Reviews for DRAGON QUEST

Overall, I like it. I played this on the NES back in the day. It was called Dragon Warrior then, I think. Was my first rpg and I was hooked. I’ve not played this through yet but it seems faithful to the story. I know the dialogue is updated and the sound track is remastered. […]

Features and functions stayed true to the original for the most part (key difference was tiles or important items on the ground sparkled). The only item to call out is that compared to the original NES game you level up SUPER fast. Monsters give a lot more gold and XP. This removes a lot of […]

I started with dragon quest builders and the story is witty and charming enough to make me want more, so I decided to start at the beginning. This game was much shorter than I thought but the length was perfect for the story I think. There were a few jokes but mostly oh no, please […]

Surprisngly strong port. The simplicity of the game allows for excellent controls and an experience significantly more satisfying (and somehow less grindy) than your average mobile game. Great experience at a great price, just don’t be afraid to look something up. This game came with a Nintendo Power subscription for a reason. (Keep in mind […]

Know what you’re getting into, this game has some very dated and annoying design choices… But it birthed an entire genre and is still easy enough to play and get into to this day. I wouldn’t recommend this as anyone’s first dragon quest game unless they’re in it for the retro appeal, but if you’re […]

This is one of few games I would actually recommend the mobile version of – there’s no complex story to remember, and the game is so mechanically simple you can whiz through grinding sections on a subway and it feels like nothing. Grinding this way makes the game much more manageable, to the point it’s […]

I loved the original dragon warrior game. This mobile version is similar and adds a lot of quality of life improvements such as saving anywhere any time, adding a bank to store useless items, and a few others. My only complaint is that the game is way easier than the original game was. I easily […]

I am 33 years old. I have never played Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy games. I was a hardcore gamer as a youth, but never got into RPG’s and don’t play anything anymore. I finished the book I was reading and wanted an adventure I could play through and did some research and ended up […]

This is Dragon Quest 1 in its best form. For those complaining about the controls, it’s likely that they haven’t noticed you can move your character from anywhere. Swipe up and hold, and you move up. Move your finger down, relative to that and you’ll walk down. This is a game PERFECT for phones and […]

Best gaming experience on mobile so far. The game works great on my phone and never crashed once. This was my first Dragon Quest game and it was great for the price. The story and game play is simple but so much fun. This is JRPG at its roots. Try beating it without a guide […]

This is a port of the SNES remake of Dragon Quest (Warrior) and thus is much easier than the original NES version. Random battles happen very infrequently and there is no need to randomly search areas while exploring as any hidden items either glow on the ground or an exclamation point (!) will appear above […]

First off, let me just say the touch controls work perfectly. Played through the whole game and at no point were they a hindrance. The game itself is a fun RPG. Didn’t play the NES original so I can’t speak to changes or refinements (although I think they may have renamed a few spells). They […]

This was my first time ever playing this game and it was good and fun overall. Controls worked well and the interface was simple. Portrait mode and quick save made it easy to play whenever. The main downside is how short it is, I definitely expected more. It’s also an old rpg so don’t expect […]

Loved this game on the NES and this is a very good port. So many people dislike the controls, but they worked great for me. There’s also few layout options, so no worries. Portrait (as this game is) vs landscape is another thing other reviewers complain about. Either way works for me, so this is […]

Like for many of you it’s easier nowadays to find time to play cell phone games 😐. This was my second Dragon Quest 🐲download, and I decided to take it to where it all began for ol’ times sake. It is indeed a quick game compared to the other installments hence the four ⭐ rating, […]

The original adventure that started it all for console RPGs. This is an amazing port from Square Enix and it has optimized controls and feels good to pick up and play. It is a relatively short title (It can literally be completed in a day.), however the bulk of your time will be spent grinding […]

I first got addicted to the Dragon Quest games with VIII on the Wii. I had been trying to find the first one for years, so I was pretty stoked to see this one. Alas, as others have stated, the menu button doesn’t function, you just move right :'( Update; It’s fixed and perfect! Thank […]

nostalgia trip! I saw this on the app store and was gripped with indecision over if I should buy it or not. but then I remembered a young princess once said to me, “but thou must!” and who am I to deny princess Gwaelin? The remake is pretty, but just like the original, it’s a […]

I have many fond memories of playing this game on the NES so it’s awesome that you can get much of the original experience in a mobile app. First off, this game just works: no ads, no account to set up. You start the game and play from start to finish. The controls have some […]

I’ve never played the dragon quest series, this was my first playthrough. Just a game I decided to get while traveling. Simple turn based dungeon crawler. Similar to final fantasy games . Not too much thought into the gear, story was simple. I’ve beat the game and gone on to DQ2 which is this game, […]
