Dragon City review

Dragon City is the strongest free dragon game on this list and ranks fourth overall. Socialpoint's App Store listing describes a game where you build a floating city across islands, collect and breed over 2,000 dragons, and battle other players in real-time PvP. Breeding two dragons can produce hybrid species with combined elemental powers, and you feed and evolve each dragon from hatchling upward. It holds a 4.8 rating from 1.5 million ratings on the US App Store, the most of any game here, and the download is 436.6 MB. The game is free; the cheapest gem pack is the Pouch of Gems at $1.99, and the listed packs run up to $19.99. Socialpoint also claims over 80 million Dragon Masters worldwide in its description. The downsides are the usual free-to-play pressure to buy gems, a 9+ age rating and a requirement of iOS 15.0 or later.
