8 of 15I love the monster taming mechanic. Creating my own party was very enjoyable. The music is great and the story is even a little heart wrenching at times. Fantastic game for sure.
You will love this game if you are a portrait mode nutter. There is no support for landscape mode so you see less of the environment.
It turns out, you really can't go back. These games require a ton of grinding that just isn't worth your time as an adult. As a kid with nothing better to do you don't remember it that way. But as an adult, if you're honest, this just feels like a tedious time sink. If you really want to play it, grab the original ROM on a NES emulator where you can skip the tedium.<br/><br/>Also: the mobile controls are TERRIBLE. Most of the game will be playable but frustrating--be prepared to enter a level and leave and enter and leave etc because the directional pad is so poor. But other parts of the game that require fine control, like pushing rocks or avoiding holes, is flat out obnoxious.
Dragon Quest is one of my favorite series, and DQ5 is easily one of its best entries. Please bring this game to modern consoles Square Enix
One of the greatest games of all time and this is true to the 3ds remake minus one thing which is controller support. Please please please add backbone or at least Bluetooth support
Since the update to allow podcasts audio behind the game music, this game is even easier to enjoy! Would love to see the same for DQ8!
This is my favorite Dragon Quest game ever. It would have been perfect if I could switch it to a landscape mode.
Great overall game, I’ve been playing dragon quest games since I was 9 years old but the story for this was probably one of the best. Worth it.
