Prologue

Game Features
– Simple, Accessible Controls
The control system has been streamlined to work perfectly with modern touch interfaces.
The position of the directional pad can be adjusted freely, enabling players to switch between one-handed and two-handed play with a tap of the screen.
The combat system has also been reworked, allowing for one-tap battles as well as more complex play.

– The Tension System
During battle, you can select 'Psyche Up' to give your next attack some extra oomph!
The more you psyche a character up, the higher their tension will rise, until they finally reach an insane state known as super-high tension!

– Skill Points
Skill points are earned when your characters level up, and can be assigned to various skills in order to learn new spells and abilities.
This system allows you to perfectly tailor your team to your liking.

– Monster Teams
Certain monsters found in the field can be scouted for your monster team – if you're tough enough to beat them, that is!
Once assembled, your crack squad can take part in the fiercely contested tournaments held at the monster arena, and can even come to your aid in battle!

– The Alchemy Pot
Combine existing items to create entirely new ones!
Even the most unassuming objects could be ingredients for the greatest items of all!
Seek out the recipes hidden all over the world, and see if you can cook up something truly special!

– The Casino
Fans of the series will be pleased to learn that the casino is back, and fully-equipped for fun!
This time around, there are three exciting activities to enjoy: bingo, slot machines and roulette!
Just don't get so caught up in the action that you forget your adventure entirely!

Reviews

Not the Complete Game!
Pleas fix

Paid $19.99 for Dragon Quest 8. Where is the voice acting? Description says it’s the complete game, well it’s not. I bought this for my 3.5 year old who loves rpgs and I bought this expecting the game as advertised! I’m not sure why you would sell the game without the voices as an option. It’s an easy fix and just seems lazy that the voice acting in the languages previously available are not now available.

Thank God that awful VA is gone

The English dub of this was always ruined emersion for me. It’s much better when you get to read dialogue in your head.

Great game, painful performance
Yaywalter

Got my XS Max today, and while I’m not surprised to see that DQ8 still runs at the same juddery 20-or-less FPS that it does on my 6S (since it also ran about as well on my old iPhone 5), I do think it’s criminal that such a great game has such a poor iOS port. Play it on PS2 or 3DS instead, or hold out for a possible PC or Switch port.

Landscape mode
David from Phoenix

Is there any way to make the game available in landscape mode?

Extra characters added?
t3hchri5

Will there ever be an update to have the other characters added? The game is good, but for 20 bucks updates would be nice.

Buyer Beware

This is mostly in regards to how S.E. basically ignores their games after three months. It needs an update to at least support iPhone X, and to fix the issue it’s had almost since launch with iCloud saves. I haven’t been able to play it to completion because I lose my save data at some point. The games amazing, it just needs some fixing.

Cloud saves don’t work, devs abandoned this app
thegraffix

Cloud saves would make a world of difference and they used to work until the last update. The feature has not worked since. Port is decent although there are no voices and the controls can get frustrating as well as the inability to play landscape. Buy a better port on a different console/device, this is not worth the money since they don’t support the app any longer and won’t resolve the bugs they introduced with their last update. Pretty disappointing.

Good game but needs Cloud Save Fix
Noctistidussquallcloud

I was enjoyinh this game and made much progress! However I deleted the game to do an update thinking I could come back to it. But now all my progress is lost because Cloud Save is not working. Please fix this!

Please update
Butterknives1382

Please update with the 3ds added content and full orchestral soundtrack. Also some other quAlity of life additions would be helpful and really appreciated! A speed up feature and perhaps even being able to start the game from a point well into the game for veteran players could be a fun way to get interest up. We love Dragon Quest here in the US! Please support international markets and bring more DQ here!!!

Chop pagans.

Please fix iCloud function. It’s very disappointing. All other cloud saves work on all other square games. When you get a new device you cannot keep playing from where you are. You would have to start over. And after having to pay a good price for the game that is not right at all.
