DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake (NSW)

SQUEE!!! I loved this remake! The graphics facelift of the HD-2D remake were gorgeous! added content made for a new experience. Characters are all custom per DQIII. Reliving my childhood with a new twist was awesome!

I picked up a Nintendo Switch Lite back in 2020, when this was announced. I had no idea it'd take 4 years, but it was worth the wait, and the wait wasn't just for a new coat of paint. Sure, the graphics were greatly overhauled, and are wonderful. I'm only 4-5 hours in, and I can tell there's a lot going on in addition. Quality of Life Adjustments: * Making a character seems way easier than I recall. I remember creating a bunch of characters in hopes to get the stats and personality I want. Well, now you can just back out almost all the way during the process without losing the name and completely restarting. * Three challenge modes accommodate various playstyles. I'm playing through on Drakky Quest mode, as I've seen the content before, and I just want to enjoy (there's no real challenge to it.) Those who really want a challenge can choose Draconian Quest mode. Of course, there's the default Dragon Quest mode that most will likely choose. * Inns now allow you to rest for a while to change the time of day. * You can commit anything you've heard to memory to serve as a journal-like function, from what I can tell. * I was quite pleased that I could turn off the voice acting and lower the sound effects and music, while enhancing the ambient sounds. Encouraging Exploration * In addition to the pots and barrels, the developers have put treasures about the map. As of now, I only know about what I see sparkling in the distance. I suspect that a thief should be able to sniff out other items in the future. * If you see a tree that looks different than the surrounding trees, go check it out. It'll often bring you to a secluded area where you may find a treasure, or an NPC with a hint of sorts. This is absolutely the definitive version of the game.

From the visuals and beautiful crafted art that pays respect to the original, to the quality of life in gameplay mechanics to making the experience more convenient. A new yet familiar adventure awaits! A New Character Class, additional bosses, monsters and enemies that were exclusive to the Game Boy and Super Famicom versions now mixed into this remake, plus new content additions help to shake up combat. This expands to details in combat to make it faster and to items and spells that have been rework and/or new to further the experience. To those who love turn base JRPGs and what to learn about why certain franchises are praised, this is a definite one to check out not just for the history lesson but for the simple yet fun factor as well. New System changes include: - You Now Save in Churches - Change the Difficulty Level - Story Progress and Objectives Bars - Added "Rest" Option to Inns - Equip Up to Two Accessories - Some Personalities Have Different Names - Customization For Characters is Available - Help Feature Available in Adventure Logs From new side content, more side stories and scenes to give the story a more larger context view of events. This helps in only adding to scenes while respecting the original vision in narrative. This is definitely a definitive version worth experiencing. Square Enix and Artdink have done a beautiful job in creating a modernized version for first time players while respecting and adding to the past. Which by definition, is what a remake should strive for.

It's a great game with pixel art graphics and a good turn-based combat system.

Haven't had time to play yet will eventually looks like a good remaster/remake of the game have a back log of games to catch up on over time will update review in future if I find the time. Complete game on Cartridge from what I know so its a worthy purchase.

I played each of the main Dragon Quest games since the release of the original Dragon Warrior, and I've enjoyed each one. I was curious to try this one given the overall refresh of gameplay, graphics, and story. Overall I'm impressed. Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake provides an opportunity to revisit the iconic Dragon Quest III but in a modern and refreshing manner. The gameplay is smooth and fun, yet retains the subtle quirkiness of the original, such as character movements. The game is smooth, but not overly so, and therefore is reminiscent of an old school RPG. I'm only a couple hours in, but this is a great game which I look forward to playing through to completion. Besides the iconic nature of the Dragon Quest series and the general refresh, there are a number of great features. First is the frequent autosave - this allows you to play the game in smaller increments if desired, without seeking out a designated save point. Second, the customization at the beginning is also nice - this allows you to select among three difficulty levels, the most difficult, Draconian feels reminiscent of the difficulty of old school RPGs which is a great touch and offers a fresh challenge for those revisiting Dragon Quest III. Even better, this may be changed at any point throughout the adventure. Lastly, I really like the bite-sized tutorials sprinkled throughout the adventure. These are instructive, serve as useful reminders, and are seamlessly integrated within the main quest. Overall Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is a nostalgic experience for existing fans of the franchise, but is also a great jumping on point for those new to the series. It incorporates fresh features while remaining true to the original. Highly recommended.

Great Port! Ready you classic game enthusiasts? It’s great, the choice test at the beginning made me go back three times just to see which one I could get. The soundtrack is amazing. The graphics are great for a 2.5 HD anyway one issue is there doesn’t seem to be a diagonal sprite, but that’s not that big deal all in all great game highly recommended!

Item as described. Perfect condition.

Essa remasterização surpreende pela qualidade dos gráficos e também da trilha sonora orquestrada.

Very good price and fast delivery.

商品付帯のDLCがあるし長年私のベスト一位のゲームだったから記念にXbox初パッケージに良いかなと思い購入。 海外からだから追加や到着で怖かったという経験的にも良かった。

Arrived Well protected, cant wait to play it!

Jogo lindo, difícil de achar com preço bom!
