About the Game

DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake is a stunning reimagining of the first two legendary adventures in the Erdrick trilogy, brought together in one package.

(Players can play either DRAGON QUEST I or II whenever they want by selecting their preferred title on the game's start screen.)

DRAGON QUEST I Story:

Thanks to the heroic efforts of the legendary Erdrick, the Lord of the Underworld was defeated and peace returned to the land of Alefgard. Yet this peace was not to last, as the diabolical Dragonlord has risen and unleashed hordes of monsters on the realm once more. Now, descendant of Erdrick, it is your destiny to defeat this new evil and rescue the world from its plight!

The Setting:
This tale takes place in the land of Alefgard, a realm given shape by a goddess known as Rubiss. The hero travels the land hoping to slay the mighty Dragonlord once and for all. Along the way he meets plenty of charming characters and faces numerous fearsome foes.

DRAGON QUEST II Story:

Many years have passed since Alefgard was saved at the hero's hand, earning him the same title as his storied forebear. The descendants of this Erdrick and his scions founded three kingdoms that thrived in peacetime. Yet, darkness stirs once more and a sudden invasion of malicious monsters plunges the world into shadow again. All that stands between the forces of evil and their wicked ambitions is a band of young princes and princesses of Erdrick's lineage. The time has come for them to venture forth and honor their ancestor's legacy!

The Setting:
Explore a world filled with locales visited by the legendary hero as well as a host of new towns, castles, caves, and dungeons.
As the story progresses, you'll obtain a ship, which will allow you to traverse the seas and rivers, and broaden your horizons ever further.

The Party:
The Prince of Midenhall, the game's protagonist, is joined on his quest by his cousins the Prince of Cannock, the Princess of Moonbrooke and, entirely new to this version of the game, the Princess of Cannock. These four descendants of the legendary hero, Erdrick, band together to protect the world from evil forces.

Turn-based Battles:
Enjoy the traditional turn-based battles the series is known for. Attack with an assembly of weapons and let loose all kinds of spells and abilities to slay the many menacing monsters.

Beware of what you're getting into here! ___ This game is a Remake package of the first two Dragon Quest games that totally revamps everything but the foundation of those two classic. Both games look gorgeous in that

Is this a remake of Dragon Quest 1 and 2 or is this a reimagining? Well, it's both. From a story perspective it greatly expands on the barebones events of the original games and ultimately reframes them as proper

I feel a little absurd saying this but the game is just flat out too difficult. It isn't the hardest game I've played but the balance is just nonsense. You can be oneshotting enemies in the overworld, move to the next

If you're an oldie like me this game brings back some serious nostalgia, even though it is a remake there is enough core parts of the original to revive those memories of playing as a kid when it first came out. I

Love DQ1, it was a nice reminder of my early childhood and the NES. End area enemies are a drag in that too many of them gave multiple attacks. Despite that it was a great experience. Only just started DQ2, so no real

They added too many pointless chores and too much repetitive exposition to the story in DQ1 and failed to balance the combat around the addition of multiple enemies. The sigil ability system feels awful and convoluted
