5.0 out of 5 starsGreat game, fantastic port. Exactly how games should be ported to Switch
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 November 2019
Probably the best 3rd party game on the Switch (and pushing some 1st party ones for the crown of best game) and that is not an exaggeration. The quality of the port is phenomenon, currently 80 hours in and have at least another 10 hours of post game to play without finishing all side quests. No noticeable performance issues and while resolution can be blurry, the quality of texture and character models look fantastic in handheld (and better in docked)
Content wise, it is exactly what you'd expect from a JRPG. It has all the cliche things that make or break a JRPG but nothing completely over the top and certainly suitable for western audiences. I've found the lore and world building aspect of the game fantastic and gripping. I never played a DQ game before, I am now a fan.
Levelling up can be a bit of a grind as your character becomes stronger but the game allows you to "auto" battle with a very intelligent A.I. system selecting the moves each character of your party makes and provides the ability to speed up combat if you wish. You can walk up to an enemy and let the game take over from there.
If you're looking for a time sink which offers a great story, performance and more importantly reward a 3rd party studio for taking pride in porting a game to Switch. This is it!
