    The game is great, especially considering its original release date. It allows deep customization of every character and lets you select your companions from the start: you can choose class, stats and personalities for each one of them (including your main character). The combat system is similar yet deeper than the one in DQ1 and DQ2 and has a customizable "auto-battle" feature forThe game is great, especially considering its original release date. It allows deep customization of every character and lets you select your companions from the start: you can choose class, stats and personalities for each one of them (including your main character). The combat system is similar yet deeper than the one in DQ1 and DQ2 and has a customizable "auto-battle" feature for grinding (wich is great). Also, this game is HUGE. The only problem is that this port to iOS and Android (as the ports of DQ1 and DQ2) have worse graphics than the SNES remakes (but DQ3 is the better one in this regard). Also, the SNES remake had an introductive sequence which is missing in this version. The new orchestral score is great, though.
    I would recommend this game only to every RPG enthusiast and DQ fan.
    Also, message to Square-Enix: it would be great to have this game packaged alongside DQ1 and DQ2 and released on a physical support for an handheld console (3DS, anyone?).    … Expand

    A great representative icon of a time when the RPG was made based on pixels and not with pompous video sequences. If you want classic RPG style, this is your game, although its adaptation to iOS and Android devices could be better.

    A walk down memory lane isn't foolproof for Dragon Quest III, but it has its merits.

    If playing in English is not a problem then this is a great moment to relive one of the best RPGs ever made.
