Rubis sword?

I would have given this game 5 stars easily if it were at the very least everything it was for gbc. But it’s not. The removal of the pachasi tracks was a real bummer first of all bc that means u can only receive one wreck whip weapon (destructoball) then to make the pain of that incredible loss worse defeating the end dragon offers only 2 wishes (a personality change or the revival of Ortega) instead of the final pachasi track or the secret dungeon where the rubis sword is acquired. I was so sad when I finally beat that dragon on my quest to achieve that sword only to find everything after Zoma was just a dream I could not obtain w/o a game boy :’( but other than that it was everything I remembered it would be. And on top of that my adventure was just as breathtaking as before leading up to that final battle disappointment. ****/***** 4/5 for you. Give me an update please for 5 stars and I’ll even pay an extra cost for bonus content if u charged for it. It would be so worth it!

No iCloud saves

I own iPad & iPhone. Can’t move saves between them. Great game but can’t rank higher since they won’t support a basic function. Also landscape mode would be nice.

Zoma’s Citadel portal not appearing

I played through 99% of the game. I got to Zoma. Beat the boss rush, out of heals and MP. There should’ve been a portal at the bottom of the stairs in Zoma’s room but there is not. So the game is impossible to finish

Best Mobile RPG Ever!

Hands down, the best mobile RPG ever. Sure this and the Final Fantasy series all take me back to my childhood, but DQ3 in particular is the best redone mobile game I have ever played! Such thorough, easy to play, in-depth game with an epic storyline taboot!

Save data erased?!

Everything was great up until I find myself grinding outside of alltrades abbey, switch over to chrome to check something and switch back to the game and lo and behold it’s on the title screen and my save data is gone. Two different saves. Gone. Love the game but don’t think I’ll be going back to it and just the possibility of this bug occurring again makes me wary to purchase any of the other dragon quest titles.

Feels phoned in.

Maybe I’m missing something here, but this game just feels really lazy. I played through DQs 1 and 2 and loved them, even though there was some monotony. But in 3 right off the bat was disappointed- you just go to the party store and roll up some random characters? What’s the story in that? I’m skipping this one and moving on to # 4.

Good, but lacking

If this were a mirror copy of the Game Boy version, I’d give it 5 stars. But it’s missing pachisi, which was my favorite thing about the game. So I give it 3 stars.

Bring back Pachisi!!

Enjoy the remake, don’t mind the easier level, as I play for relaxation, but what made the original a standout was Pachisi! No one else had it! Rather have that than monster battles any day! Glad you kept all the music. Love those tunes. Do appreciate longer name ability. Would give you the full 5*’s if game had Pachisi!

Lost Save File

Squaresoft was my favorite companies back in my SNES days. Opened the game tonight and the game loaded me about two hours behind in my play. With $10 game like this from a great company I would have expected better,no excellence. This type of game also doesn't motivate you to grind all those levels over again. Cmon Square! You used to be my go-to, my homey. Crono Trigger changed my life. A masterpiece. This was my first Dragon Quest too! Maybe you guys are active on here and you can help a brother out. Promise to buy another Square title of you do.

★★★★☆ United States · v1.0.5 · 19 Jun 2019

Fun and short classic

This game is a classic. If you’re a huge fan of the traditional JRPG traditional formula this game will be right up your alley. There may be certain parts where you’ll need a guide because of how vague the game can be at certain points so take upon yourself to speak to every NPC (and take screenshots or write down the hints that NPC provide). Job class system in the game keeps a freeform feel to creating your team however you want. The personality system can be sort of confusing as it affects stat gains so that’s something you may also have to look up. Difficulty wise the game is hard early on, eases up, and then gets harder towards the end again. Game is pretty grind heavy and encounter rates can be annoying. Orchestrated soundtrack makes the experience amazing. I have a good about 20+ hours into this game and for the price I would consider this purchase worth it. My only recommendation if you want the best experience is at least looking up a guide on the classes and personality so you can fully understand the system (it doesn’t get explained in game). From there you can create a team to your liking.

Crashes towards the end

Absolutely love this game and I think this port runs fantastic through the majority of the game. I had no problems and no complaints with the ports DQ1 or DQ2 and this one was shaping up to be great as well. However, while grinding for levels before the final boss I have experienced many crashes that have really turned me off of completing the game. I’m going to do it because I’ve made it this far and I want to finish but it’s really upsetting that I have to make sure to quick save after every single encounter just in case one of those crashes does occur. Sadly I have to go with a 3 star for this even though this is one of my favorite RPGs.

Quality of Life improvements FTW

I see a lot of reviews talk about how the game is “easier” than the original because of the Quick Save, the bag or whatever other reason. To me, it’s the same old game I knew and loved. Very easy to pick up and put away or just grind for hours. Can’t wait for the 2D HD!

— @niarfem

★★★★☆ United States · v1.0.5 · 22 Jan 2019

Nice game

Tribute to the old one, great controls and gives you that childhood fun, but the games difficulty was extremely reduced due to auto save and quick save, it is also reduced by personality’s and by your party auto fighting mode, your casters will cast the perfect spells and will change what they do based on what happens before their turn in the round, and having the bag, where you can store 99 herbs so you can heal after every battle without the cost of mana, take the golden claw for example, extremely hard to get in the original, all spells fizzle in the basement of the pyramid and you fight every other step, like 50 fights from the claw to the exit, quick save and 99 herbs = insta win, back in the day you could only bring what your guys were carrying and no saving until you got back.... excellent remake, but needs an original mode ( would be cool if it had an original graphics mode that you can toggle on and off too)

Happy they ported, but obnoxious flaws

To start, Dragon Warrior was the first console RPG I ever played and completed and due to the cost of the sequels and only being 12 at the time, I never played 2-4 on the NES. I always wanted to play them and now that they have been ported to the iOS I can now experience them and I JUST completed this installment at the time of writing this review. Since this is the first version of III I ever played, I was perfectly content with the translation and the graphical update. Here's where I start to have issues. Old school RPGs like this are a lot more challenging than any modern day RPGs because games of this time were designed to be challenging. They came with maps and in depth manuals. Now game developers for the most part are more about the experience than the hard journey. Not getting the maps or manuals with the iOS version, if you've never played it before, your most likely going to get stuck and will require some internet assistance. That being said, my first gripe is that the names of A LOT of things were unnecessarily changed. Item names, spell names, class names, town names... you name it. A good deal of it doesn't match the original NES port or the GBC or the popular SNES fan translated version. Why is this frustrating? If you look online for help, the challenge becomes trying to modify your searches to find help since there aren't gobs of iOS version guides or discussions out there. You read online that the Shield of Strength is a really helpful item and want to find one... you can't find help because in this version, the town is called Damdara not Haukness... and the Shield of Strength is called Shield of Power... why? Cuz... iOS version of course! The next disappoint thing isn't something I discovered till after I started watching YouTube play through for guidance. Both the SNES and GBC remakes have these GORGEOUS monster animations... the iOS version does not... why? It's not like there is a space concern? Why did they not make a "Lightning" animation and just use fire instead? I wanna say it was just lazy/rushed/under-budgeted game developers? Who knows, but the work was already done for them!! Why not just copy it over to the new engine....why? Cuz iOS version. I really love the game, the depth of the personality, class and multi class system, the story was awesome especially for those that finished 1 and 2... so I have to give it at least 3 stars. There is probably no interest in Square/Enix to fix these things, but if they did, the game would easily deserve a 5 star rating. I would recommend this game to fans of the early 8-16 bit releases of Final Fantasy and people like me... that never finished the series in their childhood o want to relive them again for an affordable price at the convenience of their mobile device. If you are under the age of 25 now and you don't have a mom/dad that jammed retro gaming down your throats since birth... might want to back off of this. It's probably not your speed.

So good

I just finished this and on a high from such a fantastic ending. This game is a joy from beginning to end, we'll balanced, good auto combat AI that saves you tons of time. Great world and characters but the best part is that this is the perfect evolution of the first 3 games. If you have no intention of playing 1 and 2 just play this one but if you really want the full experience definitely play 1,2 and 3 in order. I'm telling you it's worth it. But this is also just a great game on it's own if you never play the others and I don't recommend playing this one first either. @squareenix please release Dragon Quest VII 7 to us in English markets on mobile.

The roots of the iconic series you can take with you

I’ve never played this on an NES, but having played the OG Dragon Quest here on iOS, it was every bit worth the grab on sale. So you’re this knight of all trades, wants to be a hero after your father, set to battle yet another demon overlord—or rather, the first one ever. Play as a girl for some extra laughs no matter what you yourself identity as. You won’t regret it. If you’re a fan of Dragon Quest, it’s the same lotta grind for little money that will keep you battling for hours or just frustrate you to death. But it’s worth it for the variety of jobs your allies can take on. My only issue thus far is that the graphics look incredibly blocky on high-res displays. To that end, DQIII could use a touch-up from one of its earlier ports. But as I’ve said, it’s worth the pickup.

crashed on final battle

Never been victim of a crash until I was at the very final battle, right when I won the battle it crashed on me! Happened just yesterday, on my iPad (2017 model) The app probably needs to be fixed soon. I ended up having to win the battle again, after almost deciding not to. (pretty tough long battle) and it didn't cash the second time. I was able to see the ending. Other than this crashing issue, it is a fantastic game.
