This game is the ninth entry in the amazing Dragon Quest series and in my opinion, one of the best. This game incorporates so many different elements of gameplay from DLC quests and monster records to lots of monsters (slimes) and gestures this game has it all. With a superb soundtrack, an astonishing overworld and a brilliant storyline this game is just amazing.
The tutorial places your character as an angel who gets betrayed and loses his wings, so falls to the ground. You then have many different sections of storyline going on one after another. This is brilliant as it means when you think you have beaten the game a twist comes in and changes it all. The characters are funny and while there is no voice acting, you really get a feel for who the characters are.
The customisation of characters is really fun and easy to do and makes you fall in love with your own creations a lot (especially when you kill them and a coffin follows around your character!) Alchemy is also fun with lots of options and the sheer amount of items and equipment is astonishing. Spells are also fun to use and the animations are good as well.
Due to the being a JRPG, the battling is turn based and you level up your character by the use of EXP points. Levelling up increases your character's strength, defence etc. with equipment increasing these stats even more.
The quests are fun although some are frustrating, nearly impossible or tedious as you just have to be lucky. However, the story of these individual quests really immerses you in the game and the DLC quests/characters are really cool. The characters are from past Dragon Quest games and give you a piece of there well known armour.
Conclusion: another amazing addition to a superb series.
Rating: 94%
