Straightforward but rewarding turn-based combat paired with a classic hero\u2019s journey told in a picturesque fantasy world result in a wonderfully traditional RPG experience I\u2019ve always found so comforting. So when I was given the choice at a recent preview event to try out Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake on either PlayStation 5 or Nintendo Switch, the choice to settle in on the couch in the Switch\u2019s handheld mode was an easy one.<\/p>\n<p>And rest assured, Switch owners, Dragon Quest 3 looked and ran great on the aging Nintendo system. Square Enix\u2019s other HD-2D games like Octopath Traveler and Live A Live were perfect for playing in short bursts before bed, and Dragon Quest 3 is looking to fit that mold as well. <\/p>\n<p>Unlike our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/dragon-quest-3-hd-2d-remake-is-as-faithful-as-you-could-ask\">first look at Dragon Quest 3\u2019s remake<\/a> which showed off how faithfully it\u2019s sticking to the roots of the 30-plus-year-old NES RPG, the hour I played Dragon Quest 3 was spent with some of the remake\u2019s brand-new additions. And so far, I\u2019m extremely pleased with the new content that spruces things up without unrecognizably transforming the original experience. <\/p>\n<p>First, I hung out in the revamped Monster Arena, where you can send monsters you\u2019ve defeated and recruited throughout the game to do battle against other teams of creatures. In the original Dragon Quest 3, you could simply bet on the outcome of fights in the Monster Arena, but this remake lets you get in on the action yourself. Monster collecting has been a big part of both the main Dragon Quest games and the Monsters spinoff series for decades, and it\u2019s great to see that legacy continue here.<\/p>\n<p>I entered the arena with a preset team of a Slime, Healslime, and Spiked Hare, but this side mode is clearly set up for me to make my own teams with monsters I recruit across the main game. You don\u2019t directly command your team in the Monster Arena tournament, but rather set how they should act in battle from four distinct options: Show No Mercy, Fight Wisely, Focus on Healing, and Don\u2019t Use MP. <\/p>\n<p>For the first few rounds, I instructed my Healslime to focus on healing its allies while the Slime and Spiked Hare dealt all the damage, but once I realized I had this fight in the bag, I had my whole team go all out. This monster auto battler seems like a fun distraction from the main adventure, and I can see myself swinging by regularly to fine-tune my team and enter them in tournaments. <\/p>\n<p>While watching my team do battle I found myself mesmerized by the enemy character models. I\u2019ve felt that Dragon Quest and the HD-2D art style were a match made in heaven since this remake\u2019s initial reveal, and seeing it in action confirmed how much I love seeing these classic enemies in Square Enix\u2019s enticing art direction. The killerpillar (an evil caterpillar, if you couldn\u2019t guess) I faced in my first fight had a very detailed idle animation where it bounced back and forth, and the way it wriggled its entire body when gearing up for an attack made the whole turn-based fight feel so much more dynamic. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve felt that Dragon Quest and the HD-2D art style were a match made in heaven since this remake\u2019s initial reveal, and seeing it in action confirmed how much I love seeing these classic enemies in Square Enix\u2019s enticing art direction. <\/p>\n<p>The same can be said of the awesome character models for Robbin&#8217; &#8216;Ood and his set of Robbin&#8217; &#8216;oodlums, the boss fight I faced at the top of Skyfell Tower. Ascending the tower was a classic, atmospheric dungeon experience filled with random encounters. Here, I was impressed with how flexible Dragon Quest 3\u2019s combat system is. Remember those four preset orders I could assign to my team in the Monster Arena? In Dragon Quest 3\u2019s core combat, those presets are still available to you, with the added option of \u201cFollow Orders\u201d. This means you can rip through the low-stakes random encounters in a dungeon by telling all four of your party members to Show No Mercy, but when a challenging boss fight begins, you can take control of every decision to ensure you emerge victorious. This, combined with the ability to crank up the battle speed whenever you like, adds to that cozy, relaxing game feel I mentioned earlier. It\u2019s enjoyable to kick back and watch the experience points roll in during the low level fights that only take a few seconds at max speed, but when I reached the top of the tower to face off against Robbin \u2018Ood, I wanted to make every choice myself.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s a good thing I did take control of the boss fight, because it was a nail-biter. I had to use my Priest to heal my party several times, while my protagonist and Monster Wrangler \u2013 which is a new class introduced to the remake \u2013 dealt the heavy blows. I let out a big sigh of relief when Robbin \u2018Ood finally fell to the ground, and it just made me want to rush straight to the next dungeon to face off against the next big boss.<\/p>\n<p>I imagine players will have a ton of fun customizing their party and making changes to it throughout the game.<\/p>\n<p>I also want to shout out this remake\u2019s new party customization feature. The party members in Dragon Quest 3 are blank slates, but the remake revamps Patty\u2019s Party Planning Place, a tavern where you can design your own party members, choosing their class, name, appearance, hair color, and voice. There aren\u2019t very many customization options, but enough to make a rudimentary version of myself that I inserted into my party. I imagine players will have a ton of fun customizing their party and making changes to it throughout the game.<\/p>\n<p>Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is out November 14 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, with Dragon Quest I &amp; II HD-2D Remake arriving sometime next year.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I find the word \u201ccozy\u201d to be dreadfully overused when assigning genres to video games these days, but it\u2019s hard to find another adjective that so perfectly captures what I love about Dragon Quest.
