NOTE: To prevent crashing of game, please launch the loader of the game, set FPS to 30, and set windows version to windows 7 in this loader. Also, i do not think this game supports widescreen, so be aware of that fact too. This will lower the amount of crashes you get. I only had 2 crashes in post game because i think it happened when a party member died at same time i did a coup de grace move. Hello friends, Today I will review the game Dragon Quest Heroes Slime Edition. This is side game of the Dragon Quest series on steam. If players think this is a rpg, it is not. It is more a likened to a mix of Musou and Tower Defense. Many of the maps require to guard XXX spot or object and make sure it is not damaged and destroyed. So if players think this is a rpg, yes, it does have some rpg elements in it, but i would call it more a mixed Musou and tower defense than a rpg. The game features characters from many of the dragon quest games, including ones I personally did not recognize. There are story missions players must complete to move to the next story mission. Sometimes there are quests to kill a certain amount of monsters, or find a certain items to finish them. The rewards ten…

Even as dated this game is, I still enjoyed it. All the reviews kept complaining about crashes and bugs, and incompatibility. I crashed not once, yall had me saving like a maniac. Minus getting stun locked by multiple big monsters(which could be a skill dif, or my refusal to equip a CC accessory) my only complaint (from saving constantly) was the slow, unskippable dialogue while trying to save. WELCOME TO THE CHURCH! OH. CHILD OF LIGHT. DO YOU. WISH TO… SAVE YOUR PROGRESS? Yes No. OKAY WHICH SAVE SLOT DO YOU WANT? Guess who’s getting their powers! Are you sure? WE SHALL NOW COMMENCE THE SAVINGNING……. IT IS SAVEDEDED! DO YOU WISH TO GO TO RHE MAIN MENU?? OKAY BE SAVE ON YOUR JOURNEY! Every, dang, time. The games menus, while charming, are agonizingly slow. But, that’s old Dragon Quests for you. The power scaling is miserable, game has a typical RPG leveling system, however if you don’t sit and fight battles to their fullest, you will be under leveled. As I was advised by the quest giver every time I choose a quest. Most levels can be significantly shortened by the in game mechanic of killing the portal keeper. Why fight the unending hoard when the guy summoning them is right t…

Score: 8/10 It took me several attempts to get into Dragon Quest Heroes. At first glance, it feels like a straightforward Musou-style spin-off, and I initially assumed it was more of a surface-level crossover built on familiar faces rather than a true Dragon Quest experience. That assumption turned out to be completely wrong. Once the game opens up, it reveals a surprising amount of heart. The tone, humor, and warmth that define the Dragon Quest series are all here. The returning characters don’t feel like simplified cameos or one-note versions of themselves; they’re fully realized, with their original personalities, voice acting, and charm intact. It feels less like a novelty crossover and more like a genuine Dragon Quest world where these characters naturally belong. The game also incorporates more RPG elements than you might expect. Each character has their own skills, much like traditional Dragon Quest party members, along with visually impressive Coup de Grâce attacks that serve as powerful special moves. There’s also a solid equipment system and a tactical layer through monster tokens, which allow you to summon creatures during battles. These mechanics add variety an…

Want a Warrior's style game that's Dragon Quest? Done. Want it to also have a decent story? (surprisingly) done. Exactly what I wanted. :) Most complaints are about it never going on sale and Square Enix customer support, literally nothing to do with the game experience itself...
