To be honest, I was flipping through the photo album on my phone and suddenly saw an old screenshot, which took me back to ten years ago. At that time, smartphones were still dominated by Nokia, and there were only a handful of games that could be played on the Symbian system, but "Dragons" was definitely a treasure. I'm not going to brag about it, but the graphics and gameplay of this game were both top-notch in that environment.
I still remember that when I was in high school, I bought a Nokia E71 with my pocket money. The screen was extremely small, but every time I opened the game and saw those vivid little dragons, I felt very good. Build dragon nests, feed them, train them, and then watch them grow up slowly, and then breed dragons with different attributes to give birth to new rare species - the satisfaction of collecting is much better than the current krypton gold card draw😄. Especially some hybrid dragons with two colors on their bodies, the more I look at them, the more I like them.
Looking back now, this developer, Beijing Wansheng Hetai Technology Co., Ltd., was actually Gameloft's domestic agent at the time. Gameloft was a god-like existence in the era of feature phones. From "Assassin's Creed" to "Asphalt" to this "Dragons", every one of them is worth playing again and again. Unfortunately, with the rise of smartphones and the dominance of Apple and Android, many classics slowly disappeared. To be honest, it's quite emotional. I used to be able to play a game for a whole year, but now I can change games faster than I can change clothes.
By the way, this game seems to be still in operation, but I came back last year to try it out and found that although the graphics were more refined, the pure fun was less. Maybe it's because my mentality has changed. At the age of 30, I can no longer look back to the boy who used to lie in bed secretly playing Symbian.
Not to mention, I have to find out if there is an installation package for the retro version of this game, maybe I can play it again on the emulator😌. If you have also played it, you are welcome to talk about the rare species that were matched back then. The highest I ever matched was one called "Star Frost Dragon", with a black background and blue stripes. It was so handsome.
