When I got my very first iPad several years ago, the first game I decided to download onto this fresh piece of technology was a small game called Dragonvale. I absolutely loved this game and began actively searching for something similar. I eventually came across Dragon City and began playing immediately.
Dragon City is an incredibly enjoyable game, it allows you to breed over one hundred and fifty different types of dragon. With this number, it’s difficult to truly run out of things to do in game until you have all of those.
Whilst I wouldn’t exactly describe what you have in the game as a city per se, what you really have is more of a dragon farm, or even a zoo maybe. Playing through the game will leave you having quite a bit of fun, although, for how long you’ll actually continue to enjoy the game is another question.
Currently, Dragon City is running version 3.0.3and requires you device to be running at least iOS version 5.0 or later. Dragon City is not a new game, so the majority of bugs should have already been fixed, however, it is not abnormal to continue seeing any. SO if you do encounter any bug, please report them to the developers by social networks such as facebook or twitter, or even within the app. The game has support for a variety of different languages from around the world, so playing should not be toomuch of an issue for the majotrity of people. However, if the game does not support your language, new languages are bveing added all the time in new updates, so you can leave a message via social networks so that they are aware that there is a need for your specific language The game is available as a free download from the app store, with the added option to purchase further in app content. The game currently has a four and a half star rating and has received mostly positive reviews from players on the app store.
There is a variety of different options when it comes to in app purchases in this game. if you are really committed to this game, it may be advisable to consider buying something, especially after the level ten point. There are six different options when it comes to buying gems; for twenty five gems it will cost you $1.99, for a bowl of sixty five gems it will cost you $4.99, for a vase of one hundred and forty gems it will cost you $9.99, for a bronze vase of three hundred gems it will cost you $19.99, for a silver vase of eight hundred gems it will cost you $49.99 and for a golden vase of one thousand seven hundred gems it will cost you $99.99. Gems can be used to purchase gold, food packs, special decorations, and special dragons and even to speed up expansions and building projects.
You’ll want to have lots of gems, gold and food for raising your dragons. The problem is that these resources take time to save up, unless you want to spend your real money to purchase them.
The hack for Dragon City solves this problem and allows you to add unlimited amounts of gems, gold, and food to your account for free! The hack is available for download here at AppGameCheats and works for both iOS and Android devices. It’s easy to use the tool, after you install it you’ll see a menu like the one pictured here.
The Dragon City hack tool installs automatically after you download it. Begin by selecting the type of device you are using to play the game, Android or iOS. Tap the “Detect Device” button to link the hack to your account. Once it’s connected, you can type in the amount of gems, gold, and food you want to add.

Open your Dragon City app afterwards and you’ll find the gems, gold, and food have been added to your account. Now you can raise your dragons with an unlimited supply of resources!
With this game, you may be inclined to go and seek out a hack,for which I would not blame you, after a while, the game becomes too difficult to really carry on playing without some kind of help.
Luckily, there are hacks around that promise high amounts of gold, food, gems, free dragons and island unlock. However, with these hacks, they require you to be level fifteen or higher, so you may still need to play for a while before you’re able to actually hack your game. If you’re type to keep on perservering without a hack, check out these tips and trciks that we’ve gathered together for you!
Every dragon in the game falls under a certain class, there are over ten different element types, so it can gen confusing at times especially considering how many dragons there are to collect. Currently the element types are as follows; Dark, Sea, Nature, Flame, Terra, War, Pure, Light, Metal, Ice, Legend and Electric. There are also three other different classes of dragon that you’ll need to know about; Exclusive Dragons, Legendary Dragons, Hybrid Dragons and Rare Hybrid Dragons. These types can usually be a little more difficult to breed, in some cases, they can only be bought.
Collecting up enough food can be somewhat time consuming and will take up quite a bit of your gold, especially if you choose the ones that give you the most food. I advise you tojust consistently grow the crops that take the least amount of time to grow, these are also the least expensive because they really don’t give you that much food. But in the long run, you end up making more food than if you were to just go straight for the more expensive ones, sure it’ll take you a little while to build up enough to level all your dragons up, but at least you won’t just be waiting around for hours on end for some super expensive food to finish growing.
Each habitat that you can buy has a specific elemental focus and will generate varying amounts of gold. As long as you have at least one dragon in a habitat, you’ll be making gold. If you place a dragon in a matching elemental habitat, you get a bonus 20% extra gold per minute. So it’s highly beneficial if you can place your dragons in the correctly matching habitat.
Dragons have different stages that they must go through to attain their full potential, each dragon will start off as a mere egg, after a short amount of time (or long, depending on the rarity of the dragon) the egg will hatch into a baby dragon, this first dragon dorm is incredibly cute but doesn’t last all that long once you start to feed it. Once you’ve passed a certain threshold of food provided to the dragon, your baby will turn into a teen dragon, once you get to this point, you will now be able to enter your dragon into battles in order to help them become stronger. The final stage of your dragons’ growth is adult, at this point, you will have and incredibly strong dragon that will have some seriously killer attacks and will give you a pretty good advantage in battles, meaning that you’ll most likely win.
I loved the idea of a pokemon type battle system, but the idea is kind of ruined by the fact that you are limited by how much you can battle in a day, every six hours you can run through three battles, but once those are all done, you have to wait another six hours until you’re able to battle more, which really sucks because the battle system is one of the few things this game really has going for it, not to mention it’s one of the things that break up the monotony of the game.
Dragon City isn’t one of those games that limits its players with an energy system, although it still creates difficult hurdles for you to overcome with the fact that the majority of shop prices are so high that she really have to work hard to be able to do much. Especially once you’re past the level ten point, prices seem to just shoot right up, making it difficult for you to play consistently. Obviously, this is just their way of trying to get you to spend money on their game. I really hate people that make their games purposely difficult in order for you to throw money at it, it really takes the fun out of the game and makes the developers seem more like they just wanted to make a quick buck rather than make a genuinely fun game. With a lot of games that subtly do this, the change in prices and such is a steady change, but with Dragon City, the change is very sudden and very noticeable.
Also another thing that kind of makes this game a little dull is the fact that you soon notice that there isn’t really any difference between yours and your friend’s cities. The point of a game is to have a uniquely individual experience, not to have the same experience as everyone else. You want to make a little area that is totally different in comparison to your friends, otherwise, how can you make anything really stand out?
Artwork: I give Dragon City an 8/10 for its artwork. I’ll admit, the artwork in the game is beautifully put together. Everything is brightly colored and looks great; it’s very visually appealing and fun to look at. But really, is it just a mask that covers up what it really is? A bad attempt at convincing people to throw money at this pretty game that lacks real substance. Everything looks cute, but to be honest, that doesn’t automatically make a game awesome. If I were rating this game based on artwork alone, this would be one awesome review praising this game up and down the east coast.
Music and SFX: I give the game a 7/10 for its music and SFX. The music in this game is definitely upbeat and provides the game with a nice sense of flow, but honestly, the sound effects of the game are just terrible, I’m fairly sure that they’ve just been ripped out of every other dragon/dinosaur park building game to have ever existed.
General Gameplay: I give the game a 5/10 for its general gameplay. Honestly, I can’t even understand how this game has gotten a four and a half star rating on the app store; it truly is a terrible game. The use of force when it comes to the in app purchases is what kills this game, that and the fact that it does get so difficult to play. If you do attempt to make a purchase and it fails, it repeatedly throws errors at you, telling you that it couldn’t process your purchase; this can be a great hindrance to playing the game. Especially when you can’t consistently play the game without some pop up coming on your screen, something that doesn’t even stop after you try to close the game out of the multitasker. This game really is a big disappointment, especially after playing Dragonvale, which really is superior in every way in my opinion.
Story and Originality: I give the game a 2/10 for its story and originality. I have to say there is nothing original about this game, all it is, is a cheap imitation of Dragonvale. It doesn’t add anything particularly new, and if there’s one thing I hate when it comes to games, is a game that brings nothing new to a genre, if a game is not contributing, merely replicating what has worked for other games, it does not deserve to even exist, all it serves as is a way for the developers to make a bit of money, I find this despicable in games. There is no story in this game either which really ruins things even more, not that it really had much going for it in the first place. What sucks is that this game really had the potential to be something really good and fun, long term, but instead the developers decided that they didn’t really want to make an effort for this game.
Addictiveness: I give this game a 4/10 for its addictiveness. Sure this game can be addictive for a very short amount of time, but once you hit the IAP barrier, you’re doomed to a game of waiting and paying. Like I said in the previous point, this game really does have the potential to be so much more that what it is right now, but unfortunately, nobody seems to want to make the effort and make this a great game and that is a shame.
Overall I give Dragon City 5/10.
