Ratings and reviews

It's a bit silly that the entire series is all portrait view while being clearly premium prices compared to other android games. For this one and for the other games, Widescreen & Gamepad support as well as Customisable Controls (to be where we put them on the screen even in black bars for a retro 4:3 ratio screen) so it's accessible on more devices like tablets would be very welcome. Especially for DQ8! Fun game just frustrating format, shame considering this is the only way to buy from Square.

I can't comment on this as a port because I never played the original but really enjoyed this. It's basic but it's a blueprint of some of my favourite ever games. It's sort of like an early access version of later Enix/Square games. A good price too, I seem to remember a weekend rental would have been £3 30 years ago and that's what this game is. Had no bugs, had a great time grinding it out and while it's not going to be one I'll likely fire up again over other games, really enjoyed it!

The original adventure that started it all for console RPGs. This is an amazing port from Square Enix and it has optimized controls and feels good to pick up and play. It is a relatively short title (It can literally be completed in a day.), however the bulk of your time will be spent grinding power and looking for clues to defeat the dreaded Dragonlord. This is an excellent game for RPG beginners and those looking to get into the franchise in general. Give it a go!
