    A slow burn, but once you begin to appreciate the grindy gameplay of this early RPG as a Zen-type experience, the more you will enjoy Dragon Quest. It has charming dialog, quaint art design, reminiscent of the Golden Sun saga, and a simple fighting mechanic that allows the 5-10 hours of gameplay a peaceful experience, if not the most exciting.

    Dragon Quest is a fun, light-hearted JRPG with simple and enjoyable combat and classic Dragon Quest charm, though the lack of play time mixed with its other flaws leaves something to be desired, though at just £3.99 you really can’t go wrong.

    A historic role-playing game appeared in 1986, now re-staged on Nintendo Switch console.

    Unfortunately, the technical issues and art do take away enjoyment from playing this otherwise fantastic retro throwback. While diehard fans of the series may enjoy it, a more casual player might be a little bit lost when faced with its 30-year old design.
