About this game
Dragons: Rise of Berk is a village-building and dragon-collecting simulation game. Players expand their Viking settlement, hatch and train dragons from the How to Train Your Dragon franchise, and engage in light activities. The game is praised for its extensive dragon collection and nostalgic appeal, though some players note the presence of ads and long wait times for upgrades.
