Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1/day in the week to Aug 4 → 1.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Reviews
Recommended when on sale ($29.99 would be a good price for this). Recommended for anyone wanting a relaxing simpler role playing game. There is a lot of customization and its fun the explore the towns. I found this one pretty easy, but I had played DW3 and DQ3 for the SNES so this was familiar territory. Some downsides are the pixel hunting, and for some reason I can't get the Steam interlay to display properly (its like Dq3 is forcing 4k resolution)
First thing's first. This to me is the best version of the game I have played. The HD-2D in this game is more or less perfect. It updates the graphics but stays true to the original intent. The animations are great, and the scale of the special effects are superb. The music is the orchestrated version of the melodies you know and love, and it just fits and works. The game doesn't play out EXACTLY how you remember it, the story has been slightly updated and there are plenty of QoL upgrades to make the game more smooth. Overall, I highly recommend this game, it is comfort food, a pleasant familiar experience that just hits the spot.

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 3: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

春节假期终于打通勇者斗恶龙三了，算挺有耐心了，还不错吧。
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake - это, пожалуй, один из самых удачных ремейков классической JRPG, в которые я играл. Визуал в стиле HD-2D просто отличный: пиксель-арт с современным освещением выглядит очень живо и атмосферно. Мир ощущается сказочным, но при этом не теряет той самой олдскульной простоты и уюта. Геймплейно это всё ещё классический Dragon Quest - пошаговые бои, исследование, прокачка, но с приятными улучшениями качества жизни. Система пати и профессий реально затягивает: хочется экспериментировать, пересобирать команду и находить более эффективные комбинации. Сюжет здесь без перегрузов и лишней драмы, но именно этим он и цепляет - это чистое приключение в духе старой школы. Есть ощущение пути, исследования и постепенного роста, которое сейчас редко встречается. Да, игра не идеальна: местами есть гринд, темп может показаться медленным, особенно если не привык к классическим JRPG. Но лично для меня это не минусы, а часть атмосферы. В итоге - это очень тёплый, выверенный и уважительный ремейк. Отлично подойдёт как для знакомства с серией, так и для тех, кто хочет снова пережить эту историю в современном виде. Если любишь JRPG - почти обязательная к прохождению.
Another incredible title. At first I was reluctant about the 2D/3D mix because it looked kinda off to me, but as I journeyed and started to learn about the game's world and characters I grew to simply love it. These days I'm playing both DQ III and XI together and I'm enjoying all the references that DQ XI keeps bringing up from previous entries to the franchise especially DQ III as the memories from my adventures from it are still fresh. Peak JRPG experience.
Vanilla ice cream of JRPG
Ремейк топ, это начало jRPG. Установил моды на русификатор и антицензуру - кайфую.
スイッチより画質が良いような気がする。 何回やっても楽しい。
This game is just so beautiful, HD-2D ftw
드래곤 퀘스트는 예전부터 이름만 알고 있었지, 실제로 해본 적은 없었는데 이번 할인할 때 처음 사서 플레이해봤습니다. 생각보다 꽤 할 만하고 재미있네요. 특히 직업 전직 시스템이 마음에 들었습니다. 동료 한 명만 잘 키워도 여러 직업을 거치면서 스킬을 이것저것 배울 수 있어서, 잘만 하면 거의 만능 캐릭터처럼 굴릴 수 있습니다. 이런 구조 덕분에 반복 플레이도 크게 지루하지 않게 느껴졌습니다. 처음에는 시스템을 잘 몰라서 막히는 구간이 많았는데, 조금씩 이해하고 나니 점점 재미가 붙어서 계속 하게 되더군요. 무엇보다 음악이 좋아서 플레이할 때 분위기가 정말 좋았습니다. 아쉬운 점도 있습니다. 적의 상태 변화가 한눈에 잘 보이지 않아 방어력 감소 같은 디버프가 제대로 들어갔는지 확인하기가 좀 불편했고, 적이 한 턴에 2~3번 행동할 때는 난이도가 확 올라가서 꽤 힘들게 느껴졌습니다. 그래도 전체적으로는 충분히 매력 있는 게임이고, 왜 드래곤 퀘스트가 오래 사랑받아온 시리즈인지 조금은 알 것 같습니다.
