Dragonester is a strange little strategy, time-management sim game. In it, you have to collect dragon eggs and sell them at market to make
a profit. Along the way you’ll encounter ever more increasingly difficult goals, some egg eating monsters and more. Have you got what it takes to get the eggs to market?
It’s not a farming sim. It’s something akin to Diner Dash in a roundabout manner. You have nests that attract dragons who then lay eggs. Dragons like to be next to other dragons of the same color and when very happy will leave multiple eggs on a single squat. Of course dragons are heavy things and not so easy on the nests so from time to time you’ll need to repair them or if they totally break, replace them. Later, if you’re lucky, you’ll have such nice nests that giant dragons and Silver dragons will pay a visit and leave you some surprises.
You can also upgrade your cart and storage warehouse and other facilities to hold more eggs so you can harvest them as fast as possible or to do research etc.
The gameplay continues to get more and more complex over time. Eventually you are trying to manage small eggs, large eggs, crystals and more. All the while defending your dragon egg farm from invading slime and trying to get your eggs
to market to make money and build more nests. Really, the gameplay is quite good. It does require a lot of mouse button clicking though and that can cause some stiff fingers after awhile.
The graphics on the other hand don’t quite match up to the gameplay. They’re sort of blurry with some jagged edges. It’s almost like they were blown up from a much smaller screen without a commensurate increase in their quality. That’s not to say they’re terrible. On the contrary, for a 10 Euro game, they’re not bad. Plus, during the actual level you will have little time to even consider what the graphics look like.
