3.5/5 

The latest entrant in the series was developed specifically for the DS and so has the hugely upgraded presentation you'd expect but sacrifices the quirky humour and sense of fun of the earlier games.

Et tu, Dragon Quest?

The Dragon Quest series is the founding father of the RPG genre on consoles, laying the groundwork in its first few titles that all RPGs (even the much-lauded Final Fantasy series) were built upon. As such, Dragon Quest has been one of my favorites since the fourth game in the series astounded me on the NES. The series is well-known for cleaving to tradition and keeping things similar through all of its various iterations. While well-loved in its homeland of Japan, Dragon Quest has had a tough time finding footing in North America. “Dragon Quest 9” (“DQ9”) actually scared Japanese fans quite a bit during its development cycle, as it was revealed to have an action-based battle system that flew in the face of tradition. After dealing with a bout of Fan Outrage, Square-Enix conceded ...
