것입니다 저는 다시 드빌을 처음 했던 그 느낌을 받고 싶습니다 시스템 전면 개편 업데이트 라던지 아니면 이상한 컬렉션 이런거 만들지 마시고 다시한번 드빌 새롭게 출시해 주셨으면 합니다 드빌 팬으로써 간곡히 부탁합니다ㅠㅠ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 。。。 *2026-01-27, version 1.1.350* 一直不讓我合成龍蛋是怎樣 ### 1/5 — Biybhibiy *2026-01-21, version 1.1.348* Má ### 1/5 — 詐騙遊戲 *2025-03-17, version 1.1.292* 說有中文卻無法設定中文！ 反應了幾年了，一直都沒有改善 ### 1/5 — 沒中文 *2024-12-14, version 1.1.279* 資訊上說有進遊戲卻沒有辦法設定 ### 1/5 — cant sign in to facebook *2024-03-04, version 1.1.233* fix the login button for facebook ### 1/5 — 드빌2는 *2023-11-27, version 1.1.213* 드빌2나 다시 내주세요 ### 1/5 — I can’t even log in… *2023-08-07, version 1.1.192* For whatever reason, I can’t even log into this game.

The box is blank, showing ‘no dragon is available’ . Now I have stuck in the mission because it requires me to upgrade one dragon’s skill Pls fix it ### 5/5 — 요즘 너무 재밌어요 *2026-03-10, version 6.5.0* 예전에는 5일차때 1달동안 스토리 스킵 잘못해서 게임 못들어간 레전드 버그 걸린 적 있는데 다시 키 잡으니까 잘 돌아가서 다행이네요 하나 조언 해주자면 재탕이어도 상관 없으니 이벤트 꾸준하게 열어주시면 될 거 같음 초보자들이 아이템 수급하는데에 한계가 있어서 2강림도 겨우 찍을까 말까예요 ### 5/5 — 14년을 함께 했습니다. *2026-02-16, version 6.2.1* 어렸을 때부터 하면서 이 게임만큼 정 든 게임도 없고, 이 게임만큼 많이 돌아온 적도 없습니다. 근데 이번에도 생각이 들어 정말 오랜만에 들어왔는데 인터페이스, ui는 개선해야 될 필요가 있다고 생각합니다. 게임성만큼은 매우 좋지만 요즘 나오는 핸드폰 비율들에 잘리는 게임 화면과 8년을 넘게 우리고 있는 게임 화질들은 이 게임성을 묻히게 합니다. ### 5/5 — Tower of proof *2026-01-21, version 1.1.348* Love the game, love the concept, honestly love everything about it. But one thing I’m really struggling with is the Tower of Proof. I’ve been stuck there for about three weeks now. At first, I thought the problem was my dragons, so I trained and built more of them. But even after that, I still can’t beat it. I’m currently stuck on Floor 47, where my dragons basically can’t do anything at all. I really hope you guys can consider lowering the difficulty a bit — maybe cap it at Floor 40, or make the enemy dragons slightly weaker. but it’s frustrating when I can’t progress anymore because of this tower. I hope you can understand, since English isn’t my first language. That’s all. Love from Malaysia. Much love ❤️ ### 5/5 — 이것만 추가해 주세요 *2025-12-17, version 1.1.342* 안녕하세요 드빌을 즐기고 있는 어린 유저 입니다. 핸드폰에 시간 제한이 있습니다.그래서 드빌을 할 때 전투가 길어 시간이 지체되어 진행을 빨리 하지 못할 때가 있습니다. 그러니 전투 스킵 기능을 가능하면 추가해 주셨으면 좋겠습니다. 그리고 원하는 레벨까지 레벨 업 할 때도 레벨업 과정도 스킵 할 수 있었으면 좋겠습니다. 게임은 진짜 재미 있습니다. ### 5/5 — Current bug in main quest line *2025-11-26* Hello! I’m a returning player from DV2 and have been having a blast on this game. But I seem to have run into an Issue during the step “Hatch the egg from Estella and move to the village”. I combined all parts to create the egg and claimed it but it is not appearing in my inventory inside of my cave to hatch it so I can’t progress. Is there a step im missing? I’d love to go through the in game support but the entire page is in a language I’m not familiar 😔 **Developer response:** Hello Tamer, You contacted us because you encountered an issue while progressing through the scenario. If you send an inquiry to our email customer support (support@highbrow-inc.com ) including your friend code, nickname, and account ID information, we will check the details and assist you. We kindly ask for your understanding that we may not be able to provide immediate assistance. ### 5/5 — 복주머니 이벤트 창 들어가면 튕김 문제 *2025-10-04, version 1.1.328* 안녕하세요 드빌 잘 이용하고 있는 유저입니다 다름이 아니라 복주머니 이벤트 창만 들어가면 게임이 튕겨서 출석이벤트나 복주머니 이벤트 혜택을 누릴 수가 없어서요 버그 수정 가능하다면 수정 부탁드립니다.. 그리고 수정 불가 하다면 해당 출석 이벤트나 복주머니 이벤트에서 받는 보상 우편함으로 전송 부탁드릴게요.. 닉네임은 중앙대가자제발 입니다 돈도 쓴 계정이라 이벤트 못 챙기는게 아까워요.. 부탁드려요 ### 5/5 — 13년 전 그 아이 *2025-10-03, version 1.1.328* 많은것들이 변하고 사라져버린 지금, 추억을 쫓던 제 눈에 밟힌건 제 어린시절 가장 행복한 추억을 만들어준 이 게임이었습니다. 이것도 변했겠지하면서도 내심 기대를 안고 게임을 킨 순간, 13년 전의 세상을 마주했습니다. 아스러지던 기억들이 다시 꽃피고, 무미건조하던 흑백의 시야가 가지각색으로 물들기 시작했습니다. 사람들은 말합니다, 추억은 다시 온전해질 수 없음으로써 그 아름다움이 완성된다고. 저도 동감하는 바이지만, 그 누가 빛바랜 사진첩의 가장 행복했던 페이지로 돌아가길 마다할까요. 제겐 이 게임이 제 사진첩의 첫 번째 페이지입니다. 물론 온전하진 않습니다, 그렇기에 더 아름답습니다. 제게 추억 그 이상을 선물해주신 것에 대한 감사의 뜻을 전하며 글을 마칩니다. ### 5/5 — 네 복주머니에 폭탄을 탔어 *2025-10-01, version 1.1.328* 안녕하세요 최근 업데이트로 인해 기존에 하던 드빌을 더 재밌게하고 있는 유저입니다.다름이 아니라 최근 시작한 한가위 이벤트에 일부 기능인 복주머니 개봉이 2단계 이후 열기 버튼을 누르고 한번 튕기더니 그 뒤로 이벤트 아이콘만 누르면 자꾸 튕겨서 써보았습니다.혹시나 게임에서 문제가 있는 건가 아니면 제 기기의 문제인지 모르겠어서 혹시 저와 같은 일을 겪으신 분들이 있으신지 보시고 수정부탁드리려고 리뷰 적어보았습니다.드빌 5000일 축하하고 앞으로도 쭉 갑시다! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
