Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
108 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If youre a DQ fan, you'll love this game as it's basically an open world version of the series we love.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
106 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a joy to play - it posesses both a well directed and nicely nuanced story (one with a twist or two for those who seek it) and characters that far more than simply amorphous blobs of j-art - they possess all the character, spunk and vividness of an actual, dedicated character.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
69 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It’s a good level, and in fact, I felt the previous levels were simplistic (usually three different levels taking between ten minutes) but between each of those levels are a space to change skills and re-equip weapons as well as save.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game avoids becoming just another "Warriors-esque masher" by implementing charm, beautiful opimization, well implemented and executed graphics, series loyalty, and an empathetic and well scaled difficulty system.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
37 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Add me as a friend if you want multiplayer help, I'd be glad to be at your side.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The character customization is great (you can change classes at any time), just wish there were more outfits.
