I was cautious before starting this, due to not really getting on with turn-based RPGs in the past, but what a lovely game ? I?ve never played any of the Dragon Quest series before, so have dived straight in with this one; there?s a lovely old school charm to the revamped graphics & the music is absolutely superb.
From what I can gather the game mechanics haven?t been messed with from the original releases, so you could say it has an ?old fashioned? feel, but as a non-RPG gamer I?m really loving it. You start your quest, travel to villages, towers & so on, acquiring goods, fighting & levelling up as you go.The battles are random & turn based, but if you put the battle text speed up to setting 1, they can fly by ? it makes the action feel fast & furious & gets the blood pumping nicely.
The game is divided up into 5 chapters & I?m only on chapter 2 at the moment; you play as different characters in each chapter & I?m assuming it all ties together at some point in the future.
It?s a charming title indeed ? I?m having a lot of fun with it, & the fact that it can be had for around the ?17 mark is an added bonus.
