  1. Lolo –

    Love playing this game, just can’t get enough. Hope they make a sequel. You

  2. MichaelR –

    I’ve been waiting for this game for forever now and it’s everything I’ve wanted! Not to mention Best Buy had my order ready first thing in the morning!!

  3. Joshua –

    I haven’t played Dragon Quest Monsters since I was a kid, but I’ve loved getting to get back into it. It gives a lot of the nostalgia that I had a satisfied feeling.

  4. TrevorD –

    A wonderful revival of the classic spin-off series

  5. ParkerS –

    Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince has been a game I’ve looked forward to with apprehension from it’s announcement.

    I was not disappointed at all, if anything it’s exceeded my expectations! Absolutely fun gameplay, and a great overarching story.

    The selection of monsters and the synthesis system really makes even the minimal grinding that’s necessary for this type of game fun and enjoyable!

  6. Lester4 –

    Cool nice near I gotta get to 50 words it’s really cool.

  7. FeloyA –

    Excellent game luv it!!!!! Great buy highly recommended!!!!

  8. CharlesR –

    This is an amazing game that got canceled for my son and i ralked the customer service to take fare of it!

  9. Thomas –

    Monster hunting is very fun. Then after a certain point you can combine them to make brand new monsters, with abilities you choose.

  10. Michaela –

    For Dragon Quest fans and/or monster catching/breeding fans this is a great time IF you can overlook the performance issues. It sadly has all of the “expected” issues of a late-gen 3rd party Switch game: choppy frame rates, low resolutions, bad draw distance, pop in etc. That said, if you can ignore that, this is an addictive grind for fans of the franchise and the genre. One final word of warning: comparing this to Shin Megami Tensei/the monster catching/synthesizing/battling mechanics in Persona games is a much better parallel than the go-to Pokemon comparison IMO! The focus is much more on breeding better monsters to build self-sufficient, well-rounded teams than it is on just using the mons you catch for rock/paper/scissors elemental battles (for example: this isn’t the kind of game where you’ll be taking your starting mon to the end)

  11. Michael –

    Love DQ and this is a great one. Not a mainline in the DQ series but definitely one to play if you like DQ.

  12. Gamerman –

    It has been a very fun game and easy pick up at the store.

  13. Mvlee85 –

    Great game for what is a pokemon style game but more in depth

  14. Jake –

    great game brought back the memory of dragon warrior monsters 1 and added all three games into one. Oh and by the way i can not stop playing since i picked it up

  15. ChadS –

    Best Monsters Game yet! Perfect for those that love Dragon Quest and Pokemon

  16. user148602 –

    Great new entry to the Monsters series. Story is one of the best in the monsters series. While a bit choppy does well to incorporate it with the main line game it’s partnered to. Fusion is still available. While it’s not as crazy in fusion options as Joker, still has plenty of ways to make your monsters unique. It’s not really hard, but does have some side battles that are on the harder side. Veterans will enjoy the complexity while newcomers will be able to play the game and learn as they go.

  17. MelissaB –

    Was a gift for my brother in law who has been waiting years for this game!

  18. Mike –

    The game is great! Highly recommended for RPG fans!

  19. Tako –

    So nostalgic. Its been so long since the last Dragon Quest Monsters

  20. user482410 –

    I like the game a lot but some how the jewel case was packaged damaged, so its the rating for the game and not the physical item. As the top right of the jewel case was broken making it so it doesnt close.

  21. Devon –

    Such an amazing game. Been waiting a long time for a new game in the Monsters series and this did not disappoint!

  22. NormieConsumer –

    It’s definitely Dragon Quest! I think the initial storytelling and budget for the game could have been better, but it was a solid game experience.

  23. Erik –

    Easy transaction. Game arrived woth no issues and sealed

  24. Spider –

    Catching monsters, training them, fusing them yo make more. Similar to Pokemon, Monster Rancher, other Dragon Quest Monster games. It’s just a different type of RPG.

  25. KatLaydee –

    Great game! Been playing these games since the games were on the Gameboy back when the series was called ”Dragon Warrior Monsters”. If you like the Pokemon games and want a good Role playing game like it then this is your game! I love the series just as much as I love Pokemon and I am a HUGE Pokemon fan! Instead of using pokeballs to catch the monsters, you feed them to get them to like you and you will have a chance of them wanting to join your party.
    You battle with up to 4 monsters in your team at a time. I love the “different seasons bring different monsters” concept in this game too! Also has a great storyline!

  26. MattM –

    Phenomenal game. A lot of depth to the monsters. Synthesis is awesome. Definitely pick this one up!

  27. Jesusl –

    This is my first dragon quest monsters game. The music, story and gameplay are really good. Maybe the downside are the graphics. But overall it is a really good game.

  28. DOLO –

    Good DQ game with a campy story. If you have played any of the previous titles then you know what to expect. If not its essentially a DQ game with monster collection

  29. Lyonsman101 –

    Super fun games it’s like pokemon meets dragon quest but with a more mature story line.

  30. user277221 –

    This is a really good game. Particularly if you like monster catching mechanics. IMO not the strongest entry in the series but still a very good pickup. Love the story tie-ins. Service was fast and friendly on the pickup as well.

  31. MattW –

    If you’re a fan of Dragon Quest IV, you’ll enjoy seeing the story from the “other” side. If you’ve not played it, you’ll still enjoy the stand alone story. Monster catching and synthesizing are also addicitve!

  32. NakulH –

    Great monster catching RPG. Fun to play on the go and a great return to the Monsters series from my childhood.

  33. BryanM –

    It’s more of the Dragon Quest we love. I wish that the game was more involved, but it’s a true throwback to the old Dragon Quest Monster game and holds up to the core mechanics that made it good.

  34. Thisisme –

    Move over Pokemon, Dragon Quest Monsters takes the monster collecting formula and knocks it up a few notches. Highly addictive gameplay, a fun if simple story, and the addition of monster synthesis is so much fun.

  35. Llugo917 –

    If you played the gameboy ones you are right at home here!

  36. JordanH –

    Fun monster tamer with traditional dragon quest music, & monsters.

  37. NamelessDrifter –

    Big fan of this series, glad we got the new one in NA. Plays like a mix of Pokemon & SMT, but with the monsters from Dragon Quest~ Openworld, RPG, Collectathon

  38. Slinky –

    If you like Dragon Quest you’ll like this game. If you like Pokemon, you may like this game. This is basically Pokemon, but with collectable monsters from Dragon Quest combined with the monster fusing element of Persona or Shin Megami Tensei. The combat is deeper than Pokemon, but not as difficult as SMT. Story is there, but not exceptional, however the gameplay and collecting is fun if you like collecting.

  39. Wozz –

    This is a great game! Lots of action. Highly recommend!!

  40. Donna –

    Bought for grandkids. Played it once so far no complaints about it

  41. DrDreBeatsstudiobuds –

    The game is recommendable one of the best games of Square Enix

  42. user108603 –

    My son-in-law absolutely loved this game. Fun & entertaining. Arrived earlier than expected, so a nice surprise. Thank you!

  43. TheresaA –

    Bought for my son for Christmas he loves it good graphics

  44. user193701 –

    My husband absolutely loved the game and has been playing it nonstop since Christmas!

  45. Atom –

    What’s to say about this game love the series and this is king of the crop the game is just amazing the monster collecting is just like the older games from the gameboy color era

  46. NathanJ –

    Like Pokemon but more fun! Better story and more involved. One downside is some of them leave you after you breed them.

  47. Lucio –

    Kids love video games…………………………………………………………………………………….

  48. CodyM –

    Dragon Quest is almost always great and the added monster collection mechanics make it even better.

  49. Ektara –

    I really enjoyed the game despite some negative reviews I saw.

  50. S23r –

    Great variety in battles. Fun environments, and a cool selection of monsters. Fans of the jrpg or monster catching genre should enjoy.
