### 1/5 — Does not work on iPhone 11

*2026-08-30, version 1.3.1*

Just stuck on loading forever. Yeah my phone is old, but don’t list as compatible with this phone if it isn’t.

### 5/5 — Dragon Quest smash/grow

*2026-08-28, version 1.3.1*

I really love this game

### 5/5 — 9/10

*2026-08-27, version 1.3.1*

The gotcha rolls can be brutal but they can also bless

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2026-08-24, version 1.3.1*

Pool management

### 2/5 — The best square has done

*2026-08-20, version 1.3.1*

Cant lie im really liking this game so far but the grind started already and even being a new player of 3 days its insanely predatory. If square didnt own this i could hope they would increase stamina or give more ways to regen it but were gonna be stuck dragging through mud till EOS

### 5/5 — A Mobile Milestone

*2026-08-18, version 1.3.1*

Update: since I first wrote the review there’s been steady updates and bug fixes, and I’m having an amazing time with the game itself really great. The spike of difficulty getting to chapter 2 was pretty high, but I did switch Brandon’s weapon to a lance even though he’s a mage. Maybe add a way to change their vocation? That way if I do want to switch it up I have the option. I want more variety for abilities as well. So far there a great deal of different builds to run as this is a rogue-like, but the amount of enjoyment I get from getting inventive with the different combinations cannot be understated. I definitely think it could expand as I progress as more and more of the game opens up as you progress and maybe in the beginning they just don’t want to overwhelm you but we’ll see. There’s just so much content I’ve played for hours and only scratched the surface really. Keep the updates coming please! this game is for sure a must play!

Just did the first mission then the game took me to the main menu and kept giving me system error returning to the menu every time I tried to start the game.

### 1/5 — Stamina

*2026-08-17, version 1.3.1*

Was great for a cpl hours. Didn’t want to stop playing.. and then I ran out of stamina and can’t play anymore. So much fun. Videogame that you can’t play. Awesome.

### 2/5 — Stagnant

*2026-08-16, version 1.3.0*

Even if you spend money it’s slow to level up it’s easy if you don’t have a life. I love Dragon Quest though!!!

### 5/5 — Fantastic game

*2026-08-16, version 1.3.0*

I love everything about this game, brings nostalgia for me I would highly recommend this game to everyone

### 5/5 — Un peu de fraîcheur

*2026-08-16*

Enfin un peu de fraîcheur sur cette license, bien fait, sans pub et agréable, merci pour ce jeu
