A national institution in Japan, drawn by Akira Toriyama, Dragon Quest is the founding JRPG, adventure after adventure. RomWize re-ranks the best entries by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"The classic JRPG in all its warmth. The S version adds voice acting, a 2D mode and extra content that enrich an already charming tale. The combat breaks no new ground, but the bond you form with the party makes all the difference."
"The sequel introduces the hero party and a broader quest. Already richer and more varied than the first. A great step forward that establishes the series formula. Still playable and enjoyable."
"PAL version of the Dragon Quest VIII masterpiece. A monumental JRPG with a lush open world, touching story and memorable characters. Dragon Quest's first fully realised 3D entry achieves a depth and beauty rarely matched on PS2."
"The very first Dragon Quest: the game that invented the modern J-RPG in Japan. Rudimentary compared to its successors but foundational in essence. Historically essential."
"Dragon Quest III splendidly remade, with a fresh bonus dungeon that will thrill veterans. Deep party customization, epic exploration and pure nostalgia all in one package. A reference point for anyone curious about classic Japanese RPGs."
