DRAGON QUEST HEROES™ II

In a once-peaceful world thrown into disorder, you join a band of heroes on an adventure across the Seven Realms to face an unknown threat. The playable cast includes new heroes and familiar characters from the Dragon Quest series.

Explore fields and battle large groups of monsters with fast hack-and-slash combat, then take on challenging boss monsters. Each character has distinct moves and abilities, and you can also transform into a monster and fight as one.

Build your party and develop its members by leveling up, improving weapons, and changing vocations to use different fighting styles, magic, and weapons. Online co-op lets up to four players join forces.

Players who enjoy the game often praise its fast, satisfying combat, varied character abilities, and progression through vocations, gear, and weapons. Several also appreciate its colorful Dragon Quest presentation and familiar series feel. Some reviews report poor PC performance, while others criticize frequent text and confirmation prompts; opinions on the story and overall appeal vary.
