DRAGON QUEST III Reviews

Worth the buy

gahth4tfR!

I was skeptical about spending so much on a game. But the port was super well done and the game is a classic turn based RPG.

Good remake but...

I love DQ3 so much, however, everything is so small on the new iPhone XS Max. Please optimize this for latest phones so that I can enjoy this amazing game.

I love the whole DQ series and this is the first game that I have experienced that’s it crashes ALL THE TIME. It’s very annoying. Can’t really play as it always freezing. My iOS software is up to date so it’s not that. Very frustrated.

Nice game

Tribute to the old one, great controls and gives you that childhood fun, but the games difficulty was extremely reduced due to auto save and quick save, it is also reduced by personality’s and by your party auto fighting mode, your casters will cast the perfect spells and will change what they do based on what happens before their turn in the round, and having the bag, where you can store 99 herbs so you can heal after every battle without the cost of mana, take the golden claw for example, extremely hard to get in the original, all spells fizzle in the basement of the pyramid and you fight every other step, like 50 fights from the claw to the exit, quick save and 99 herbs = insta win, back in the day you could only bring what your guys were carrying and no saving until you got back.... excellent remake, but needs an original mode ( would be cool if it had an original graphics mode that you can toggle on and off too)

15 levels in, all saves disappeared

And now the gam doesn’t save anymore. Waste of my time...

Adventure that will make you think and feel when you least suspect it

Daydream Creature

This port is based on the Super Famicom version - the most visually detailed version of the game, and so lacks the pachisi tracks, monster medals, and challenge dungeon of the GBC port. Fine with me, because those features were annoying; I’d take the improved visuals over them any day! (There is a visual mistake in the scrolling map on the title screen, though; wait and you’ll see it.) DQ3’s interest (beyond making your own party - my favorite part) is less in a story and more in the travel decisions and resource management I make so that I’m not worn down by random encounters or get lost in the maze-like dungeons. Its conceptual simplicity belies this allure of critical choice found amid detailed pixel landscapes, party choice, and the emotional reward of its victory bleeps and number bloops. Though it has no involved, sweeping narrative, Dragon Quest III has little pieces of drama hidden across its play hours, even beyond the role-playing personality quiz at the beginning. The night before I left home, the grandpa that so jovially spoke of how I took after my departed, heroic father (and his father before him, he added with a wink), was weeping in his sleep for his son to return. I remembered this when I later told a father a continent away that his missing son had followed a lover to the bottom of a lake, and he asked between sobs to tell me it wasn’t true. After an outing gone wrong, out of morbid curiosity, I dragged the heroine’s coffin home to her mother on the way to resurrect her. The change in the mother’s usual demeanor was haunting. There are many happy and funny moments too. Dragon Quest typically plays with its players’ expectations, perceptions, and - at times - hearts. If you investigate, perhaps you too will stumble into the humanity that has delighted many Dragon Quest fans over the years.

Best classic rpg on mobile

seancassidy999

This is my favorite classic rpg on mobile yet, remake or new, and I play a lot of them. The port to mobile was done perfectly. It runs like a dream, has a quick save, and an upfront price tag with no microtransactions or ads. The difficulty is low which is great because you can burn through it or really dig into the character development as the game was originally designed. Also this is just an awesome game. It’s tough to get used to the complexity but once you dig in you appreciate how well designed it is. The creators put a lot into this game and it shows. I just came off trying the free SEGA console rpg ports to mobile, and the difference is night and day. SEGA offers them free but you have to watch an ad just to save the game. What a collosal blunder. Whoever made that call doesn’t know that save-scumming is basically required for these old rpg titles. That made all those old classic SEGA rpgs utterly unplayable on mobile. The Dragon Quest series is ported just right. Well done. Money well spent.

Classic RPG

LordVerkins

Great old school RPG, the mobile version is pretty easy compared to a lot of JRPGs but the gameplay is still fun. Also the Hero from Dragon Quest 3 will appear as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
