❤ Party Building

Players take direct control of a party of up to four customizable characters in turn-based battles. The core combat system retains the strategic depth that has defined the Dragon Quest series for decades. Each playable character can select from a variety of distinct "vocations" (classes), allowing players to craft their ideal party composition.

❤ Combat System

During battles, players must carefully manage their party's abilities, HP, MP, and other resources to overcome a wide array of enemy threats. The game offers the option to adjust the combat speed, addressing a common complaint about the series' traditionally slower-paced battles.

❤ Exploration and World Design

Exploration is a key focus, with players freely roaming an expansive open world filled with towns, caves, dungeons, and other locations to discover. The world's detailed pixel art design and sense of cohesion are praised, with hidden secrets and valuable rewards awaiting thorough explorers.

❤ Quality of Life Improvements

Quality of life improvements, such as a toggleable objective marker and a message recall feature, enhance the overall experience. These additions make the game more accessible for both new players and long-time fans of the series.
