An (almost) perfect port. – DRAGON QUEST V Review

The DS Remake of this amazing game is the reason I got into DEEP long RPG franchises. This port brings back my younger self in me, feeling like I AM the hero. The music is crisper, the lack of the big break in the top and bottom DS screens is a HUGE bonus, and the load time is almost nothing. The only problems I have are minor at best. The grammar is a bit off at times, saying a slime when there are seven or eight. And I have big thumbs, so the largest movement circle is blocky on screen, and I seem to bump the menu buttons and times. I did have it crash once randomly when I was (spoilers-in the cave to get your dads letter) but the auto save was maybe 5 min before. All in all it's an amazing port. It is an amazing game, and I can't wait to go beat estark.
