The verdict

A nostalgic free-to-play side-scrolling MMORPG with fast, fun combat and cute visuals, but hurt by login errors, lag, a tiny population and heavy-handed bans. Skip it if you want a smooth, well-supported MMO.

Great for

Dragonica veterans and fans of cute 2D side-scrolling combo brawlers who play with friends
