Little Dragon's Café is a casual sim/exploration game which is simply overflowing with charm. It's easy to get drawn in by the game's forgiving gameplay, great music, heartwarming stories, and dramatic day-night changes, and hard to put down, given all there is to do post-game. While its sim mechanics aren't especially deep, LDC provides a delightful way to escape the woes of the real world alongside your own, adorable pet dragon.

My wife had me buy this game for her after she saw it at a friends home. She keeps playing it for a couple weeks now, which means quite a lot in her case. The graphics are cute, the peaceful principle makes it low tense. It combines different game elements, some world exploration on one end, some "hit the right button at the right time" on the other, and some "pamper your little dragon and watch grow up" in the middle. The reason for only 4 stars is, that it becomes somewhat repetitive at some point and progress is slow (this is my wife's judgement). The latter is mainly due to the limited time available for world exploration each (in game) day before one has to return to the cafe to take care of paying customers.

This game is a pick-up and play game. You can play in short bursts if you want. It's a simple, peaceful story.

I was skeptical when my son wanted this game because he usually gets tired of games in a day. But this game has just enough required reading that it makes it somewhat educational (as in they are practicing their reading) and its also pretty fun to play. The graphics are pretty and its fun to see your dragon grow. The gameplay can get repetitive and my son tends to loose interest for a few days and then come back to play again which is fine. I am just happy it is age appropriate and has no violence or derogatory language.

Fun story, cute game, but the software performance is terrible. When switching rooms or going outdoors in the story it would take so long to load it was distracting from the experience and storyline.
