Awaken your power and protect the land!

You are the Luminary, the hunted hero who will protect the land from destruction in the latest RPG from the iconic DRAGON QUEST® series. With a ragtag band of adventurers, you’ll engage in well-balanced, turn-based battles and embark on quests across the kingdom of Erdrea. Forge gear, develop party members’ skills, and alter their outfits without changing gear in this edition of the game! This version also lets you ride and attack with monsters on the field to earn experience points, as well as change between HD or 16-bit visuals, symphonic or synth music, and English or Japanese audio. Complete the tale with new character-focused stories, and travel to past DRAGON QUEST worlds!

Across the land, you’ll meet the mysterious Tockles—creatures that allow you to visit 2D, 16-bit versions of areas from popular entries in the series like DRAGON QUEST IV and DRAGON QUEST VIII! It’s fun to see these classic worlds reimagined in retro style, meshing perfectly with the main game’s 2D mode. Like all past DRAGON QUEST games, this one’s character designs are based on the signature style of famed artist Akira Toriyama. Paired with the voiced dialogue, the rich personalities of your most loyal companions and fiercest enemies are brought to life, so you can fully immerse yourself in this quest to discover the Luminary’s true heritage and awaken your power. For a greater challenge, start the game with the Draconian Quest setting, and capture your favorite moments with Photo Mode!

One of the best RPGs of all time
One of the best RPGs ever made. This is right up there with Final Fantasy VI and Chrono Trigger for me. It sucks that you have to save and quit to switch between 3D and 2D, but the game is still amazing, and I love that they brought that feature back from the 3DS version.

Dragon Quest 11 - Honest Full Review
I haven't finished Dragon Quest 11 on Switch yet, but only because there is just so much to do! In order to reach the true ending, and complete all challenges - you are looking at approximately 120+ hours worth of content. Without a doubt, this is single handedly one of the best JRPGs I've had the pleasure to enjoy playing. I got hooked from Xbox game pass, and needed to be able to play this title on the go... not to mention, Switch definitive edition has exclusive content that is not available on Xbox or Playstation. Overall the story, character development, and gameplay are all captivating aspects of DQ11. However, I can guarantee you'll enjoy nearly every step of your journey. There is a unique variety of companions, who each have their own class/skill set, substory, outfits, and contributions as party members. Also, the world is incredibly expansive and feels genuinely fun to explore. The art design is cute, and may remind folks of Dragonball, because that person is responsible for creating both worlds. Finally, the original soundtrack is filled with epic symphonies, and a strong orchestra to support exciting discovery, impending doom, dramatic moments, or even just the simple town background -- you name it, this OST does not miss! There is plenty of nostalgia for fans of the series, yet it is also a great place to introduce yourself to the dragon quest world. Personally, I preferred playing in 3D mode to get the most out of my experience. I did not enjoy playing the game in 2D, but for "OG" fans of the DQ series, or people who appreciate retro/arcade style graphics, this feature is for you. That would be my only critique -- I did not particularly enjoy being restricted to 2D mode as you saved Tickington, where you had to travel to previous DQ worlds, and complete quests there. This really catered to the older audience/fanbase. And, you unfortunately do need to complete this content to reach the true ending. With that being said, I highly recommend this title for anyone who likes turn based combat, like Pokemon, or party systems, such as Final Fantasy. If nothing less, you will be completely enthralled with this immersive narrative, which is injected with humorous, wholesome moments, yet balanced with the gravity of your responsibility as the Hero. Totally kid friendly!
