Dragons have never really been out of our consciousness, but they’ve enjoyed a sort of renaissance in pop culture the past years, with the awesome triple threat of dragons in Game of Thrones, then the scary (and mocking) Smaug from The Hobbit movie adaptation. But while those dragons are awe-inspiring, they have nothing on the fierce but adorable ones from Dragonlandia in a new Android game called Dragon Mania Legends.
The land has been taken over by Vikings and now it’s up to you to raise an army of cute hatchlings and then try to train and turn them into a fierce army of fire breathing dragons to help you take back your homeland. The goal is to become the ultimate Dragon Lord and rebuild Dragonlandia. There are over 100 species of dragons that you can breed and raise, and later on send into battle against your enemies. You can breed them on several habitats on Dragon Island and then breed the powerful dragons to create even more powerful (and cuter) baby dragons.
Once they’re of fighting age, you can send them into the 3-on-3 battle system where you can unleash Dragon Fury (if they’ve mastered it already). You can teach your warrior dragons several special skills to bring them to victory. The game also has over 100 points of interest so you can explore and choose your own path as you go along.
Dragon Mania Legends is free to download on the Google Play Store. However, it has several in-app purchases, so be careful if you have your auto purchase option on as you may have zero discipline when it comes to buying stuff for your cute baby dragons.
Everything about this game is good aside from the breeding time. The main campaign can be completed twice before you’ve managed to create a dragon with 3 new elements that you didn’t start off with. This is like not being able to catch a full party of type-diverse pokemon by the time you’ve beaten the elite four. Makes the type diversity moot.
