  • A great rpg

    one of the finest RPGs experiences to date, music is splendid,
  • AWESOME

    Bug in this game: if the Mage casts a spell against the enemy and that enemy has already been defeated, the spell will not work. It doesn't automatically get cast on the next enemy. This was the original behaviour of NES version, but should be fixed on the remakes. please FIX this

    Please release Dragon Quest VII 3DS in North America!! Quit forgetting about us!!

    And I love this game! Bought all of them so far.

  • Fantastic stuff!

    You can play as a male or female character in DQIII, and if you choose female there are many changes to the dialogue, such as the King calling you the "Son of xxx" and then begging your pardon later. All in good jest, of course, and actually very funny. You even get to be Queen of a kingdom if you so wish (instead of a King).

    Classic Dragon Quest additions to this game include the fabled monster arena, which means there is much more to do this time around. There's certainly more to explore, and you can create and hire your own teams, to make a party of four to suit any occasion. Having a personality test at the beginning for your character was a nice touch.

    Another great addition to the DQ franchise. Keep 'em coming! :-)

  • Awesome game

    Love it, this is the equivalent to the America version dragon warrior:) plz add landscape mode tho
  • Got it :)

    This should be good. Gonna try it after the first two. :)
  • Amazing

    One of the best JRPG's of all time. a little expensive considering how old the game is, but it's aged gracefully and is well worth the price. If you're a fan of the genre I highly recommend this game and have been having a great time playing it. I do have a small complaint though, they got rid of the monster animations :-( If modern phone's can handle the full DQVIII then they can easily handle the enemy animations, bring them back please!!!

  • Must buy, excellent retro JRPG with iPad/iPhone comfort

    Dragon Quest is classic role-playing series. DQ3 has the best evolved engine and the largest world of the first three Dragon Quests, and this is the latest "state of art" version of DQ3 — with all modern mobile touchscreen bells and whistles: NES → SNES → GBC → iOS. There is a reason this game survived so many platforms and still sales at high prices. It is classic of computer games.

    DQ3 is prequel to the first Dragon Quest, and DQ2 is sequel to it. That's another reason to buy DQ3, even if you aren't ready to buy the whole series. DQ3, also known as Dragon Warrior III, is well-crafted beginning of the epic story about Edric.

    Although this DQ3 is the latest and most updates release, you must be aware it's retro-game from the golden age of Japanese RPG (JRPG). JRGP fandom made pirate self-made English translations of this game, but today you can enjoy officially localized version. Even if you aren't deep into retro-gaming, this application is the less painful way to learn about role-playing heritage without installing old hardware or emulation software.

  • True Classic

    One of the best RPGs ever made, it has lots of customisation options for creating completely unique parties; I'd put it in the same category as the likes of Suikoden in that respect, so £6.99 is an absolute steal!
