A monster-collection game with a cool arcade twist (coin dropper machine)

SEGA has launched Dragon Coins, the studio’s monster-collection RPG for iOS devices. Players must battle, collect, and level up their team on an epic adventure to become the Coin Master.

Dragon Coins combines RPG battle and party management systems with the addictiveness of an arcade coin-dozer / coin dropping machine.

“Charge your monsters up for attack by dropping coins on the moving platform! Push coins off the edge and watch them attack! Lead your team to victory as you master the art of coin dropping,” says SEGA.

The game’s trailer explains it best. Go ahead and watch the clip embedded at the bottom of this article for an idea of what to expect. Don’t think that if Dragon Coins is free to download it’s also free to play with all its features turned on full blast. SEGA may seem generous at first but, as most of its iOS apps, Dragon Coins is chock-full of in-app purchases, some going as high as $99.99 (€79.99)

The game’s interface is localized in English only, while the minimum firmware requirement (iOS 5) suggests it can be played on virtually any iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad currently in circulation today. Download Dragon Coins and have a blast, but don’t forget to turn off the in-app purchases if you’re getting it for the kids.
