Dragalia Lost

Dragalia Lost was a free-to-play mobile action RPG for iOS and Android, mixing fast, instance-based battles with team building, character collection, and a signature dragon transformation mechanic. Set in a bright fantasy world where humans and dragons coexist, it leaned heavily on co-op play and high-end presentation, making it one of Nintendo’s most ambitious mobile projects before service ended.
