DRAGON QUEST HEROES™ Slime Edition

DRAGON QUEST HEROES™ Slime Edition

Okay, so hear me out before you just write me off as a hater - I love the HELL out of this game. I do recommend it, but not on the PC. And here’s why.

So, the first problem that you’ll notice is that if you have Win10, then the game, on your first launch, will tell you to run the game in Win7 Compatibility Mode. Now that’s not so bad in itself, as it works relatively fine in compatibility mode - plays decently, seldom lags during actual gameplay. Nothing too big. But then there’s the other issues.

TL;DR:

It’s definitely not worth it at full price. I managed to get the game at $16 on sale and I wouldn’t recommend going much higher than that. I can’t recommend spending anymore than $20 on it. The game is deeply flawed, chock full of Defense-style missions, and a lot of uninspired questlines with no satisfying pay-off. Still, the combat was pretty smooth and I did enjoy it enough to want to continue to play it after finishing the main story.

Only pick it up if you love Dragon Quest, like Musou/Dynasty Warriors games, and see the game on sale for $20 or less. If even one of those criteria don’t apply, then skip out on this title. You aren’t missing out on any worthwhile experience.

Edit: It’s become one of my favorite games on Steam! You will really have to think to beat the higher difficulty levels.

It’s a good idea, realize the execution is currently very crude, and English descriptions are laughable. ; - ) almost returned it, but I’m hoping it will continue evolving.

There are some aspects of Tetris (or more accurately Rampart) in the placement phases.

it would be better to have more tiles, as it’s easy to trap yourself with a layout you can’t expand. Edit: You will learn that you can remove the bases and relocate them! Do this wisely for better chance of survival.

If you’re a native English speaker like myself, you might have an issue locating the button to select language. It’s a small hurdle. Apart from that, once you get an idea of what you’re doing in this game, it becomes extremely interesting. You start your little game being able to flip over three tiles, which you can select one of as your turret of choice. It doesn’t end there, and if you think your level one turret will end up just taking space, it won’t. Once you get enough turrets that fit into a crafting recipe, it’ll wipe those tiny little baby turrets out and replace it with a turret with more hair on its chest than Austin Powers'.

While the art is cute the gameplay is repetitive. English translation is minimal. There are no settings (audio, visual)to adjust the game so i hope you enjoy guitar and flute on a loop blaring in your ears.
