Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the fun gameplay, engaging story, and portability of Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King, particularly praising the enhanced content and voice acting in this version. While some players missed the original orchestrated music from previous releases, many appreciated the removal of random encounters. The 3DS port is considered a success by many players.

    I prefer this game over a lot of the newer RPGs that are released today. Updated storyline, bonus characters, faster alchemy. An excellent remake of a classic PS2 game.

    Is what I keep hearing, but I dunno, I still haven't even played it yet. I want to, just haven't gotten the chance to play it. These remakes though are great to have.

    I was a huge fan of the PS2 version, so it was no brainer to purchase the upgraded 3DS version with new characters and challenges. Highly recommended!

    A good entry-point into the Dragon Quest series for new players, and a great example of the series for fans. There were a lot of quality of life improvements to modernize the games, such as seeing enemies on the map, versus random battles (a MASSIVE improvement). I would highly recommend it.

    I would say this game would be a decent start into getting into the DQ series, no classes, focus on the characters skill points with weapons. It's a good entry point into the series. I missed out on the PS2 version, but I would say the additional content added to 3DS version makes up for it.

    This is a great re-release of a PS2 game of the same name, a few things are cleaned up, new characters, but more censorship.
