### 3/5 — Pretty good but also 🫪

*2026-08-23, version 1.111.7*

This is a pretty neat game with lots of dragons from the shows and the movies yadda yadda but my brother stopped playing it for a few weeks and found that it restarted two months of progress INCLUDING a dragon he paid like 20 dollars for! So its a neat game but it has its ups and downs.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2026-08-21, version 1.111.7*

Wow this is a great game but I wish that the dragons weren’t so much me and my grandma play this together and I like how you don’t have to be on it all day I highly recommend if you don’t have this game you should try it out right now!!

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-08-21, version 1.111.7*

It is so good that I don’t have words to express how much I love this

### 3/5 — Honest review

*2026-08-21, version 1.111.7*

The game is a great game has a lot of potential but some aspects just suck for example how much pay to win there is in this game like the dragon riders club it’s so expensive even the cheaper side for 10$ a month is just so expensive. I really enjoyed playing this game all the way up until the started shoving pay exclusive dragons and other things in my face and don’t get my started on the long timers.. I get eggs hatching for hours or days even that’s realistic okay but like the buildings and training for hours/days that’s unfair and the game is practically begging you to pay to skip the timer.

### 5/5 — Minecraft mod

*2026-08-20, version 1.111.7*

Can you make a Minecraft mod like a
Dawn of dragons with every dragon and colors for bedrock and Java

### 4/5 — Decided to pick this up again. Were the audio glitches always this bad?

*2026-08-18, version 1.111.7*

A few years ago, I put down Rise Of Berk for a while, and recently took another look at it. It’s still pretty fun, although there’s a major bug with the audio randomly dropping out and coming back. At one point the game went silent for a while, so I let it be, only to be ambushed by a phone call that somehow brought all of it back at full volume for half a second. Startled both me and my poor cat who was sleeping by my side. However, after that it went mute again. Ludia, fix this please!

### 5/5 — I love I love it. I love it. I love it.

*2026-08-18, version 1.111.7*

I can’t stop having fun it’s

### 4/5 — Open world game

*2026-08-18, version 1.111.7*

I love this game, but I think it would be so much better if it was an open world game where the player can ride a dragon and go to different regions and islands, instead of just clicking buttons and not really having much interaction with the dragons. I believe this would make it a five star experience and would be even more immersive. I think that there should be more games that are HTTYD and allow for an open world game ever since School of Dragons discontinued on Mobile. Please take this into consideration in the next update. I know it’s a big ask but I would ABSOLUTELY love to see this happen. Overall it is a very good game

### 5/5 — Best dragon game out there.

*2026-08-16, version 1.111.7*

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — I love it!

*2026-08-14, version 1.111.7*

I love httyd, ever since I was a kid. I watch the tv series and play this game along side it. it is such a comforting feeling doing both. 

I do however have some thing that I would like changed and would make the game even more enticing. One is making the dragons more interactive, being able to ride or take care of them would be really cool as well as changing and personalizing colors on the common dragons since they do all come in different colors. Second, having more space to actually decorate and place dragons not in the hanger, making it more interactive and being able to walk around the village and into stores instead of tapping a button

On top of that lastly and most importantly, I would love for there to be packs that I can buy with ruins and not just real money. I spend a lot of money on this game and would love to actually use some of the resources i actually have in the game to open those packs. Because they are extremely fun to open

That’s all the feedback I have but thank you so much for keeping this game alive it truly is the highlight of my nights.
