There are few role-playing games that are as important as 'Dragon Quest III', so this new remake has a lot to live up to.

HD-2D is the loving treatment this classic deserves, but this remake will struggle to win new fans even as it delights retro-heads like me

With Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, Square Enix aims to appeal to nostalgic fans of one of the franchise's best-selling titles, even if that means potentially alienating a new audience. While I enjoyed the remake overall, I find it hard to recommend it to players who are used to modern conveniences in RPGs.
