This is one of those not beginner friendly type of game Cuz the difficulty of the game But the game is really fun Recommend trying! ### 5/5 — Pretty fun but its Pay to Win and there’s some AWFUL Bugs *2023-10-01* I mean its fun BUT THERE ARE SOME BUGS THAT ARE THE WORST And this game Pay to Win for example there is 2 Different types of Gems Normal Gems and Paid Gems Normal Gems u get them from Somewhere like Beating Lvls And like Daily rewards But Paid gems is from paying to get this type of gem I Think its pretty DUMB and there’s one thing that bugs me is When you start playing the game With for example WiFi You can only play with that WIFI ONLY So that means after that you can’t play with like mobile data which is SO ANNOYING LIKE WHAT IS THAT! and the games Events are real hard For example I played the Killing machine Revenge Special battle And i STAND NO CHANCE I DID LIKE 0 DMG I had to Retreat! This is one of those not beginner friendly type of game Cuz the difficulty of the game But the game is really fun Recommend trying! ### 5/5 — Pretty fun but its 100% Pay to Win and there’s some AWFUL Bugs *2023-09-26* I mean its fun BUT THERE ARE SOME BUGS THAT ARE THE WORST And this game Pay to Win Sadly for example there is 2 Different types of Gems Normal Gems and Paid Gems Normal Gems u get them from Somewhere like Events And like Daily rewards But Paid gems is from paying to get this type of gem I Think its pretty DUMB and there’s one thing that bugs me in battle is how do u get Mana back? Like does it regenerate? For example u used a strong Move that costs a LOT of Mana and then u have like Small amount of mana left LIKE BRUH but the game itself is PRETTY GOOD ### 5/5 — I have a neat idea for the game. *2023-07-19* You did a final fantasy bewotv event, I think you should do a final fantasy 7 event with cloud as character you get after first chapter finished and Barret and Areth as the characters you get from 10 tickets at once in chance 15 times or 3000 gems for 15 times and in the second part it’s red 13 and Tifa for the same rule and in the third part it’s Sephiroth and Ramuh. (Idea for cloud his abilities are blade beam, Limit charge which enhances Omnislash’s attack power, and his coup de grace is Omnislash.) idea for red 13 you could retexture a great Sabre cat and make it unique and give it the name red 13 and give it new abilities. Also for ramuh retexture Kiryl no hat give him a robe replace his spear with a staff and make his abilities thunder, thundara, thundaga, lightning enhance, and his coup de grace is mega thunder storm which effects 9 spaces of the stage. The equipment is buster sword and the stats are +40 attack, areth’s staff and the stats are +30 mp, and tifa’s glove and the stats are +20 agility. I’m just recommending it for final fantasy fans. But it is a great game five stars for me. ### 5/5 — Unquestionably great *2022-12-23, version 3.1.2* A game with balance in mind in every way, for the daily player, for the casual player, multiplayer driven or self motivated gamer its got something for everyone. So many playable favorites from all of the games fans grew up with and tantalizing ease for those new to the franchise 5 star without doubt! ### 5/5 — Great for Dragon Quest fans *2022-10-21, version 3.0.0* This game is great for those who are fans of the Dragon Quest games as this includes many monsters and characters from the series. It could probably even be enjoyed by those who are not fans of the series as this is a unique game that lets you have characters that are of every shape and size while most are not even human. The story is very cute and quirky make me smile every time. ### 5/5 — My new addiction *2022-10-13, version 3.0.0* I’m not one for mobile games, but this is a blast. I’ve always been a huge Dragon Quest fan so maybe I’m bias but this game is colorful and fun just like the rest of the franchise. I enjoy the monster collecting aspect of it as well as the tactics and while the story isn’t the greatest thing ever, it’s definitely holding my interest and the characters are as lovable as dragon quest characters tend to be! ### 3/5 — Very generous in the beginning *2022-09-26, version 2.7.1* DQ Tact was very addicting in the beginning. You get lots of level up materials, upgrade materials, etc. Once that’s over, the grind begins and the game becomes a chore to play. All you can do is progress the story to a certain point (before it becomes too hard) and play all the little side missions. Playing in the arena is tough as you may only be matched with people way above you. Their teams are like 4 S rank (level 100+) characters that new players likely do not have. You just get wiped out and it doesn’t rematch you to a lower level team. There’s no way to progress in some of the arenas. That being said, I still do enjoy playing from time to time. Log-in bonuses can be great, such as free scout tickets for S rank team members. ### 1/5 — Mediocre game horrible backup options *2022-01-22, version 2.1.3* I have played this game in the past and wanted to get back into it. I linked my account with my google account awhile back, but now I got a new phone and when trying to access my old account I get an error. “ A backup cannot be created. Backup save data for a different device is already associated with this account.” After researching this, I have to delete or do something on that old phone which I don’t have? Why? What kind of stupid and old/ antiquated way of logging in is this? I was going to give the game another shot, but I’m not starting over (especially when I payed a few into my last account) I shouldn’t have to go through so much trouble just to sign into my account!!!! Absolutely dumb. ### 5/5 — Cute monsters and fun battles *2022-01-18, version 2.1.3* Hands down the best free to play to game I’ve ever played. There is loads of free content, and while it does have cash shop none of it is essential to progress, there are no items or monsters that can’t be earned through just playing the game. ## Frequently asked questions about DRAGON QUEST TACT ### What is this app about?
