A very energetic and funny "Warriors" game. Slash away at thousands of monsters while listening to light-hearted and inspiring dialogue. The controls are very responsive and the action feels good. A game worth your time despite its age!

It's fun, I'm replaying it now on a fresh save to experience it again. It's a musou game through and through, for better and for worse. Long, long maps, bosses with a LOT of health, enemies aren't too threatening though can definitely chip you down. You control 1 hero at a time, and take up to 4 heroes into battle who you can freely switch between. You can also summon NPC controlled teammates by defeating enemies and absorbing their souls, essentially. Like other musou games, your teammates are near useless. Ranged units are far better, as your hero allies will stick so close to you that they won't get to engage with anything on their own. Equippables, spells, characters, side content, crafting are all plentiful, but you're always going to end up using the same optimal combos, and jumping through your characters just to make sure their spells are used, as they won't be doing anything interesting or flashy at all. If you can survive the wrist pain, go for it, and if you're a fan of DQ, definitely give it a try. It's a slog, but it's easy to play whenever you want, no real deep story to keep your head around, the soundtrack, sound, monsters, art, they're all brilliant. Apparently the second game is much better, which I can't say myself, but I believe it. This one is just too long-winded and repetitive, but it's a good brain-off game. Definitely wait for a sale though!

A fun Dragon Quest and Dynasty Warriors mashup! The combat is mixed together well and the characters created by Akira Toriyama will always be top tier.
