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.

    A classic RPG from the ps2 era but with the portability of a Nintendo handheld. In other words the greatest way to play an amazing game, where ever you are.
