Dragalia Lost is good at being goofy

By Jenni Lada // 10.3.189.30.18

Dragalia Lost is a game where some people might be tempted to skip through the story. The action-RPG elements are pretty good, and it is so easy to click a button, get a summary of what happened, then move along. There is nothing wrong with that, but taking the time to actually read through what is going on can be a good thing. Why? Because Dragalia Lost is a game that has a sense of humor. There are plenty of lighthearted, funny and downright silly moments to savor. Each one can help make the game more interesting.
