For the most part, this is a Musou game through and through, featuring button-based combos and hordes of foes. While the game looks and quacks like a Dragon Quest game, however, it doesn’t walk like one. It’s certainly a big part of what makes the game feel like an homage to the popular series. One plus is the use of classic Dragon Quest themes, which will be familiar to fans of the series. The ability to toggle between English and Japanese voice acting is also a nice bonus. If you love the classic Dragon Quest style and Toriyama’s unique designs, however, this will float your proverbial boat. Combined with the stylized 3D look, the game’s cast look almost like plastic or PVC anime figurines come to life.Īdmittedly, it’s a visual style that has some uncanny valley moments and won’t be for everyone. That means cartoony fantasy locales and characters with that telltale Akira Toriyama design of Dragonball fame. Presentation, meanwhile, heavily borrows from its source material. As a “Warriors” hack-and-slash games typically go, however, the narrative is like War and Peace.
Granted, it won’t stack up with the tales from the main line Dragon Quest games. Following the game’s introduction, it doesn’t take long to figure out that a shadowy force fully intends to make the prophecy come true by sowing discord among the various kingdoms.Īs far as stories go, it’s one of the beefier ones you’ll see for a Musou game. It also gives birth to a prophecy that foretells the return of conflict in the future. It’s a conflict of great cost that is ultimately followed by an extended era of peace. These cousins, who conveniently happen to be a girl and a boy, find themselves thrust into a prophecy involving twin kings from the past who ended up embroiled in a bitter war. If my burgershi detour wasn’t obvious enough, I have an affinity for sampling all sorts of comestibles.
This time around, the story revolves around two warrior cousins, who I named, uh, Mochi and Dorayaki in my game.
