Call of Dragons is a multiplayer fantasy mobile game, where you build city, level up heroes and artifact to fight against the Darkness. Compete and fight together with other player in an Real Time Strategy game with the latest graphics and new mechanics like the Behemoth…
Are you tired of outdated mobile RTS with archaic control system that limit your strategic gameplay. Or perhaps your looking for a fresh start in a game with the latest graphic? Well Call of Dragons is the newest release of FARLIGHT games, with a disney like approach characters of a fantasy worlds with behemoth waiting to be captured.
One of the most gorgeous graphic that 2023 can offer, Call of Dragons has stunning visual from the character design to the environment itself. Game looks very good from both PC and Mobile.
Another place where Call of Dragons excels is the sound and music, good background music and superb voice acting for the whole story.
Call of Dragons mechanics works similarly to his big brother “Rise of Kingdoms” but let’s say it’s has been simplified. Different Faction, heroes variety and also loads of artifacts, all of them are easy to upgrade and understand. However limiting one type of unit for one march make the game lose a strategic part of RTS. Behemoth is a nice and new addition that is fun to do with your alliance, fighting, capturing and summoning them never gets old.
Story is nice but the dialogues tends to a bit lengthy specially when you can’t skip them. You quickly lose interest in continuing the story line of Call of Dragons as things become unimportant and unrelated at some point.
Call of Dragons have a very slow progression. Either you will run out of resources or you will have to wait for days, weeks and even month. Limited energy is a bottleneck when your going to level your heroes and artifacts. Both of them resets every season makes it a real pain to re level everything again.
Call of Dragons suffers from the same problem of all Mobile RTS game, game balance! Don’t expect a fair fight, big spenders controls the game.
The events of Call of Dragons are the okay, not the best or the worst in the mobile games. Events are frequent but gets repetitive every single week or month. However the best rewards are only for the highest spenders because of a ranking system.
Let’s all agree that Call of Dragons is a pay to win game. High spenders control the pace of the game. Also you have no limit how much you can spend daily making it a whale fest.
Overall, the Call of Dragons has a good community and player support which create sense of community among players. By actively engaging with the community FARLIGHT delivers in terms of content specially the ads.
Being a bit over 4.5 GB, Call of Dragons is much lighter than it looks compared to other game of 2023. It also run great on both mobile and PC but occasionally lag from time to time.
On the other hand, the game is very P2W as there’s no barrier or cap that limit you from spending in game. Things get really ugly in some server with whale alliance bullying everyone around, making the game unplayable for low spenders and F2p players.
Overall, Call of Dragons is a good example of a good game with specs in all category but has terrible balance between F2P and P2W. Ruining the hard work into a greedy cash grabbing game in the mobile industry where player will drop in and drop out for a short period of time.

Raid: Shadow Legends review What is Raid:Shadow Legends? Raid: Shadow Legends is a popular mobile role-playing game developed and published by Plarium Games. Your mission is to save the world of Teleria with the help of heroes that you will recruit and form a team …
The game features beast like waifu also known as kemono girls who will help you save your sister from a mysterious event. Your an “Awakener” who has the last hope of leading humanity. A classic story of an apocalyptic world where your the only saviour surrounded by waifu including some obvious fanservice.
Starting with an anime intro that sums up the main story where your greet by some fanservice right at the start. The game locks you in the tutorial mode for a long time. A practice that i’m not fond because it takes away all your freedom from exploring the game by yourself.
Combat is a turn base rpg where your character are chibi version of the original expression. You have 6 slot available for your waifus, 3 frontline and 3 backline. Despite those position where normally frontline would be hit first and then will be the backline. It doesn’t really matter as in Echocalypse each unit hits differently.
So try to read the description of skill of your units before building an SSR team that hits only frontline units. Tierlist will mislead you into obtaining specific units that are near good or bad as SR units without any awakening. Yes you will dupes and a lot of them including fragment.
This is part of the game where i feel the game is p2w . As you will be limited on the amount of currency once the beginner events are over. Also rates of summoning are not the best, don’t expect to pull 1 SSR in every 10 pull unless your very lucky. But that doesn’t mean you will be able to obtain the same SSR units.
As f2p best to focus with the starter units given to you by game, a mix of SR units with MC and 1 SSR unit. Easier to awaken and cheaper to upgrade than having a bunch of SSR units that will be stucks on zero star for a very long time. Talking about upgrades, Echocalypse has multiple way to power up a units.
You can level up, awaken and upgrade units after you reach a certain level. Plus you can equip them with badge(4 of them more exactly), extra gear and exclusive weapon which can also be upgraded in various way. Although things starting to getting confusing, the game manage to keep things clear with a good interface and explanation.
Each resources has it’s specific stage which make grinding quite easy. But some stage have limited chance per day and some require energy(stamina). Yes sadly Echocalypse is an energy base game with a static pool of energy which generate at an okay rate. Luckily the game gives you energy refill daily to let you grind a bit more.
Echocalypse has a large amount of daily quests which seems to get longer each time you unlock new modes. I honestly skip some of them because after some time, i feel annoyed just to do the quests. Reasons are that combat that can’t be skipped is boring to watch.
Some modes are only available at a limited time which i successfully miss nearly every day. If your stuck on stage time to grind stages for some days to break through. This gets boring very quickly as you literally don’t feel progressing at all, only thing that is changing is the enemy units compositions.
Late game, Echocalypse has not only a long list of daily quests but has also an affection system like Azurlane. Let’s say it covers the basic of giving gifts to obtain information and voice lines. The dormitory is an inferior version of Azurlane with little interaction of the chibi waifu in their room.
Overall i feel Echocalypse covers the basics in terms of gameplay, illustrations, affection system but does not exceed other big existing title like Azurlane or Epic 7. Don’t worry the Fanservice level is on par with them so you won’t be disappointed. Even the normal illustrations are very good despite skins are being exclusively for cash player.
Yes it’s worth playing, not the best gacha collection rpg i’ve played so far but Echocalypse has it’s own charms. Good illustrations, okay gameplay and it’s long list of daily quests. Although the game feels very p2w, i can say i didn’t meet any paywall during my play through. You can easily manage with the units given to you unless you want to be competitive in PVP.
Judging that some SSR character have no animation and that some modes with non skippable fights, Echocalyspe seems like a rush game with content added here and there to make the game look awesome. But the result seems more like an idle game with repetitive contents and boring fights. As always Thank you for reading till the end, i will see you in the next review.
About S-mobilegaming Reviews
Yes, the game is very free to play friendly as they reward you with quite a lot of SSR units early on. You don’t have any paywall but need to grind a lot and you will need to focus only on a team at a time.
Not really, beside the usual packages, battle pass and skins that are cash only. You will only accelerate your progression with money by getting dupes faster but you will still need to grind resources for upgrading your units.

Imagine owning a virtual fish tank with 3D fish of diverse color, swimming around happily, expressing themselves through dialogues. Complete a collection of different fish tank of both fish and decorations. However all of this need to be purchase by with in game currency (gold) that you can obtain by beating levels of 3 match puzzle or feeding with you fish
A cute turtle welcomes you to fishdom. After asking for your name and forcing you to buy a fish, your ready to start playing. The level will alternate between a minigame puzzle and a 3 match game( the main game).
The puzzle games will be different from each other, games like comparison, calculation, choice or even tetris. I personally didn’t discover all of them as i’m stuck at a certain stage for days, i will comeback on this subject later on.
The main game is without any doubt, another 3 match game which Playrix is very familiar, like the scapes series(homescapes). But we are not here to talk about those games today. However the same rules and mechanics applies to all those 3 match games of the company.
The 3 match game will have different levels which increments once you beat it. Rules are simple clear the designated tiles under a number of turns and consider the level completed. Your reward will be calculated of how many move and bonus you have left on the board.
You will unlock all kind of bonus that will help you clear the board easily. From mines, bombs, lightning and other bonus that you can pick before a level starts. You can also obtain them from combining the right amount of same forms together depending on your luck.
Fishdom stages have different difficulty, easy, hard and very hard. They are represented by a specific color namely green for easy, red for hard and purple for very hard. But in honestly, stages difficulty does not matter as each time you start a stage, the board will change the patterns position on the board which will make the stage either easy or very hard.
Depending on your luck or bad luck, a simple level could become a very difficult due to those random placements. Secondly the fact that game gives you a limited number of moves in a level, limits you in doing what you want. If you didn’t clear the requirements after your out of move, it’s game over. Unless you buy additional moves with in game currency(gems).
This is where the game draws the lines from being free to play to pay to win. As long as you can pay with gems you can always continue and clear any stage by buying additional moves. To make the matter even worst, bonuses are also buyable with ingame currency(gems). Making the levels look like a joke for cash players.
Last thing i want to mention is the heart mechanics that i find annoying, you lose life each time you fail a stage. You have a limited pool of 5 hearts that regenerates when it’s not full or you have infinite heart mode on. Those heart can also be bought via cash shop, everything seems to be in favour of those who pay.
On the bright side of fishdom, as long as your winning, you can play indefinitely levels after levels. Hearts take around 30 min to refill which is reasonable time to wait or to do something else till you can play again. The bonus are a good addition to help player clearing stage easily. Obtaining them during events or daily surprise chest is a good motivation for f2p.
Ultimately Fishdom has it’s charm as a collection game where you collect all kind of fish and decoration as you play levels and unlocking more fish and decoration at the same time. But those fish and decorations don’t give any advantages beside being an achievement system. Making the collection pointless at a point where you asking why should you buy those useless things.
Unfortunately the answer is No, the game mechanics feel fraudulent. Even if you pay there’s no guarantee that you will be able to complete the level. The lack of free gems puts f2p on a tight spot as to continue and clear a close games require those precious gems. Lastly you won’t have anything to do once you are out of hearts. Fishdom is the kind of games that looks good but have bad mechanics that ruin the fun. Thank you for reading till the end, I will see you in another game review
Pros
Cons
Yes the game is free to play but have too many mechanics that encourage spending over skills of the player. In game currency is difficult to obtain for F2P. The game seems rig always having 1 or 2 move to complete a stage, pushing you to use your bonuses and gems.
Yes, the overwhelming advantage that you obtain by getting the battle pass is simply unfair to F2P. You can easily clear stages with always selecting bonuses or complete the stage by buying some moves with gems. Overall obvious P2W game.
Events sucks for F2P, as you lose points each time you lose a party. Making it near impossible to reach for the rewards in the chess on each checkpoint. Good luck trying to win as F2P.
