DreamWorks Dragons: Legends of the Nine Realms

Dragons: Legends of The Nine Realms was hugely disappointing, mainly due to the fact that the last game from this franchise was an unexpected delight. The controls are awful, the settings are bland, and the puzzles are a joke. In fact, about the biggest challenge you’ll find in Dragons: Legends of The Nine Realms is trying to get your dragon to properly aim at a target.

This game is fun for kids but not for full price. It is too short. But the dragons are cool and it's nice that there is a small skill tree.

Although a little repetitive in nature, Dreamworks Dragons: Legends of the Nine Realms is a competent franchise tie-in game that’s sure to appeal to any fan of the series. It’s straightforward enough to be enjoyed by children, but the extra layer of skill provided to the combat will be appreciated by older players, too. It’s not going to be lighting anyone’s world on fire, but it’s a fun way to spend an afternoon with the family at the very least.

DreamWorks Dragons: Legends of the Nine Realms is a fine platformer experience but one that only younger gamers are likely to enjoy. The gameplay and visuals are a bit too simple for anyone older to get much enjoyment out of it. At the higher price point that it has currently though, I would personally recommend waiting on a sale to buy it for your kid.

Dragons: Legends of the Nine Realms isn’t much to write home about, but it offers young fans a slightly more substantial experience than most of its mobile peers without overwhelming them.
