YOU DO NOT NEED THIS DLC TO PLAY THIS DRAGON. YOU DO NOT NEED THIS DLC TO KEEP THIS DRAGON. YOU ONLY NEED THIS DLC TO SPAWN IN AS ONE.

You can get invited to an egg of someone to play as this dragon, the only thing you wont have access to is: Acid Spitter Drake Emote Pack (Love, Mourn, Challenge, Distress)

you hunt animals. Its fun and can be cathartic

D&D, minus scheduling conflicts to get a whole party, in video game form. What else is there to say?

Update: 1.0 doesnt change anything, but make it look prettier.


I would say 90% of the hours in the game are because of the people, playing and hanging out with the others. But everyone is feeling the fatigue of nothing to do, and BS mechanics.

Game is turning into nothing but a cash grab at this point. Selling DLC's for things not even in game (Newest one will probably make an appearance 2027 at this rate, last one was up for ~2 years and it might finally make it into the game with 1.0 in feb 2024). Using Patreon funds that were given in good faith to support the game, instead get siphoned to make plushies that some MAY or may not get, (a lot get thrown out because cheap production company and doesnt look good) before being sold to others. So not even all the plushies funded by people paying for a game goes back to them. Makes you wonder what funds are being pulled elsewhere that doesnt support the game. Oh, and if you once supported the game (200ish here) Once you stop funding, you are left out of the loop. You get nothing if you arent currently paying.
It would be one thing to fund plushies for the game by using another revenue source than what people presume are going to the game, but not using funds for the game. And i quote "Your Patreon support directly helps us to make content for Day of Dragons including additional dragons/creatures, special animations, sound FX, visual FX, and other content." I wouldnt call making plushies 'other content'. Or at the very least limit it only to making it for the people paying, and not '100% of the funds for this plushie came from patreons, but only 25% of the plushies are for patreons. The rest we sell for more money'

We've been told its the year of the dragon for the past 4 years, and each time is a dissapointment so far. Getting 1 dragon, and changes that no one really likes. (mushroom changes, breeding changes) Which were all going to be massively changed at a later time with a new map. The map is static as heck right now (Which i dont expect to change) Where everything is only around certain points. Everywhere else is more or less pointless because you need food/water to survive, and they arent spread out enough.

Honestly? Real fun and cool monsters to take on to make weapons and armor from their parts.

24 hour review: I have played the game for approx 24 hours now. An entire days worth. While the map is large, it is by far empty. Roaming around looking for need zones at a snail pace to not try scaring anything away and see nothing. Animal trails are static and not dynamic and animals dont even follow them, and need zone times dont mean a thing. I spent an hour following a trail of moose tracks with 'looks fresh' poop. Only to find nothing when the trail ultimately dead ended. Spent 15 minutes circling around to see if i just couldnt find the next one, and nothing. Callers work no more than 180m distance, so you might as well shoot them before calling. Guns and 'classes' dont matter, for example, the .338 lapua gun in game is a class 6, moose is class 6. Going by the game guide has recommended max bullet energy at around 5200j to be effective. The class 6 gun doesnt drop to 5200j until ~ 300m directly into a 8m/s wind. At a cross wind, that jumps up to ~500m.

90% of the time animals do not call out unless you are calling them. Which again, you have to be within 180m and more or less already see them, so it is pointless. Theres no way to track animals unless you shoot them, and they do not stick to their patterns or paths.


8 hour revew:
While an Ok game in itself, it does come with issues at launch. No customization options, you are locked into playing one character only, cannot adjust keybinds at all (some are quite inconveniently placed) Or even look up what key does what unless you play with a controller.

I've played for 8 hours and have experienced quite a few bug issues. I've been stuck on a tree that i had to fast travel to get out of. I've had deer dissapear and pop in directly in front of me, I've had one hard crash (fatal error), 2 menu locks (Opened menu to a blank screen, unable to do anything and have to altf4).

I believe the game has potential, the game does look great, the animals do behave more lifelike (saw a flock of Pheasants take flight when a fox ran by them, but that could have been coincidence since i was right there), and their behaviors are more life like (not always sticking to the same locations).

If they can fix the config issues left out of this console port, add more customization, as well as variety of animals (IE different fur colors and patterns) I think this game could be worth it. As of now, i would definitely sleep on it.

good game, will probably play again, and a few more time after that every so often just to enjoy it before its ruined further

good times
