Transparency
The game is absolutely nothing like what you see in the advertisement; nothing.
It’s your typical “build a keep and forced pvp after X level” grind.

too expensive, and it’s all about mindless tasks
daily deal must gives at least 6 tokens.
Fraudulent charges
After looking at my previous statements I noticed many purchases I never made. If you’re gonna use this app don’t keep a card on file.
Freecash SCAM
SCAMMED
out of time to never be rewarded.

It’s a trap
Boring builder bases nothing like the advertising kinda let down looked super fun
Terrible match making
You join pvp event that have “MMR” you opponent is all 60s and your all 50s. They are just feed spenders corpses. Don’t waste you time.
Cool commercials!
Cool commercials!!! Too bad they don’t look like ANYTHING in the game!
It has a great IP (which the ads don’t show), but the game quickly devolves into guild vs guild supremacy. I’ve quit the game THREE times in frustration!

Bring back the undead faction
Please bring back the undead faction please
Constant lies
The newest pet and artifact were nerfed under the guise of “developer mistakes” after people spent a bunch of money. Devs send an in-game message, “oops we made a mistake, the pet/artifact description stated it was much more powerful than it actually is. Here’s some compensation, 2 gold keys and resource tokens for your trouble.” Compensation is equal to $0.99 after people spent hundreds of dollars.
Pay to win and the Game is Dying!
I dont know why this has a 4.8 rating on the app store but this game is a money TRAP! You all should stay away, the imbalance between f2p and P2w is just too big dont even try downloading this game. Played this game for almost 3 years spent more than 10k and Game is now dying and its developers are trying to squeeze out every penny they can from the whales. You have been warned
Ad is a lie
The ad makes it look like an rpg. It’s just another city builder.
5 week review
If you not spending 30$ a week you can not only expect to not be able to fight behemoths. But after about 5 weeks even basic chests arent obtainable alone. Even after buying both monthly passes. Rare open world chests have begun requiring a team. It is clear the game isnt playable without whales. As the game progresses it has shown that even with 40 players fighting a behemoth as the behemoths difficulty also increases. That unless you are spending a lot of money. Youll be 2 hit by basic attacks. So the game fools you into playing. Then coherses you to spend money in order to do anything other than literally fight basic open world basic darklings that spawn around your base *deleted
Worst customer support, worst money hungry app
This game had potential, but the current migration and alliance mechanics have ruined it. Right now, a single powerful alliance can seize a server, and the 'King' has the power to block anyone stronger from migrating in. It’s a closed-loop system that protects big spenders from actual competition.
If you get kicked from the top alliance, there is zero protection. They can 'zero' your power, steal your unprotected resources, and effectively exile you from the map because you can't teleport or move through passes without alliance territory. Why even have a migration system if the people currently in power get to 'approve' their own rivals?
You should allow full alliances to migrate together to challenge these 'dead' servers. Until the devs fix the gatekeeping and give players a way to fight back against server monopolies, this isn't a strategy game-it’s just a farm simulator for people who are afraid to lose. This game is bad to top it off with constant updates that change gameplay for the worst. Can’t trust them at all. Worst of the worst and the most dismal no supportive service ever had to work with.

Misleading advertisement
Showed a completely different game
game is the total opposite of what it really is
this game garbage i dont know how u even have 4.8 reviews this game required so Skill forced u to spend very paid to win only when spending you’ll enjoy this game
Really no controller support
Who wants to play a mmo with no controller support and only clunky touch pad controller lazy on dev part I uninstalled till they figure it out
Pay to win
Don’t waste your time the game didn’t start yet and the already looking for your money
Dumb
Dumb game
Money grab garbage
If you dont spend, you will not survive
Booring
You will be attacked by stronger player just to make you spend money plus some guild appear from nowhere.
Don’t bother if f2p
Useless if you are free to play you will get destroyed by enemies and will just get disappointed. Might seem like you have some impact in the beginning but don’t be fooled.
Not
Interesting
Misleading
The Youtube ad makes it look like a completely different game. This is just a bunch of mini games where battles only involve telling your characters which direction to go as they autofight. Most of the time you have to wait to play the game because you have to update your base to progress, which takes real-world hours for your builders to complete… of course, you can speed it up with real-world money.
The devs are greedy
I just went from season 1 to season 2. The devs give little to nothing for the money you spend in season 1 then multiply your needs by 5 in season 2. So you have to spend more or struggle more. Guaranteed stuff isn’t.
Garbage money grab
Trash dead game only play if you can spend 100k usd else you will get wrecked everywhere they have mods running the server with insane power levels to make other people spend in the game
Developer greed killed the game
Patch after patch horrible new things are added behind a paywall. These things cost either 10k USD or 20years for F2P to get. First it was the pets that only people who spend thousands of dollars can get. Then the SVIP which after 2 years of playing I am still millions of points away from. Then city reliquary where you can get 15% in all stats that is only possible to get if you pay thousands. Finally the nail was the decoration reliquary giving 25% stats costing 10K USD or 20 years F2P. The greed makes this game unbearable and it’s not even fun to play anymore. There used to be tactics but now you get brute forced by whoever spends more money. Communities in the discord and socials complained and nothing is ever done they just add another thing you have to pay for.
Anti F2P
Scam
Devs shadow nerf/buff stuff. Extremely pay to win
I’ve played this game for 2 years since the beginning. I have now quit. The devs continue to make this game more pay to win and further push the power imbalance to those who spend an insane amount of money on this game. Unless you plan to waste a lot of money on a phone game to compete. STAY AWAY.
massive pay to win (none strategy & none skill ) just money
pay to win players at least are 10x stronger than free players … if you have big pocket then it is your game … i deleted
Not for free to play
Pay to win game that focus on money grabbing never listen to community gameplay becomes worse and worse always focus on money grabbing like decoration giving atk buffs that doesnt even make sense and you need 1000$ to max one btw
$$$$$$$$
What makes these games so horrible is they’re paid to play. I can’t stand these games. I like the old days where you just bought the CD and that’s it. You play the whole game without giving them a dime now with these game apps you gotta pay them every time you’re playing it’s so ridiculous. but the best thing you can do is delete it, which I just did - so long dragons. and the worst thing you can’t control the fighting. All you do is walk , and the graphics look pretty dull not as bright.
Ripping off from other games with p2w features
I returned after 2 years to see how this game developed. They introduced p2w decoration ripped from Whiteout Survival yet catered to whales only. You have a player retention problem and do this. Hot fix immediately. It should be obtainable by playing the game. And offer different types of buffs. Make it community feature that balances already bloated disparity between p2w and f2p/low spenders. If you are going to copy someone else’s features at least do it right. Like they did.
Hardcore or go home
If you’re not willing to spend atleast 12+hours a day or spend cash on this game, you will only survive by joining random alliances, don’t make your own due to the disgusting way people can expand their territory to every behemoth completely blocking your access to any and all content in the region they start you in.
Pay To Win Gap
The pay to win gap in this game has widened so much. At the beginning it wasn’t as significant and devs just continued to get more and more money hungry it’s insane.
P2W
Decoration buffs.
Requires you to spend 10K+
Unless you want to spend well over 20K+ USD to be relevant and buy decorations get VIP 16 get exemplars and compete for skins then this probably isn’t the game for you. Developers don’t listen to the community and instead of fixing things that are broken they give seasons with little to no fighting and incentivize money grabbing events that create massive disparities in the player base. They just released decorations that require over 10K USD to max and essentially create a massive power disparity amongst players. Do yourself a favor and don’t get this game.
P2W
Too many paywalls behind this game and the Devs are too selfish to fix actual game problems
P2w kingdom builder with potential and no promise
If you don’t want to drop 10s of thousands of dollars on this game, don’t play it. The game was great on launch. It had amazing combat better than any other kingdom builder and good graphics. Since then, the developers have added a bunch of incredibly p2w systems that amount to absurd stat buffs for krakens, assuming someone chooses to spend thousands to actually reach those bonuses. Meanwhile, f2p players will require years worth of playing to get even close. If you don’t want to drop tens of thousands, don’t play this game.
P2W
It is very p2w. Even if you play 24/7, you won’t stand a chance against whales. Not very friendly to f2p at all.
What a shock, nothing like the ads
Another app that rips off a bunch of other game styles for their ads and then its nothing like that. One ad is even a clone of Warcraft 3. They didnt even try to hide it. Almost nothing was reskinned. Not worth playing a game if they have to hide behind another games work to trick you into downloading it, and certainly not worth giving them money
Impossible Levels
Some levels are just impossible to beat
In two months of play…
…I have seen nothing that looks like this Night King advertisement. Why show something that is not in the game rather than the actual game?
I do recommend
I do recommend there’s one problem. I have waiting for everything to upgrade takes way too long. What are you supposed to do when something takes two days to upgrade or 34 days whatever and you need to upgrade to move on and you can only kill so many you can only get into so many battles before your CPS runs out unless you wanna spend money then you can be number one
Unoptimized and Aggressively Monetized
Call of Dragon’s files are very large and take up a lot of phone storage. Game is laggy upon first launch. It is aggressively monetized and will ask you to spend money almost immediately.
General Gameplay
I just wanna play the game. I can’t even play the game because I need to build things before I can do anything again every time. Because of that I only get like 4minutes of gameplay per day…. So I don’t even play anymore like that… but when I do try after something finally builds I get one short play then have to wait 10hrs for something else again. What’s the point of all the nice graphics and everything if you can’t even play the game!?
Misled
Game is nothing like the ad. Just another mmo reskinned for money
Fun, but...
I feel like the game devs had ADHD wen they made this game, trying to combine too many game styles into one game. There's no need for half of the "features" and seems like very quickly it will become pay to play because off all the different things they want you to do all at the same time. If it was just town building and main story line, or main story and character development it would be much better in my opinion. I'm deleting the game because it's all over the place.
