Amazing

Please update all of your titles for iPhone X. This is awesome!

Still good after almost 30 years

After playing Dragon Quest Builders, which takes place with this game’s plot line, I felt like I should go back and play this game. The last time was nearly 30 years when it came to the US. I figured this version should be the one to play. At first the updated graphics were a bit jarring, but I got over that quickly. Some of the game play elements are a little easier than its first incarnation, but I still had a lot of fun with this and it brought back all those memories. On to the next one...

Bug fixed :)

Thankfully, an update was just released that fixed the back button being untappable on iPhone 6 devices. This is probably the best was to play the game, good job devs.

Still a great game!

This game was great when it originally came out and it’s value has not diminished over the years. Developers: Please fix the back button, it doesn’t work very when exiting menus.

Fun, but disappointing

I was excited to see a bug fix update. After all this time, what bugs did they fix? Well, not the non-integer scaling bug. Basically the game is rendered to a weird internal resolution such that the ratio of the internal resolution to the actual resolution is not an integer, and this results in the very ugly game art. Which is sad, because the new artwork looks like it’d be pretty good otherwise, and of course the music is the best that Dragon Quest 1 has ever sounded. Maybe next update.

Button Bug fixed in latest release

I notified Square Enix of the issue in this game when I contacted them about the same one in Dragon Quest 3. The support ticket was escalated with a fix on the App Store a few days later. Kudos to the app developers on fixing this! What issue was: Broken back button and button for switching directional pad on iOS 11 + iPhone SE. App works ok on iOS 9 + iPhone 4S This game is a classic RPG and the Portrait oriented UI and touch controls work well too. Treat yourself and get this app.

Thou shalt love this game, if thou art inclined to play

This incarnation captureth all that was the original Dragon Warrior, yet it lacketh a true understanding of Early Modern English. I shall grant thee that ye olde NES game suffered worse. But if it be thine desire to bear witness to a classic for all tyme, then thou shouldst look no further. It be a fantastic adventure for a paltry sum of silver coins. Thy quest awaits thee!

Generally worth it

The game plays pretty easy, it is definitely a game from the 80’s. And it’s a great casual game to have on your phone to play in downtime. The level progression is strong, where you definitely feel that your character is getting stronger. The bosses where they exist are challenging but not impossible. Really I only have a few negative critiques (but a lot of these are just because of the games age): 1- the game is artificially made longer by the amount of world traveling that’s needed, the goal points that require you to travel between are on opposite sides of the world and the trek is done on foot exclusively. 2- not a single NPC is story compelling in the slightest. Mostly non existent actually. When I think about it the protagonists story is actually very weak as well.. 3- there is no direction to point you from point A To point B. Not that I like games holding my hands, but there is nothing in the game indicating any direction at all to complete the game. It’s quite literally just “to kill the dragon lord” and you’re expected just figure it out yourself. All that aside it still plays pretty nice, it’s a short game and I would say the price is right on the game. You pay for what you get here.

Can’t save

I would really love to rate this 5 stars however it won’t create a save file for me. I’ll go to the save at the king and also do the quick save but when I close the game and come back I don’t have a save file.
