Needs Cloud Save and Controller Support
Fun port, controls are ok but it didn’t get the polishing that final fantasy games from the same era received when ported to iOS. Cloud save would be wonderful for ease of moving between my iPad and iPhone, controller support is needed as well. Small thing but an incoming call while playing crashes the game.

Not bad when on sale
Had to play this since I bought the I & II HD remake on Steam and I’m loving it. They definitely added some QOL to the remake. This was a bit of a linear let down and a short one at that. I’m glad my first dive into RPGs as a kid was the original Final Fantasy on my own NES. This was good, fun, but too short.

No Japanese support
I purchased this game intending to play in Japanese without realising you can’t switch languages. Please add this feature!
Fun retro
Good game but annoying to find accurate maps, etc since DQ1&DQ2 remakes were released since they introduced a lot more gameplay
Classic!
Clearly the "pilot" game that gave rise to the series... Kinda basic/short in comparison to II and III, but an excellent game that set the stage for future greatness (and in 1986, it was pretty great back then)!
Save and Sync Issues
The gameplay is great, if it was intended to mimic the NES original, which I played many times as a kid. My two big problems with the game are as follows: (1) You cannot sync to your other Apple devices - I played for a couple of days on my phone, loved it, and wanted to play on a bigger screen using my iPad, but the saved game does not sync to iCloud or Game Center. I would have to start it over again. (2) Quick Save, a save feature under the Misc
menu, does not work. I played for hours, retuned to it the next day, and that progress was gone. It would seem I have to return to the King every time I need to save, which is impractical.

DQ 1
Als eingefleischter JRPG kommt man an diesem Titel nicht vorbei, habe jeden Tag wo ich gespielt habe wirklich genossen und heute nach Tag 2 letztendlich mit Lvl. 17 beendet.
Auf geht’s zu DQ 2

Best $2 you can spend
first off it’s two dollars second off. It’s a great way to spend a couple hours quality of life improvements. Make this an easy purchase great game.
Horrible graphic style and interface
Might as well burn 3 dollars. Horrible port. Great way to give yourself a stroke looking at the poor pixel art from the characters and environment tiles. Interface is clunky as well.
Horrible controls, no screen rotate
No horizontal display option and awkward controls make this a $3 frustration you don’t need. Much better experience playing this as a rom on an emulator for free.
Not Liked
If I could just get a refund…I didn’t find it very fun
No Japanese
Japanese game but with no Japanese language available? Smh
Crashes when winning a battle.
Whenever I win a battle the game freezes and I can’t progress, for a game all about fighting enemies this is egregious and should be fixed immediately. Very disappointed.
Shared update with FF
This is a terrific port of the original game, but it would be fun to see an update similar to the FF pixel remasters that give the option to multiply the gp & exp from 0x to 4x.
Fun
I only knew this game as Dragon Warrior on NES before this. It’s fun, and there’s only one thing I looked up about it out of impatience. (These old games sometimes have small, important details that are very easy to miss.) Like a lot of classic RPGs, this game ends up being very short once you figure out what you’re doing. I probably could’ve done without the king lecturing me every time I got killed, but that’s a small detail.

Simply magick
Played the NA port, Dragon Warrior when I was 7 and was first RPG I ever played. This beautiful remaster of the original is fantastic. Can’t say enough good things about it. Thanks for the nostalgia ⚔️
Excellent Way to Experience A True Classic
This port offers an exceptional experience for one of the most important RPGs of all time. I was skeptical about the dedicated portrait mode, but it turned out to be a very natural way to play the game. Dragon Age is quite simple at its core, but the gameplay elements remain incredibly rewarding to this day. Any fan of JRPGs owes it to themselves to experience this timeless classic.

Controller support
It would be nice.
the first JRPG!
this game is a very grindy. game but a very good game. it also is the first JRPG. but final fantasy defined the genre.
Bugs! BUGS! Bugs!
Embarrassing that a company as big as Square Enix can release one of their biggest and most popular titles on iOS and still after years and years the bugs haven’t been fixed. It’s like abandonware. The sound effects go missing in this game and never come back and you read several reviews here with the same issue yet the developer has not acknowledged or fixed them.
The developer and publisher should have a bit more respect for the Dragon Quest legacy and not release games that are plagued with bugs that are never fixed.
