I’m really enjoying this game so far. The exploration and treasure hunting is enjoyable. Sometimes I like games where I can just turn my brain off and farm/grind for a few hours so this game is perfect in that regard as the combat system isn’t too complex and there are plenty of different rarity monsters you can hunt down and recruit.
Exactly this. A Casual title, and I mean that without judgement. Like, the kind of you can just pick up and play and put down like it's no big deal. This is a great kind of game for a number of people. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it!
@@SuperDerek by the animal crossing sales numbers... theres a lot of people that want these kinds of games.
I’ve been curious about this game lately. I just got out of a big surgery and this seems to be something that’s just fun and laid back. I love all the dragon quest main games and grew up with the dragon warrior monsters games as well. I’ve been thinking of trying this one or the builders games but this one seems a bit more fun to me. I guess my question is which one do you think would be the most fun and relaxing to play while being stuck in bed for the next 3-4 weeks.
I love “short session on the go” games (like Fantasy Life on 3DS, for example), so I really think I’m gonna like this one.
I fell in love with Dragon Quest while playing Dragon Quest 9, the one that’s always considered “the weird outlier,” so I think I will enjoy Treasures. At least, I hope!
Regardless, I came to Dragon Quest for the JRPG elements but I ended up staying for the puns and A+ localization and with names like Oozabella I’m not disappointed.
i wish fantasy life was on the switch
I LOVE this game! I'm already 30h in, doing some post game quests. At first I wasn't fully sold on the combat... Until I started playing around with the slingshot to target enemy weaknesses and complete "attack chains", the medley suggestions that pop up when you chain different attack types. The combat is definitely more in depth than I originally thought! I've been very busy at work so I haven't had much time for gaming, playing DQT in short sessions has been great for me. Highly recommended for kids, new gamers in general as well as busy adults!
I am enjoying this a lot so far. I am only 4 hours in, but it is extremely light hearted, charming and kind of goofy. It is the perfect game to compliment my play through of Tactics Ogre.
Got it day one and it’s such a bright and cheery play through it’s nice after playing so many dour and mopey games.
Loved this review, I appreciate your ability to be generous to the game while it is clearly not going to be making any game of the year lists. I am a sucker for dragon quest through and through, and think this is something I can use to hold me over while I await the next mainline entry.
Yeah, I was thinking this could be a solid palate cleanser title between larger, higher-stakes RPGs. The kind of thing you could plug a few hours into and come back to a couple weeks later and pick up where you left off, you know?
I've grown weary of games with overly convoluted storylines or that take themselves too seriously and have been dipping my toes into "Cozy Games" on my switch. Harvestella, the Rune Factory games... The Atelier series and the like and this looks like it'll fit in perfectly with that niche.
Dragon Quest XI S actually looked really good on the Switch, so I don't think "it looks like this because it's on the Switch" is really a good excuse. I mean, Breath of the Wild is on the Switch too. Still, this looks fun and I'm excited to pick it up soon! Dragon Quest games just have a happy mood to them that I appreciate.
This is one I’ve really been looking forward to. As hyped as I am to picking this one up when I get a chance, I do know to keep my expectations in check and to hype responsibly. Thanks Derek.
Me too! I've been eyeing this one for a while. Talked about it frequently when it was still "Dragon Quest Monsters Joker II" or something. It's different, but it ain't bad.
Casual play style is really enjoyable. It nice to have these types of games. Agreed, it feel like you pick it up and put down any time of the day. I'm enjoying the simple graphics of the game. I do wish grass was done better.
To be fair, it's only really noticeable when you're gliding around, but yeah. :)
I'm a sucker for these types of games. Had to get it day one. Plus I've been missing dragon quest, and after 100% ing pokemon recently this was perfect timing 😁
Looks like a good palate cleanser kind of game. I’ve been interested since it was announced but will probably wait a while to get it as there are too many other games that rank higher on my list coming out right now.
I definitely want to pick this one up.
I really enjoy a nice light-hearted, Saturday morning cartoon-y style adventure between all the big epics I've been playing. I also love recruiting monsters, and using them to help with BotW-style traversal is brilliant.
Also, and I know I am the extreme minority here, but I actually like the midi DQ music more than the orchestral versions xD
I don't mind it either honestly. But some people draw a hard line in the sand over it, which is why I mentioned it without dwelling on it. :)
It's for me because I'm a DQ simp and I'll support any western release.
DQ _is_ life, after all. :)
I really like having DQ games that aren’t as complex as 11S. Both this and builders 2 are great for being able to just pick up and play, not having to worry about what major story revelation just occurred
I would be really interested to know how people who liked/ loved Dragon Quest Builders (1or2) feel about this game. Because personally, I really enjoyed DQB and the second one was even better.
loved both while this isnt on the same level i think youll get a lotta enjoyment outta it
@@kristinahall8467 thanks for your reply!
Little bear! Omg what a throwback! All I watched on my sick days from school back then
I like the game a lot so far. Spiritually it feels like something more connected to the Builders series (despite the lack of self building) and as you mentioned I appreciate its pick up and play style.
I ALMOST picked this up today but chose The Callisto Protocol instead. I do intend on grabbing this eventually but might wait until after Christmas
It’s been fantastic so far, after playing Ragnarok it’s nice to have a more casual fun adventure, it’s super charming.
I knew this game would be perfect for some people! I'm glad to hear it! :)
This went straight on my Christmas list when it was announced. I love the characters in DQ11, and it seems like exactly the kind of lighthearted don't-need-to-think-too-much kind of game to contrast with P5R, which I've been playing (and loving!!!) for the first time since it came to the switch. Shame about the action based combat, but it's fine for a spinoff. My only fear is that I've heard rumours that the next mainline game will also be action-based, and I really really don't want that... But in this game, I think it'll be fine 😊
I am playing Dragon Quest monsters 2 GBC right now. So I've definitely think I will pick up this game. He's had kind of the same feeling. Catching monsters and all that.❤
IIRC this game started out its life as "Dragon Quest Monsters Joker II" or something similar.
@@SuperDerek OK, pretty cool. Thanks for the info. I hope they make a Dragon Quest Joker 4. I like that it's kinda like Pokémon but Has a different type of game play.😋
It did come up in Dragon quest 11 tho they talked a lot about their time as treasure hunters and how much they love treasure
Was that in the original release? Or did they add that to the definitive edition? Sadly I could only play the original release and it doesn't sound too familiar... 🤔
@@SuperDerek So I may of mistake Treasure hunter for theifing for the Vikings but its the same thing isnt it
Haha, it's all a matter of perspective, innit? 😆
@@SuperDerek Agreed 1000 Percent Because some people percieve the Vikings as treasure hunters and others as monster who brutally murdered and pillaged places
Its enjoying. All series of dragon quest are fantastic
This reminds me of what world of final fantasy brought to the table for that series, which I enjoyed.
This game looks fun! May pick it up at some point. Just finished the new Romancing SaGa Minstrel Song remaster and hopping back to Tactics Ogre Reborn, man I'm drowning in these recent Square releases.
I am planning on picking this up sometime, but it being an Action RPG is almost a deal-breaker. Graphics don't matter to me as much as things running smoothly, and the switch is my console of choice
It does run smoothly in my experience so far. And as far as Action RPGs go, I'm just glad it's not one of those super fast-paced teleporting all over the place kind of games.
I've always looked at all of the Dragon Quest sub series games as being total throw away stuff. Like dq slime etc
Great video! I love Dragon quest so I am picking it up, but I wish they could have kept the turn based combat of DQ monsters.
I was really excited when this was Dragon Quest Monsters Joker II for a while, what a game it could have been!
@@SuperDerek I absolutely agree!
i love the fact that it isnt turn based, to bad the action combat feels cheap and shallow ....
@@da9el883 I hear you....they definitely needed to add more moves/combos/weapons/ect.
I already picked this up, but it’s in my backlog. I also wish this came out on PC so I could play it on Steam Deck.
I really want to play this but my copy didn’t arrive at GameStop yesterday
I loved the Dragon Warrior Monsters series, especially the second one. Is this anything like it? Sure I am like 30years older already, but still... my son (8) seems interested. Might aswell buy it for the both of us. Both played Monster Hunter Stories2 and Nexomon for what it's worth.
I'm having a lot of fun with the game! I might be a bit biased tho because i love all things DQ
So on the fence with this. I absolutely love dragon quest but the lightweight action button mashing combat isn't selling it for me. How much depth does the game have? Can I expect 50+ hours from it or is it a quick run through and done game?.
30 hours for main story and can be up to 100+ if you want to explore everywhere/do all side quests.
I thought it was like dragon quest monsters I loved that game back on the Gameboy
Thanks, you saved me 80$. My backlog is too big to buy ok games when i have many great and excellent games to finish.
Happy to help!
How dare you cut off the DQ Overture right as it gets good?
Oh god, I know! But hey, the review had to start _sometime!_ xD
I am going to buy it just going to wait for a sale for it
I actually think there was a dragon quest 11 reference in that Eric wished for a hot bath and in the town in dq11 he went straight to the baths, maybe im over reading it 😂😂😂
this looks like my kinda DQ game, though from watching the gameplay, it reminds me of Digimon World Next Order
Great video
P.s dude you need to check out chained echoes it's a fucking must!!
I got the builder statue the male avatar in dqb2 on display
I changed the voices to Japanese for Monster Hunter Stories 2 and I felt it made the story feel more serious as well. Doesn’t work all the time, and I play almost every game in English.
Doesn't look for me but Im all here for the new video 😜
Derek... did you name your team "subscribe"?
😆
Amazing open areas! Too bad the game has only one save and one auto-save per account. Really bothers me! Can save any time though.
Has to be a numbered entry for me to care
To anyone that is a fan of DQ and enjoy real time combat, I cannot recommend highly enough Dragon Quest Heroes 2. Yes it is sort of a Dynasty Warriors style game, only not really at all? I think a lot of people skipped it thinking it was just a lame Dynasty warriors “musou” game. What it really is, is a sprawling DA RPG with large open maps and fast snappy real time combat like in a DW game, only you don’t fight hundreds of grunts on a set map with gated off sections, rooms, arenas etc..
Also, unlike this game, it looks good, runs good ( on anything not the Switch ), is fairly long, and has a lot of playable Characters and quests.
It is about 20 times better than DQT. 👍🏻
hey, thanks for the review. its a lite dragon quest with action rpg n seems great to introduce the franchise to the younger audience. but imma pass this one
Yeah, it's definitely not for everyone. Surprisingly good for what it is though. :)
It's never fun seeing a bad Dragon Quest. Explains why it's already 50$ as well after a month.
They just shadow dropped this on Steam and I’m torn on whether or not I should snag it. I’d like a little more complexity in the attack combos but I’m a sucker for chibi/simple art styles in games. Seems like the older I get the more I hate gritty artwork in my games for some reason.
I played all of dragon quest 11 on switch so the visuals don’t bother me 🤷🏻♂️
I'm getting Trials of Mana remake vibes from seeing this. It doesn't seem to have a dark, epic storyline like Trials of Mana does though...
It also lacks the character customization, combo, and magic systems as far as I've been able to see.
the dragon quest monster series has been around since 1998....it is a spin off because pokemon was so successful, you can say it is a dragon quest version of pokemon in some way.
Pokemon aka SMT ripoff
Wish there was more to the game. It's minimal at best for these type of games if we're talking treasure base. 0 customization when it comes to your character/followers
I love base building and crafting because it has cooking in it and love games with dungeons runs and weapons and armour set drops and shop's to buy and sell mounts to ride and chest drops loots and moster and NPC to join you I am all good just hope some will do a base building tour's love to see what others do with they base in this game would be great and fun to see that all and if game has lots to do and see and have fun with that the stuff I like in a games hopefully they will make more of this games and it sometimes can take my mind set off stressful life at times or for a good bit few few hours until I have to deal with the real world again oh yay but in saying that the world can be fun at times because of the inds centre link workers help me out in my life take me out shopping movies and do others stuff to because this the only way to have someone to talk to and have fun with in the real world then go back to my games to play with the npc that don't pick on me or make me feel like crap just hopefully they will make more games like this and hope to get more good to great framing games and mosters tameing games to for 2023 looking forward to seeing what comes next year and out iam hype for
The childlike experience you described when listening to the English version is "not just you". This is a problem I have been having with all of the recent Dragon Quest titles. I hate the English localization of these games with a passion and even Dragon Quest XI itself has gone too far into the childlike-ness for me to enjoy the series as much as I used to (Japanese language change helps a little with this).
I'm REALLY hoping Dragon Quest XII goes in a drastically different direction toward being more mature or this series may have moved beyond me.
I can't do it. DQ has had the same monsters, same looking characters and the same music forever now. Heard that intro song 15 years ago and they are still using it.
I get where you're coming from but that's kinda the point of Dragon Quest at this point. In a world where Final Fantasy has become an action RPG series and JRPGs are looking for grander and more complex stories and edgier villains, Dragon Quest embraces tradition. It's a comfort food series, basically.
@@SuperDerek Yeah but lets take Sniper Elite as an example. Same main menu melody but always in a really different style. I really dislike hating on games but the soundtrack just seems like a lazy effort to me.
I think I'll stick with Dragon Quest Heroes 2 as my spinoff of choice. I know graphics aren't everything but it looks like a Wii game lol.
the combat even feels miles better in the heroes game VS this .... slow and shallow action combat, you basicly spam the the X button ... you can dodge and jump but it doesnt feel good!
It’s not what i expect 😩
I just wish i could play a old dragon quest monster like game
catch then breed an ultimate monster
That game was planed first as a dragon quest monsters game but then it was sadly canceled :(
@@PisaroOne i saw dqm is remake for ios and andriod and remake the graphic , control but all japanese and only japan store . I dont get translate to english and sell world wide store is that hard? 😅
@@jakklovediablo6293 Its because DQM isnt a good selling game for Square-Enix in Europe/America, sadly. Newest (in terms of graphics etc.) is Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 3 but it isnt released here in europa so i have to play with my emulator.
I just want DQ12.
IKR, the wait is agonizing! Let's hope it's something really special! I think SE must have learned a lot from the feedback of 11, as shown by their work on the Definitive Edition. :)
I never expected this game to be as good as the main series. It is an enjoyable game, but I felt that there were so many missed opportunities to make it better.
To me it feels like the game was made for 3ds, but because the development might've been too long or they simply cancelled it, because it was nearing the end of the 3ds life span they brought it to the switch. Combat feels extremely dated and it's kind of sad that everything has to come from your monsters. I do like all the easter eggs you get from the treasures you collect. Especially the way they translated the DQX characters, because I actually play that mmo, so it kind of makes me crack up on some of the names.
I do regret paying full price for it, though. I don't think it's worth 55 euros, 65 euros for the deluxe edition. It's more of a 40 euro game.
The radio-silence for years on this title had me worried it was dead or in development hell. All of that considered, I'm kind of surprised it's as good as it is. Probably not GOTY material, but I think it's definitely got some promise for certain people. :)
Whenever I hear "you can pick it up and put it down easy" I just hear gets boring fast and has no real direction. I will try it at some point but not really looking forward to it.
It feels pretty low stakes, at least in the beginning, and it's not plot heavy. So it never feels like you have to keep playing to see what happens next. It's still fun, but if you're looking for a compelling story, this ain't it.
Looks like you've been losing weight. Good on you, man!
Thank you! Been a long road, but I'm really happy with the progress so far. :)
It's a shame they didn't push it further. The game does give me unfinished vibes. Might buy in a deep sale.
Visually is kind of disappointing, I'll wait in case it comes out for another platform or a good sale.
Fingers crossed for PC, especially for that Steam Deck market.
Is it for me? Nooooooooo. Certainly not.
