DRAGON QUEST V App Reviews

iOS needs more games like this. Nintendo is missing out on a huge market sector of casual gamers who dont have time/money to invest in pricey consoles and piles of hard copy games.

Played it on the ds and the snes and now I have it on the iPod touch. Love this series and love this game. Just beat DQ Heroes last night and all I can think about is Dragon Quest.

I played Dragon Quest games as a child on Game Boy and got back into them recently. Always played the monster games and not the plain old Dragon Quest, but this one I was told has monsters. And it does! And it’s cool to build up a team of them though it’s certainly not the focus of the game. The focus here is a well-written interactive story that’s touching, engrossing and funny. The port to iPhone is excellent, can hardly tell I’m not on a Gameboy. And it’s hours and hours of play too – I’ve played 24 hours so far and I’m still playing. It’s not some fly by night hacked up mobile game, it’s rich and gorgeous and fun. I hope this introduces more people to the fantastic Dragon Quest games.

This is the definitive version of the DQV remake, and DQV itself is one of the best in the series. The storyline was sprawling and revolutionary at the time (and still is!). Classic Dragon Quest gameplay, refined. The iOS version is like joining up the two DS screens and taking out the gap, and upgrading the resolution. It looks and sounds great on iPhone and iPad, and you can play it one-handed on your phone. It is uniquely suited to portrait mode due to being played that way on the DS (just on two separated screens instead of one joined screen). Its a little weird playing with touchscreen controls, but again, you can play one-handed!

One of my favorite in this series,Just cant put it down once I started to play!

Best dragon quest game. Ive played it nonstop for 3 days now. Works just fine on the iPhone. If youre reading and wondering if you should buy this game, just do it. Worth the money. Its a fun game to play on the bus ride somewhere. Very grindy so make sure you like that in your RPGs!

Like many have said, this is a GREAT game. I bought it after it was so highly recommended on Touch Arcade. I also love its portrait view, allowing it to be played one-handed. The biggest thing that this needs is to be able to listen to other audio sources. Id love to be able to listen to podcasts while I play, but it always stops everything else, even when its own music is turned off. It also needs quick saves, like so many others have said. This is surprising. I would love the buttons to be cleaned up on the main view. Many dont do anything and theyre ugly.

Oh my god. Are u kidding me with the saving only in churches? We need more save points in mobile games.

This is one of my favorite RPG franchises of all time. Ive played them all on console and portable and keep coming back to this one because its storyline is superb. I give it five stars. My only gripe with this - and the others - is this... this version is for a mobile device - iPhone or iPad. There have been a few times where I was waiting in line someplace, pulled out the phone, and started playing... but I had to stop because whenever I entered a dungeon, I knew I couldnt save my progress. Autosave works great, EXCEPT not in dungeons! I dont understand how such a silly limitation could be placed on a version of the game ported to mobile devices... Ive lost progress several times because I had to quit in the middle of a dungeon - only to watch the game reset upon executing it again... I hope this issue is addressed in the future, it is a limitation that really makes no sense whatsoever.

Downloaded the game and loved it instantly. Actually I loved it so much that I played it for about 6 hours after I bought it. Im not a big gamer so 6 hours spent playing a game is excessive to me. The problem is, after all the hours I spent playing, I just now realized that my game save is completely gone and now I have to f***king start over. I want to throw my phone so bad right now.

I decided to buy for $9.9 with yearly sale but payment proceeded $14.9 regular price. Please refund it.

Dragon quest V is amazing! A classic Rpg with a story line that is still original even today. I want to write more but honestly, I need to get back to playing the game!
