## DRAGON QUEST Reviews in Vereinigte Staaten

### ***** "the first JRPG!"
this game is a very grindy. game but a very good game. it also is the first JRPG. but final fantasy defined the genre.
-- delveintocomics, 2024-12-13

### ****- "Great Game, Slightly Buggy Port"
I was in a mood to play a classic RPG and was looking for something cheap to play on my phone. I originally was going to get ffvi but it was way more expensive than I wanted to pay at the time so I picked up this since it also had better reviews.

The game itself is amazing and has aged slightly well. All these reviews saying it is great in a weird way kind of sum it up perfectly. It’s such an old game, and old RPG’s are known to be a slog to get through but dragon quest paces itself well. You do have to grind, but if you know what you’re doing it doesn’t take that long, and you will probably need a guide, but after talking to townspeople and examining the world you’ll find a lot of things naturally. The game is a classic and was built to cater to everyone in a fun way and that shows here. 

The port itself is also very good. I think it’s a port of a remake so when I looked stuff up I had to say “Dragon Quest 1 SFC” or something. But it updates all the art without making many map changes to the world. It also simplifies the original UI so instead of hitting the open door button from your list of commands you just hit select. It also makes hidden items more obvious so you don’t have to go bit by bit looking for the mark or a staircase. 

The only thing that I didn’t like with this port was that the audio was buggy. It wouldn’t let me play background YouTube vids which is ok. The music is fantastic (which I should’ve brought up earlier) but the audio itself would cut out sometimes and eventually just didn’t work for the last stretch of the journey which made events like playing the fairy flute kind of awkward as I had to just sit there waiting for the game to move on.

I also have seen people point out that you can’t use controller or really pop it up to your tv. This port is made for your phone and for you to play with one hand. So it you plug it into your tv you might just get a vertical image with the moving buttons still plasters on your 4K tv. Just to keep that in mind, but double check. They could’ve patched it recently.

But overall, if you are curious or just want to get ready for DQIII remake that comes out in November (this, II, and III are considered a trilogy) definelty try checking it out!
-- HorseHeadBarry, 2024-09-26

### *---- "Land tiles are ugly as sin"
This is a wonderful game and is very well suited to a mobile phone port. It also has an awful graphical bug that I can't believe they haven't addressed in, according to other reviews, at least eight years! While the pixel art of the characters and monsters is sharp and neat, the land tiles covering the majority of the screen alternate between thick and thin rows and columns of pixels. Instead of a charming fantasy landscape, the result is a godawful mess. You have to will yourself to ignore this problem for the entire game. You don't get to enjoy the art, especially during a certain moment when the tiles have changed. They have tried to disguise this problem in the store screenshots by shrinking and rotating the images, but you can see what I mean if you look closely. Developers: A sampler must never use a nearest-neighbor magnification filter unless every texture pixel will map to a whole number of framebuffer pixels. With a given level of zoom expected for gameplay, combined with unpredictable phone resolutions for future devices, you've set yourselves up to fail. This betrays the care given by your artists, who clearly wished to uphold the original game's charm. Since the character sprites do look correct, you can look to that implementation for a solution. Stakeholders: This is a modern player's introduction to the Dragon Quest series. Don't be cheap; make a better impression.

### ***** "I LOVE DQ"
I love the dragon quest series and everything about it (except for some games like DQ2 and DQ Heroes 1), so seeing that you can play the older games on mobile is amazing! I understand how at first the games can feel a bit bad at first, but the newer ones are amazing! As a Long-standing DQ fan (I've been playing DQ games for half my life), I feel so much nostalgia going back to the first games, and the Akira Toriyama's art style is so charming to me! All in all, this game is definitely worth the price, you should get it! (DQ Builders 1 & 2 are also amazing games and are definitely worth $60)
-- Tlc7psych, 2024-08-17

### *---- "No control support"
Please update the support for backbone controller
-- theoneandonlyreal, 2024-08-01

### ***-- "Buggy but playable"
This has potential for being a great game, if it wasn’t for a bug that caused to not save even if it did. So if anything happens, you have to start from the very beginning. If they fixed it, let me know.
-- Farrah Riggs, 2024-07-31

### **--- "disappointed"
graphics lack charm, music sounds as generic as it can be. The game doesn’t fill the screen as well. Not worth $3, nor would it be worth 99cents.
-- Philbert111, 2024-06-17

### *---- "Not like dragon warrior at all!"
Says it’s just like the English version, and it’s not the same in anyway of the gameboy color game I played. TRASH!
-- Dumb814, 2024-05-19

### *---- "No controller support. Kills any nostalgia. Not worth the $3"
Bought this hoping to get that nostalgic feeling of the controller in hand, engrossed in a world on my iPad. Come to find out it ONLY works in portrait mode with touch screen wheel and buttons “designed to play one handed on a subway”. What a scam. Don’t waste your money. Can’t even play it enjoyably on an iPad or streamed to a TV with a controller. Unbelievably short sighted to not include controller support.
-- Jaydeezd, 2024-05-07

### ***** "Just Beat It!"
The game took me about seven hours to beat. And for the price, that is an incredible deal. I had tons of fun along the way, and I don’t regret my purchase at all.
-- Samqqzz, 2024-04-27

### ***-- "Not made well for iPhone"
There should be an option to play music in another app while playing the game. Especially if you are looking to level grind. 

The home bar is visible the entire time. 

The game itself is well made, although like any remaster I would like an option to view it as the original version.
-- Baboon_Bassoon, 2024-03-10

### **--- "Mandela effect?"
Am I living in another universe or something? I played this when it was called dragon warrior monsters. And I distinctly remember being able to take on monsters as companions, and breed them for stronger and different monsters. Also, the entire storyline is different. And yet it is the exact same monsters called the exact same names, and thus close enough for copyright. I don’t understand. This is not the first game at all.
-- YiskaS, 2024-01-26

### ***** "It’s (modern) OG. Perfect for flights and long rides."
This is The Classic, re-imagined for the modern world. Yes, they added a Quick Save system, and Yes, your hero is stronger than the original, but I imagine many players these days would be far less happy if they had maintained the original difficulty. I highly recommend following this up with DQ2, as it picks up very nicely where this one left off, and they both (beautifully) pave the way for DQ3!
-- BubMagoo, 2023-11-29

### ****- "No cloud save"
Game is legendary
-- watch out dont invest!!!!!, 2023-11-14

### *---- "liar"
Liar, said there are other languages, but after downloading it is only in English!
-- Bjugekk, 2023-10-12

### *---- "No sound"
Theres no sound on this game. I’m on the 13 pro max. They had the game on sale but haven’t updated it in over 3 years now. Looks like they are just trying to cash in. Wasted my money.

10/09/23
Update 

Guess what ? They still haven’t updated the game. Typical for Square Enix.
-- LawlessGear, 2023-10-09

### *---- "Needs controller support"
Please add external controller support
-- Blindllama429, 2023-10-07

### ***-- "Backbone compatibility"
Please make this game backbone compatible
-- Zombie got rand over, 2023-10-06

### ***-- "This is a fun throwback to my middle school years"
I was excited to find this port for iOS. “Dragon Warrior” (as it was called on the NES) was one of my favorite games back in the day and I was excited to find this port! The gameplay is good to great on my iPhone 14, but why can I not get any sound on my iPad Pro (3rd Gen)? That is the only thing keeping me from giving this 4 or 5 stars.  I don’t know how much Square Enix still supports this port, but it is disappointing compared to their FF1 and FF2 ports for iPad:  those were spectacular.
-- CurtisColgate, 2023-09-19

### *---- "Weird you can’t turn your phone"
Why am I forced to play it upright only i have a case that holds like a gaming controller holding upright hurts my hands I’m so disappointed that I just wasted 2.99$ plus tax  to be forced to play a game in a physically painful format on either my palm or pinky finger depending on how I hold my phone

 I give it one star for the fact I can play it on mobile which is good and it isn’t unreasonably priced -4 stars because there was no thought in mind for the users preferred format I.e turning the phone to its side to have more comfortable hand positions
