Few game series have the fame and wide spread appeal that Dragon Quest enjoys. An RPG series stretching back three decades with talents the likes of Akira Toriyama tied to its creation and continued innovations, it has entertained gamers for years with tales of chosen heroes overcoming untold evils with the help of lovable party members. Today, we've got all 11 main entries ranked from fine to phenomenal.
First footage of Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake has been revealed, following last year's Dragon Quest 3 remake.
I've never played a DQ game, but this honestly makes me want to check it out. I really dig that art style.
Grab DQ III HD/2D Remake. It comes chronologically before these two. It's out now.
And, if you play it first, the dev said there's a surprise for when you play I & II.
I never played one till I played 11 and as an old school turnbased fella, I don't know why i waited so long. Its pure turnbased jrpg goodness. If that's your cup of tea you have to give them a try. Now I'm gonna play all of them
I remember getting Dragon Warrior for free with a one year subscription to Nintendo Power. Super deal! Might just have to pick it up again.
Dragon Quest is one of the cornerstone JRPG series that helped make the genre what it is today, and these are the best games.
Dragon Quest VIII 4th? Yikes. That's easily number 1 for me. I'd love to be able to play it again on newer consoles.
III, XI and VIII are my top 3 in that order. While I think XI is the better game overall my nostalgia for III will never be beat.
3 for me too because I loved that you could build your own town. Then the monster hunting and monster arena were such a great side distraction.
And, of course, the companions, jobs etc.
Thanks to their innovative approach to gaming, RPGs like Dark Souls, Final Fantasy VII, and Dragon Quest left a significant impact on the genre.
Dragon Quest 8 is Dragon Quest at it's peak. If 11 ends up being as good, then It will be an excellent game.
I played Dragon Warrior, DQ III, DQ IV, DQ VIII and DQ IX. 8 to me is the best one I played out of the bunch. I'll find out how good XI is next year. It should be fine though.
