Dragon Quest VI is a traditional turn-based RPG which features random battles and a character class system that the Hero and his party members acquire new skills and spells. The Hero travels around the world gathering a party throughout his adventure. To progress in the story, the party must defeat specific boss monsters or trigger specific flags. In order to defeat the bosses, the player must spend time training the party by gaining experience points from battles to advance in character and class levels.
Eyes on FF: "I've been doing these reviews for a while now and you'll notice that, barring that one hiccup in the form of Dragon Quest IV, my experience with the series has been that every subsequent installment has been better than the last. Dragon Quest uses a simple formula to great effect. Some may call it dated, but what it does, it does extremely well, and though the changes between installments are much more subtle than, say, in Final Fantasy, the quality still consistently rises between one installment and the next. And then we reach this game. Dragon Quest V was by many regarded the best in the series, and the pinnacle of the Zenithian Trilogy. Dragon Quest VI sits ever in its shadow, forgotten by most, underwhelming in the minds of those who remembered it. But is this game truly such a black sheep?"
So far 2015 has been a banner year for Android RPGs. While, unfortunately, we haven’t exactly seen a straight Western RPG lately, Android has, on the other hand, in this third quarter of 2015, developed a potpourri of new digital role-playing games. This year’s best include Action RPGs, Puzzle RPGs, ports of classic JRPGs, as well as a contemporary JRPG, and finally a couple of indies inspired, in part, by Western RPGs. Among these there are, thankfully, a decent-sized contingent of mobile-only titles. Regardless of the intended audience or sub-genre, however, each and every title below is deserving of its spot on this list in spades. What we have, considered as a whole, is a solid and eclectic spread, one that is reflective of the veritable smorgasbord of delights that Android gaming is becoming.
TTP:" Earlier this month the classic entry of the Dragon Quest series Dragon Quest VI: Realms Of Revelation has been made available on the Japanese App Store. English speaking fans of the series didn’t expect the game to surface on the App Store before a few months but Square Enix surprised pretty much everybody by releasing the English version of the game a few hours ago."
