Young dragon trainer, you are the only one who can stop the evil forces that destroy the land! Heroic Journey Begin your journey with your reliable dragon, Roco, at your side. Launch bombs on the evil dragons that get in your way. Use the rewards you gain from defeating evil dragons to strengthen your own dragon: teach him new abilities and bombs, train him at the Dragon Eyrie, and enhance his power with synthesis stones. Complete tasks and reap their rewards, gaining money and experience along the way. Menacing Enemies As you progress in your journey, you will encounter bosses. Team up with other players to defeat and capture these bosses. Once a boss is captured, it will join you and Roco in your quest to rid the land of evil forces! Each boss has its own special abilities: Leshy, the plant summoner, ensnares his opponents with nature attacks. Lava, the flame thrower, burns his foes with fire attacks. Crystal, the ice blaster, freezes his victims with ice attacks, and Angelo, the angel dragon, heals her followers and blesses them with unprecedented power. Challenging Rivalries If you are feeling particularly audacious, you can enter the PVP arena where you must triumph over your enemies in this all-or-nothing battle to the death. Rival players will not be matched by level—here is where the strong shall conquer the weak. Win medals, honor, and experience by defeating other players in combat. If PVP isn’t for you, there are other ways to compete against other players. Venture to the Secret of the Tree, where you must use all your wits when facing dangerous foes, each more powerful than the last. Who will be crowned victor, and who will be crushed in the onslaught? Mighty Reinforcements Synthesize magic stones at the Magic Matrix to enhance the strength, defense, hit points, and abilities of each of your dragons. Use keys to unlock gold and crystal boxes, and use the money and magic stones inside to make your dragons more potent. Boundless Treasures Send your dragons out to explore the world and gather the rewards they discovered along the way. Combine pieces of the treasure map to find a mysterious island filled with challenging levels and incredible prizes. Train your dragons until they become the most powerful dragons through all the land!

Peace has reigned over the verdant fields of the Garden Kingdom for several years following the Second Great Goblin War. While the greenhouses have been rebuilt and the nurseries flourish with budding new citizens, the remnants of war remain in the tales of grizzled veterans telling stories over a glass of fertilizer and dust covered outposts that remain ever vigilant for the threat of goblins from sky and land. The illusion of peace that the plants had hoped would last forever was burst one sunny afternoon day when the guards at a border outpost found themselves frozen in place by a strange looking goblin crackling with an arcane blue glow. Seconds later a goblin moving faster than any they had seen before came in and destroyed the outpost, laying it to waste and clearing the way for the marching hordes that followed over the horizon. War has come again to the Garden Kingdom, with greater threats and more powerful goblins than they’ve ever faced before. But all is not lost, in the time of peace new friends have joined the Garden Kingdom, prickly cacti, fiery Chili Peppers, deadly Dahlias and more all stand with our old heroes to drive the vile threat back to where it came from. In this newest edition of Plants and Goblins You’ll find: - New Cactus, Chili, Dahlia, Pear, Pumpkin, Sunflower, Tomato, and Tulip Garden Warriors - Vicious new mad goblin and freeze goblin enemies. - Upgradeable special Skills including Heavy Rockets, Freezing, Bombs, and more! - A mysterious benefactor known as the Botanist who can’t fight or defend… but has secrets to share. - An endless array of diverse quests that will have you swimming in gold and gems! - Multiple Free Rewards A day - A comprehensive library containing information about all your goblin foes!
