Grand Fantasy RPG: Dragon Quest V Review
- *Dragon Quest V** by Square Enix is a premium adventure game for iPhone, featuring designs by Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama. This JRPG title from the renowned Dragon Quest series follows The Hero throughout his life, spanning approximately 30 years from youth to fatherhood. Engage with a diverse cast of characters, battle monsters, and gather rare weapons, armor, and accessories. The game's classic pixel art graphics, exceptional soundtrack, and well-crafted story have solidified Dragon Quest V as a genre classic, alongside titles like DRAGON QUEST VIII and DRAGON QUEST TACT.
Set in a fantastical world, Dragon Quest V takes players on a hero's journey from childhood to adulthood, on a quest to vanquish darkness. The storyline, filled with unexpected twists, introduces players to memorable characters, thrilling battles, and varied landscapes. This remastered version of the 1992 Famicom classic boasts vibrant graphics that rejuvenate the charming world, complemented by a beautifully orchestrated soundtrack. Noteworthy is the innovative "Monster Recruitment" system, allowing players to recruit and train monsters. While the game excels in many aspects, some players might find the pacing slow initially and the graphics slightly dated compared to contemporary titles. Additionally, certain plot elements may feel predictable or clichéd.
