Day of Dragons

I will NEVER support this game anymore because the admins and developers enable stalking and harassment. Instead of removing people that are causing you the problems they enable it and tell you they won't do a thing unless it's an in game rule break. Stalking and harassment isn't a in game rule break? Especially when they name drop your IRL name in global chat and you go to them with actual proof. They laugh at you and tell you that they won't help you. Do NOT come to Day of Dragons unless YOU TOO want to be stalked and harassed and have admins turn their heads.

For as old as this game is, you would expect it to run better. Save yourself the time and money and wait for a better game and developer.

DoD is honestly more of a glorified tech demo than an actual game. The wold is barren, and flight is so janky you'll end up turned around more often than the direction you actually wanted to go. Not that there really is an incentive to explore the world either, aside from getting your dragon into an even stronger stage, higher than adult. But that system (in my opinion) is so unintuitive. I like DoD, I really do, but it's not a game I can recommend to anyone in good faith. I would suggest saving your money, and waiting for one of the other upcoming Dragon survival games, because DoD, unfortunately, isn't it.

TLDR: Do not get into this game, do not buy the DLCs. Day of Dragons is buggy, unfinished, poorly moderated, time-wasting, unbalanced and mechanically lackluster/clunky, with very few updates focused on fixing anything. Despite my hours on this game I can't recommend getting into it, the only reason the game is remotely fun is because of the community aspect. You have to find a group of people to play with (which is almost always over Discord) and actually become friends with them to enjoy this game, and even then it's a LOT of trash talk and toxicity because of rivalries between groups. Moderation for this kind of behavior is often lacking, but of course, they'll moderate harshly for harmless behavior—instead of fixing collisions, you can get banned for "meshing," using the map's poor collisions to hide inside objects, and you can get warned or banned for saying terms as common as "oh god" due to the developer's religious overreach. Those are the two biggest examples, but it is something that bothers me severely and I feel people should know about it before looking into playing. The game itself is mostly doing basically nothing while waiting to grow your character because of how lacking the hatchling and juvenile stage is. Only once you have your character fully grown (anywhere from 1 hour to 5 as of now, even longer in the future dragons) can you really do any fighting. If you get spotted before then, you're almost guaranteed death on a PVP server. Unfortunately, PVP is the only real thing that's engaging in the game unless you like to spend hours upon hours maxing out nesting stats on dragons that may or may not eventually get used for anything on PVE. And when you get to adult? The combat and flight system is so user-unfriendly that it alone is the biggest reason I cannot recommend this game. The "physics-based" flight is neat in concept but it makes flight extremely unresponsive and hard to deal with. Breath attacks do not land where your screen shows them to land and sound indicators are almost always wrong. Animations hinder most attacks due to delays between when you click and when you actually fire, and on most dragons the projectiles are so slow that you won't actually hit anything by the time you fly past a target WHILE holding the button down. Consequently, when they DO hit, attacks are so strong that it makes every dragon feel like they're made of paper. Instead of lowering overall damage and making it more reasonable to actually hit targets, the game is built around being hit from an attack that definitely didn't look like it should hit you, but did anyways, and now you're taking half your health with one hit because otherwise fights would never end. Additionally, if you have this game but don't have the DLCs, don't buy them. None of the dragons are worth it for the price. Despite how cool they look, with the way the combat works, they all die in two hits or less from the base dragons of the game while providing very little capability of fighting back. The few pros are the animations and the sounds are fantastic, when they work (they often don't). The flight is actually fun, IF you don't get motion-sick easily and IF you're not trying to fight for your life. This game is EXTREMELY buggy, unreliable and long-winded with little reward. I see a lot of people within the community find joy in destroying literal weeks of someone else's work by killing high-leveled dragons, which worsens the toxicity issue, (and yes, it takes that long to max out your dragon), but I would still just recommend something like The Isle if you're going for that, because the combat in that game is SIGNIFICANTLY more balanced and the map is designed to actually give you a chance. The map in DoD is practically barren of effective foliage and doesn't allow for most things to hide well. Overall, just lacking in pretty much every aspect of a creature survival game and updates are not quick enough nor focused on the correct issues to compensate.

This game is the biggest waste of money I have ever made on Steam. No matter how good you think this game looks or how much you like dragons, please do not give these fckers your money.

i dont recommend this game to anyone. it has become a pay to play style of game. you have to buy every dragon in the game except the first one that is way to weak to survive as. the devs are only using this as a cash grab so dont buy it

As someone who bought the game at the start of 2022 and has 372 hours in it, I'm personally very disappointed. I love the concept and I enjoy some of the mechanics. I'm genuinely frustrated that so much content is paywalled behind patreon/Kickstarter. It doesn't sit well with me that emotes and dragons are locked behind paid DLC. I won a free light skin elemental from a live stream in like March of this year. Still no word on when it's actually going to be released. (From my understanding). It honestly feeling like a cash farm with some pity sprinkles of content to keep the hardcore base going.

Game is super dope. Dev's suck though, the progression is slow. The roadmap for this wont be complete until 2050. Really had hope for this game, but it seems like the dev's want to put out a half built product and bleed people on cosmetics and irrelevant things instead of just releasing the dragons. I've never seen a game take this long to be made in all my 35 years of life.

Have put around 200 hours into this with friends and members of the community I can definitely say you SHOULD NOT GET THIS GAME! I love this game and the potential it has however the dev and specific community members have ruined it with greed this game having multiple paid dlc and a 20$ price tag for what is essentially a nothing burger that has well over a few hundred thousand dollars put into it is nothing less than greed. I’m not typically the kind of person to be concerned with content release schedules in games however when you make plans and fail to deliver on those still years after and start making paid dlc I find it truly frustrating and honestly insulting. I want to love this game and hope the best for it but nobody NOBODY should buy this!
