Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake
$35 (was $60)
Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake recreates the original 1988 version of the game with all-new visuals, reorchestrated music, and even some new gameplay tweaks, while maintaining the content of the original. The original Dragon Quest 3 was notable for having one of the first class-switching systems in a console RPG, and a non-linear, open-world structure. The game still holds up well today, and the HD-2D Remake gives it a beautiful visual upgrade along with numerous quality-of-life features.
Narratively, Dragon Quest 3 takes place before Dragon Quest 1 and 2, so you don’t need to worry about playing Dragon Quest 1 or 2 first. Square Enix is currently developing HD-2D remakes of the first two games, too. They will bundled together in one package on October 30. The first three games form what is often referred to as The Erdrick Trilogy.
The art style of all three remakes aligns with Square Enix’s other gorgeous HD-2D games, including Live A Live, Octopath Traveler 2, Star Ocean: The Second Story R, and Triangle Strategy.
