  • Land tiles are ugly as sin

    1
    By Kevin Conner
    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)

    Please update the support for backbone controller

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
