Time to find the Ultimate Treasure! - Dragon Quest Treasures

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Please play it! I’m a lifelong Dragon Quest fan, sure, but I’m still shocked at just how good and original Dragon Quest Treasures turned out. This is the most unique spin on Dragon Quest in many years, and it’s a perfectly appealing adventure whether you’re a total newcomer to the series or a fellow hardcore player. TIME PLAYED I sunk five hours into Dragon Quest Treasures over the weekend, which got me through the early tutorial content, as well as the first major boss encounter and quests. By the end of that time, I had opened up access to travel to different islands and a half-dozen sidequests. I’m planning to spend a lot more time with the game over the holidays, as reportedly a completionist approach can take upwards of one hundred hours.

In a time before Erik and Mia became part of Dragon Quest XI's story, they were kids amassing tons and tons of treasure! Dragon Quest Treasures is an addictive game, whether you play it in short bursts, or in long marathon sessions! And it'll give you a satisfying feeling that's different from other RPGs out there!

Dragon Quest Treasures seems like an endearing little cartoon that combines easy-to-understand treasure hunting with streamlined RPG combat. It reminds me a bit of the Monster Hunter Stories series, which strips the complicated systems of Monster Hunter into a more easily legible game of rock/paper/scissors. And though I hope to see a little more complexity to its battles in the full release, I imagine it’ll be a fun way for parents to pass their love of Dragon Quest down to their kids.
