### 4/5 — Fun game

*2026-08-21, version 9.70*

I’ve been playing for over 4 yrs so must be a good game.
However it is a pay to play if you wish to proceed at a pace that keeps game fun and challenging, a good active and helpful team also helps a lot. I did loose interest a bit when season dragons became harder to obtain and not being able to level new season dragons up enough to equal or exceed my older season dragons is very frustrating. 
However although not playing as much as I did due to some of the recent changes in the game I still enjoy it for the best part.

### 1/5 — Bots and hackers

*2026-08-17, version 9.70*

PG does nothing to players that use bots and hacks.  If your a person that does that then this game is for you.

### 1/5 — Uncaring Game Support

*2026-08-17, version 9.70*

My family joined and got hacked. Initially thought a fun place for parents and kids to enjoy together in a challenging environment. Got hacked, asked Game Support and they banned both hacker and player to shut everyone up. Not a place to learn family values and enjoyment. A magnet for ruthless and greedy players abound. Many players getting bored of being bullied. If you want a money pit of bullies and greed, well here it is. Enjoy!

### 1/5 — The embers of what once was

*2026-08-16, version 9.70*

I have played this game for 11 years. It once had a thriving community unlike any other game I had any played. Those that remain are only here for the friends they have made over their many years playing the game. There are so many bugs that were never fixed, player concerns were never addressed, pirates made fair the burden of play a full time job and 95% of teams became at the mercy of the strongest 5%. The developers have not released any meaning new content in years. But because my team remains, I remain, but only until we can find something else we enjoy.

### 2/5 — Why don’t they fix it?

*2026-08-15, version 9.70*

Great game, horrible support.  I’ve played this game for years and at this point for a two minute run it takes 3 to collect rewards, and the lag on all of it is terrible.  It took me six tries today just to log in.  Wtf.  Are you trying to kill this game?

### 1/5 — Wrongful termination

*2026-08-15, version 9.70*

For some reason I was banned from this game while I was on a 2 year hiatus. Not sure how I was able to get banned while not playing the game. Can’t talk to anyone about it.

### 1/5 — Worst customer service in gaming

*2026-08-08, version 9.70*

Be aware that if you ever have any issues with this game PG customer service almost exclusively responds with bots and platitudes…. They have no interest in providing solutions to their playing community…. They will waste your time endlessly with never a resolution in sight…. Long time legacy players almost to a person love the game but dealing with customer service on any issue is a nightmare…. If the game was seamless, it wouldn’t be much of a consideration but the game is glitch ridden and at times simply unplayable…. Don’t spend any real money on this game…. You will regret it…

### 1/5 — Just don’t

*2026-08-04, version 9.70*

Buggy, terrible support. As many micro transactions as they can squeeze out of you. Don’t bother.

### 1/5 — Unfair Support

*2026-07-30, version 9.70*

Support will get down on their knees for the big teams they are in bed with. There is zero equity or equality as soon as a “friend” of theirs isn’t happy. Their TOS means nothing unless you are friends with certain PG employees. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE UNLESS YOU PLAN ON LOSING IT PERMANENTLY.

### 5/5 — As good now as it was when playing my lost level 571 account, bitter a bit but enjoying level 300+

*2026-07-27, version 9.70*

It’s fun it must be to start at level 1 and go through the pain to level 300+ 200+  to get back to my old level…. Word to the wise  Always save your google pay or Apple Pay receipts and download a save them on a different device from that which you play on. Have fun
