    I loved Dragon Quest 4, but i just couldn't bring myself to finish this one. It's just boring some how. The pacing, the areas, the fact that you have monsters as party members instead of characters. I just couldn't get excited once I became an adult. The childhood part where you go explore a haunted castle was great fun however.

    A bright history lesson. Before Chrono Trigger and Pokémon, this game was teaching us about capturing monsters and the passage of time. Fair price, engaging adventure.

    If you have yet to play Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride, I’d urge you to check out the iOS version of the game. It’s not quite worth the jump if you already own it on DS, but it’s a cheaper alternative here than picking up a used physical copy of the game second-hand nowadays.

    The Nintendo DS port of one of the most beloved classic Dragon Quest games has made the transition to mobile incredibly well. For the most part.
