After moving into a ranch on the outskirts of the titular town, the player can raise procedurally-generated dragons, improve their stats by playing minigames, and compete in tournament battles.
This game contains examples of:
- Cat Like Dragons: One dragon species resembles an elongated cat.
- Delightful Dragon: The dragons in this game are pets, and people ride them like horses and use them for help with menial tasks.
- Dinosaurs Are Dragons: One dragon species resembles a T. rex with wings.
- Dragon Variety Pack: The game has seven kinds of dragons: the standard European look, wyverns, Chinese-style lungs, elongated cats, hydras, theropod dinosaurs with wings, and the stout nightmare dragons.
- Fartillery: One of the moves dragons can learn is Putrid Wind, which damages and poisons the target behind them.
- Mundane Utility: Most of the training minigames involve you and your dragon doing chores, such as pulling a wagon, herding sheep, or using its fire breath to heat up a hot spring.
- Procedural Generation: There are seven species of dragons, each with a set list of parts, and they can come in any colour. The player can choose to have one randomly generated, input a code to get a specific dragon, or customise one.
- Retraux: The game has a pixel art style. While the dragons, backgrounds, and lighting are detailed, the faceless humans look like they came out of an Atari 2600 game.
- Shout-Out:
- The description for eels says that dragons are scared of them, just like in How to Train Your Dragon.
- If you input the names of certain fictional dragons as codes in the shrine, you'll get dragons that resemble them. The known ones
include Spyro, Toothless, Haku, Smaug, Mushu, Shenron, Maleficent's dragon form, Drogon, King Ghidora, Saphira, Barioth, and Salamence.
- Stat Grinding: While this game is an RPG, it has no experience points. Instead, you raise your dragons' six stats directly by playing minigames. You can skip the minigames, but the only way to get the highest possible amount of stat boosts and money is to get a perfect score.
- Video Game Time: Each in-game minute lasts a real second, and each season is 30 in-game days long.
