I still love this game!
This is a localization of the Japanese port of Dragon Quest VIII, so it lacks the fluff that Americans (and Europeans?) got when that was localized. It's a gorgeous game, it sounds beautiful, and it’s just a joy to play. I’m playing it all over again in 2026 and it somehow has aged like fine wine.
There are no micro transactions, no stamina bars, none of that. You just play at your own pace and go on a meaningful adventure.
I actually appreciate the one handed control scheme and am surprised that I felt differently years ago. Perhaps it’s because I’m playing on a bigger phone now, but it feels just right to me now. I can also have lunch and play or sneak in a quick battle while I wait for something else.
The other Dragon Quest mainline games are great on iOS but I still appreciate how modern this one feels even today. I wonder how a mobile port of Dragon Quest XI would look like…
In any case, I highly recommend this game!!

WAY BEFORE ITS TIME
ABSOLUTELY IMMACULATE GAME AND EVERYTHING ABOUT IT AND NOW ITS $12
Eine Frechheit!
Also dieses Spiel ist eine einzige Frechheit. Nicht nur, dass dieses Format (hochkant) schlecht spielbar ist, es ist auch weder lokalisiert noch gibt es eine Sprachausgabe.
Fast so schlimm wie diese Tatsachen ist, dass Square Enix auf die Kritik an diesem Spiel nicht eingeht und keine Abhilfe schafft.
Ich kaufe viel von SE und bin auch schon ewig Fan, jedoch ist so eine Verwurstung eines Klassikers inakzeptabel. Dafür einen solch stolzen Preis zu verlangen, setzt dem Ganzen noch die Krone auf.
