Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The game looked and sounded promising from the reviews I've read and gameplay I've seen, and I love dragons, but I couldn't even play it for awhile because upon starting, the game freezes at the main menu and a "Reuben.exe" error pops up.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
There's many maps to play on (the graphics are passable but not great) but they all feel the same.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
the game is too small: once you've played it once you've basically seen it all. just add your friends into the mix instead of AI. its simple, which is good, but it isnt in depth. a good example of an in depth party game would be overcooked. its simple, really simple. but each new level has a new wacky gimmick and new recipes for you to make with your friends. the difficulty does in fact increase with each new level and it makes it fun and it varies. this game is the exact opposite of that. there maybe be 35 maps but there might as well be 100 or 1000 maps because they're basically ALL THE SAME anyway. this game has SO MUCH POTENTIAL, its just sad see it all go to waste on a game thats this small.
