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.

    Having the monster visible on the field makes the exploration and hunting specific monsters fell less tedious.

    This is the 3DS port from the PS2 version of the game. The graphics are okay but not the greatest. For the price I got it for, it's definitely worth it. I definitely missed this game a lot and was glad to be able to play it again.

    If you missed Dragon Quest Viii on the PS2, now is the perfect time to play one of the best Dragon Quest games ever made. Simple standalone story that doesn't require any previous knowledge of the past Dragon Quest games.
