DRAGON QUEST IV reviews
4.4 out of 5, based on 513 reviews.
What people like
- Great story that takes you back
- Perfect length for a long RPG trip
- Works offline so no internet needed
- Very suitable for newcomers to the series
What they complain about
- Translation is awful and hard to read
- Cloud saves do not work at all
- You cannot listen to music while playing
- Controls feel loose and frustrating on mobile
A must play!
Dragon Quest 4 is very suitable for newcomers to the series. The difficulty is quite tame in comparison to the other DQ games. The game length is perfect with an average of 30 to 40 hours of gameplay. RPG players will not be disappointed with this one!
Garbage
8+ hours into the game, in chapter 4 heading to the mines and lost ALL save data. Game was done saving so closed out the window. When I next loaded the app save data was completely gone, including most recent cloud save data. Only cloud save data available was from chapter 1 and only 19 minutes into the game
Great game, HORRIBLE conversion
DQIV (DWIV) was a childhood fav! The story is great, the game is great. The "team" that converted this to mobile is an abomination! Most 5 year-olds speak better English than this translation team, and the fact that you can't mute a mobile game is UTTERLY PREPOSTEROUS! Shame, shame, shame on whomever is responsible for this. Game control pad is over-done/hypersensitive for mobile gaming, and the camera angles on this "3D conversion" are an unnecessary hassle and very confusing. Wow! Dragon Quest III was SO GOOD! Like literally the best mobile RPG I've ever played. I simply just don't understand how this disaster was ever published. FOLLOW-UP: Above was my review of the game while still in Chapter 3 or 4. All still applies! Translation is truly awful and the camera angles in this 3D version cause immense confusion and literally defy logic- there are places where you will inevitably be forced to use a guide to manipulate your way through the game because of poor map design. Still though, now that I got through the [true] ending, the nostalgia flows freely. This is [was] SUCH AN AMAZING GAME! Best storyline ever. Well done, Square Enix (circa 1990)! So glad to play again.

One of the greatest JRPGs of all time
It’s a decent port but lacks modern features.
Love it
This game is waaaay too convenient when it comes to long trips or free times, especially since you don’t need an internet connection to play

No Hoffmans Place?
I still remember playing this game when it was Dragon Warrior4 on the NES. And then again on the Nintendo DS. Almost a flawless game, just as I remember. One little bug, I can’t seem to get Hoffman‘s place off the ground. Maybe it’s just me. Otherwise, one of my favorite all-time games.
Awful translation
I originally played this on the NES. This is much worse. To add dialect and accent, they translated the Japanese to a language (such as Russian) and then translated THAT to English. So there are several idiosyncrasies that just fail, to the point of distracting from the charm of the game. I essentially bought this for Taloon’s chapter, but it just didn’t scratch that nostalgia itch due to the awful translation.
저장은 어떻게 하는 것일까요?.?
게임 꺼야 하는데, 저장 기능을 결국 못 찾아서 끝내 저장도 못하고 껐습니다. 저장 어떻게 하나요8ㅅ8
Great game
Only on Chapter 2 so far and enjoying it lots. Nice leveling mechanics, well-made interface, charming characters, and finding the right strategies to pull off combat with different enemies is satisfying. Love it so far!
iCloud save doesn’t work
Fun game but it is not full functional. iCloud saves does not work in ios 15.2
Please Fix The Cloud Saves
Overall it’s a great game but 4-6 cloud services don’t seem to work at all, I recently bought a iPad and wanted to continue my progress but can’t due to their being some sort of error. All I ask if Square Enix can fix this problem from such an amazing game.
Marred by technical problems and interface issues.
My understanding is that the game itself is quite good. Sadly, it is hidden behind an imprecise and uncomfortable interface (seriously, iPad players prepare for thumb discomfort) with no controller support, and a cloud sync feature that never actually works. No escape to the iPhone version for these poor despairing thumbs.
Drag anywhere on screen to move
Need to add the feature of drag anywhere on screen to move.
Japanese translation
I want you to introduce a Japanese translation
Cloud sync does not work
The game is fine, but the cloud saves do not work, so you’re stuck playing on one device if you own multiple apple products.
Great game, but this version lessens it
This is the only version of the game with party chat available in non-Japanese languages, but it doesn’t have controller support and relies on on-screen controls without a landscape mode option. The graphics feel like an odd mix of different fidelities that are a bit jarring to me, but otherwise it’s tolerable.
I don’t care about your music or SFX
Stop forcing me to listen to your stupid in game music and sfx. There is zero purpose for you to force my other audio apps to shutdown when I open this app. I played DQ1-3 for hundreds of hours listening to audible and loved it. But now I CHOOSE to not to open DQ4 simply because my audiobook stops the moment I open DQ4. Please fix this.
도전과제도 없는데 복돌이랑 뭔차이가 있는거냐
도전과제, 트로피좀 만들어라 스퀘어에닉스야
From the past to now
Despite, in my opinion, having a weaker story to V, its still the same old Dq I love, this port takes the Ds remake and makes it even easier to access!
Game is good but does not sync to iCloud
Game is a direct port of the DS version but if you want to use it across devices with an iPhone and iPad good luck. Does not download saves from the cloud unlike other games I’ve played so.
No difficulty.
Good game but I can only rate these 4 stars due to lack of difficulty. There is none. Great story and plenty to do but I wish there was a difficulty setting because there is no way to lose a battle. Without a challenge I just dread getting into battles because they just seem to be time wasters. Maybe eventually they will add harder difficulty options but until then 4* is all I can rate. Once again not a bad game I love this series but even the originals are way too easy. Feels like a beginners or an rpg geared to kids as an intro to rpgs.
Great game! Need option to mute *all* sound
Great game, but the grinding is made almost unbearable since you can’t mute the sound (without turning your volume all the way down), which also means you can’t use your own music (Pandora/Spotify in the background). Super annoying. Many times I sit down to play but give up cause I just want some music playing at the same time. Fix that super frustrating option and I’d give at least a 4 star.
Great Game, Cloud Saves Don’t Work
Square Enix wants to charge a premium price yet will only provide trash mobile support. The game’s cloud save function no longer works, so you’re stuck playing the game on the device you started on. Apple has expanded controller support, yet Square Enix Dragon Quest games do not support them. Not only that, but these games can only be played in portrait view. Making it awkward playing these games on larger phones or tablets, or even with your device connected to a tv. So Squeenix, either stop the premium price grab, or start providing a game experience that justifies the price. Because right now it’s almost just another mobile trash game.
So good
I'm so glad these games got re-releases on ios or I may never have gotten to play them. While the npc accents may be almost illegible this is a great game with a great story line. Unfortunately there's no auto battle like other dragon quests but that only hinders combat a little bit. This game looks and plays great and is very engaging. I'm loving it. @squareenix please release Dragon Quest VII 7 to us in English markets on mobile devices.

excellent game, excellent port, but it kills background audio
Loving playing this but I wish I could listen to podcasts while I play like with DQ1-3
Translation terrible
I’m a huge fan of the dragon warrior dragon quest series. Played the originals when I was a wee lad. Loved them, I was excited to replay on the iOS. 1 2 and 3 were amazing. But this translation is so terrible. Some of the words are not even words. If this is your first dragon quest game I’d skip this and play dragon quest three instead.
Controller support
Please add controller support.
Thanks for bringing DQ back
And one more thing. Could we have a bundle of DQ series?
BEWARE!! Cloud save not working!!
The worst is that there is no sign of failure of cloud saving, instead it says cloud saving succeeded. I always save to cloud and just a go, I deleted the app and re-downloaded it, and guest what? No save exists. Unbelievable.... I was at the right before the castle of Death Pissaro. I’ve lost 20 hours of gameplay, and ended up watching Youtube for the game’s ending. Pathetic.
Update for iPhone X
please update this game for iPhone X users so that it’s full screen! Thanks.
Not The Reboot You Want
There was so much potential in this iOS release as Dragon Quest IV is probably one of the finest in the series. When it originally came out, it was part of Enix's A-list RPGs. This release however, does not do justice to the franchise or the game. I've seen other review praise the new translations, particularly the "ethnic" anglicizations of the different regions. This detracts so much from the story however, as it causes you to stop and dissect each sentence like a poor-man's woolseyism. It's poor translation on the scale of "All your base are belong to us now". Weird word usage that doesn't belong, such as "Your extinct mother..." Instead of saying "Your dead mother." It's truly atrocious. The name changes are also unusual. It detracts less than the ethnic translations but it seems pointless. Why change names? These are established characters. It would be one thing if the hardware limited the original game's naming system, but often that wasn't the case. Changing Taloon (6 letters) to his first name Torneko (7 letters) perhaps might have made sense. But Nara and Mara COULD have been named their reworked names, Maya and Meena, but they weren't. So why change back? I don't buy the argument that Mara and Nara are confusing, because Maya and Meena don't make it clearer. I think the worst offender is renaming Cristo, to Kiryl or something dumb like that. The item and monster name changes are seemingly pointless as well. Some of them are genuinely worse than the original names. Happily, some of these weren't changed. The game's one improvement is the graphics. It does look better than its 8-bit source material. And I think they stayed fairly true to most of the character designs. I will give the artists a star for that. They've also cut some of the grinding out which is good as well. But the UI for spells is atrocious to navigate on mobile and the control pad is so loose and wonky. The number of times I've walked around something instead of over it because the control pad is so loose was disappointing. I fee this has to do with the 8-direction pad replacing the 4-direction control. The "3D" aspect also seems pointless in all but two or three spots through the whole game. Makes me think they could have just changed the view in these specific areas and saved the hassle of having the 3D "camera" at all. It's playable to someone who has played the original and remembers the story and character and spells and can easily refresh their memory. It's not preferable to the original though and for people new to the game, it can be confusing. I wouldn't recommend this as a first time play-through. Just play the NES if you can.
아쉽 아쉽
가로모드가 적용 안되는게 정말 아쉽고요 ios13 부터 마우스 지원되는데 마우스로 화면 터치 되게 해주면 더 좋겠음 나머지야 뭐 명작이니 깔 수가 없음
Players read
People try to make fun or complain about the translation. They’re too stupid to realize that the developers were trying to give the characters accents.... so sad. Wonderful game. Takes me back, and I appreciate the effort
Unable installation
I purchased it but couldn't install this game. :( I can't play it please fix it
Audio
Could the game be tweaked to allow a different application to be playing audio?
Great game. Terrible dialog
This is my favorite dragon warrior game of all time only updated. Overall the changes are great and make the game more playable without losing any of the charm. But the dialog completely ruins the experience. In an attempt to ethnicize the kingdoms, the dialog was rendered near unreadable with phonic spellings of various cliche accents. It is so heavy handed as to be offensive, especially the broken Asian English that another reviewer mistook for an unintentional bad translation from the original. Imagine watching a foreign film but to covey that it is foreign the subtitles are purposefully in broken English and spelled with accents.... Not necessary. Not fun. Fix it square
Oh dear god
The iOS versions of 1-3 were improvements in my opinion, particularly 2 and 3. Not so on 4. The gameplay and graphics are wonky and the translation is HORRIBLE. Really, really bad. To the point where I take screenshots of the dialogue because it’s so terrible that it is hilarious. Still enjoyable, but holy god you can tell they put far less effort into this port than they did for the incredibly simple DW1.
iPhone X update!
Thank you for updating this and DQVI! I’m now going to greatly consider buying V and VI!
Auto save needs to be fixed
I only get a few minutes on my phone at a time and it's really annoying how bad the auto save is. If I beat a boss, the game should auto save. If the stay at an inn the game should auto save.
GREAT but....
I love the dragon quest games and this one, I remember playing as a kid. Overall great game except for the translation of the in game text from NPCs. I appreciate the subtle dialect and even the "accents" that are written down. But what's with all the poorly translated dialog for the Alena chapter?! It makes reading a pain and almost reflects poorly on Square Enix's prestigious reputation. It almost feels like they hired a bunch of middle school Japanese kids to translate the game by only using google translator. Please fix this issue, because paying 15$ for a remade game (that I feel had a better translation team for the original NES version) and getting poor quality translation feels almost insulting especially considering that I can't request a refund, which I would request because of this issue. Thank you.
Want to like it, but...
It just crashed and I lost an hour of progress, that made me sad. Some of characters are extremely weak to begin with so grinding required to get anywhere. Game has a certain charm so i want to forgive these issues but, on reflection, i have better things to do with my time.

I love DQ
Playing DQ on mobile is very nice. DQ 6 up next‼️
Sub Par. Voice acting? Bad graphics poor sound quality
So far only just started. Had problems figuring out the dialogue it's the middle button. The graphics on ipad really are outdated and don't serve the game well at all not these days. I'll give the game more points if its really good but at the moment for graphics and sound both poor quality I can only give it at most a one & not really recommend it yet. Battle is played out in a small window on the ipad. You've got to be kidding. ZERO points for this. Do not buy for ipad. You will be very disappointed. Controls not that good either. Keep entering and exiting wrong doors because of bad controls. Also no voice acting slices a lot of goodness out of this game.
Amazing
Dargon Quest 4 for the win
An odd, mediocre port of a solid RPG
This is a port of the Nintendo DS port of DQ4, so you get the new 3D backgrounds from that version. On the tiny, low res DS screen, they looked fine, but on a retina iPad screen, be prepared for giant pixels. The worst offender are the sprites, which are so low resolution as to be rather abstract. Crude visuals aside, we have an additional problem, and it's huge. The game runs in portrait mode and there is no way to run in landscape mode. This feels wrong from the outset, and never gets better. It's a stupid, idiotic decision designed exclusively for Japanese commuters on busy trains. It's a game breaker. The game itself is a fine old school RPG, albeit one with a poor localisation filled with attempts at strong regional accents, which makes some of the dialogue impossible to decipher. I just wish his port wasn't so poorly done. It's also only 30fps on A7 devices, which makes no sense.
Poor localisation hinders game.
I haven't play the original DQ4 game, but this game is fairly solid and enjoyable. The biggest problem is the language conversion. There are significant grammatical errors and spelling errors which makes understanding the game challenging. This made an impact to me as I cared less about the characters and story and just focussed on playing the game to finish it.
