Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake Review
![]()
These new versions of Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest II aren’t simple remakes; they’re fresh takes on the originals, more so than what was done with Dragon Quest III. It’s unclear whether the developers avoided a direct port – considering there are already ten different versions of the first two games after about 40 years! – or if they thought the originals were too outdated for today’s players. I personally love the first two Dragon Quest games, even more than the famous third one. Dragon Quest I is a wonderfully concise RPG that cleverly works within the hardware’s limitations. Dragon Quest II, however, aimed for greater scope than it could realistically achieve.
