What real reviews say

★★★★★ Favorite DQ Game! Needs A Landscape Mode. This is my favorite Dragon Quest game ever. It would have been perfect if I could switch it to a landscape mode.

★★★★★ A Beautiful Game Excellent graphics, art style, and gameplay. One of the best and most engaging stories in a JRPG—action, suspense, mystery, tragedy, joy, whimsy, romance—an unforgettable adventure. Easily worth the price because of the dozens of hours you will pour into it.

★ Was excited to buy and try but……. I’m still at the beginning, but three things are stopping me from continuing: there’s no controller support, the on-screen controls are awkward, and the game only supports horizontal play. I’m using an iPad, so holding it like that gets tiring fast. Please update the game—I really want to enjoy it,
