Love this game! Not too grindy, story aged well but tbh is quite straightforward. Leaves enough room for party experimentation and reclassing. Delicious 2.5D pixel art and has all the charm to expect from a Dragonquest

A very fun game that I invested my time into! I streamed this on Twitch, and it had really nice pacing and very fun moments that I could build off of. Definitely would recommend it, even for just casual play!

It takes everything good about the previous DQIII revisions (minus the Pachisi tracks) and combines it with new visuals, voice acting, new character development and more use of minor sub characters who are previously
