A fun classic adventure
I've really enjoyed my time with this game. It's fun to play in little bursts which is all I really have time for. I just hope they keep making remakes so that the DQ games are readily available on modern systems. DQ VII is coming soon! Bring on all of them!
O lançamento de Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake não é apenas a celebração de um clássico; é o marco zero que todo fã de RPG precisa experienciar. Assim como a complexa (e por vezes confusa) cronologia de Star Wars, a saga Dragon Quest não se desenrola do jogo 1 ao 11. Na verdade, a sequência correta é bem diferente, e este jogo, o número III, é a continuação direta do primeiro jogo cronológico, que é o Dragon Quest XI. A ordem da Trilogia de Erdrick (ou Loto) é: XI, III, I, II. O Dragon Quest III é, portanto, a ponte que conecta o mundo com a lenda de Erdrick. E este remake faz essa conexão de uma maneira absolutamente primorosa. Um Remake que Respeita e Aprimora Visualmente, o estilo HD-2D (popularizado por Octopath Traveler) eleva a experiência a um novo nível. A equipe de desenvolvimento conseguiu a proeza de respeitar o feeling nostálgico do original de 8 bits, enquanto aprimora drasticamente o gameplay com gráficos modernos, animações fluidas e uma trilha sonora orquestrada que é de arrepiar. A história, já aclamada, mantém sua força dramática e suas reviravoltas clássicas, provando que uma boa narrativa resiste ao tempo. A Dica Mais Importante: Não Corra! Se há apenas uma coisa que você deve levar desta avaliação, é esta: não tente rushar. Dragon Quest é um RPG clássico de essência pura, e o prazer está na jornada e no progresso constante. Este jogo foi feito para ser apreciado e jogado com paciência. Paciência e Grind: O treinamento (grind) é parte da experiência. Faça-o aos poucos, de forma orgânica. Não encare isso como uma tarefa chata, mas sim como a construção gradual da força do seu herói e de sua equipe. Dificuldade Recomendada: A dificuldade normal é onde a magia acontece. Ela apresenta desafios sensacionais que exigem estratégia e o uso inteligente das habilidades de sua equipe. Não facilite nem complique artificialmente: o modo padrão é o ideal. Construindo Sua Equipe e Personagens Uma das maiores liberdades de DQIII é a criação do grupo, e o remake convida você a experimentar: Abuse das Classes (Vocação): Não se prenda a guias de "meta-team". Use e abuse de todas as classes. Faça testes, mude as classes e descubra as sinergias que você mais gosta. A beleza do jogo está em sua flexibilidade. A Perfeição é Desnecessária: Esqueça a preocupação com o item "perfeito" ou a distribuição ideal de atributos. Ficar obcecado em otimizar cada detalhe não fará uma grande diferença na sua experiência geral. A diversão é maior do que a minúcia. As Sementes (Seeds): Não guarde sementes! Use todas as seeds que encontrar, preferencialmente no seu Herói (o protagonista). Guardá-las na esperança de um uso futuro perfeito é um erro que muitos cometeram. Você encontrará o suficiente, e a melhoria imediata é muito mais satisfatória do que a espera. Sugestões para um Início Épico Para maximizar sua diversão desde o início, eu sugiro considerar a criação de um personagem inicial como um: Monster Wrangler (Domador de Monstros): Isso permite que você comece a capturar monstros desde cedo. Thief (Ladino): Útil para roubar itens em batalha. Com um desses em seu grupo, você pode começar a participar do Torneio de Monstros (Monster Arena) logo no começo do jogo, adicionando uma camada extra de diversão e recompensa. Por fim, explore todos os mapas sem pressa. Converse com todos os NPCs. Dragon Quest é um RPG para ser saboreado e apreciado, não um jogo para ser zerado. Vá com calma e aproveite esta obra-prima reimaginada!

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
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.
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 · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 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.

Mal vieilli... OST pas au niveau par rapport à DQ4 et plus (reprise intégrale des musiques de DQ11 dans 99% des cas). Le gameplay est plutôt bon mais la difficulté est en dent de scie, tu roules sur le jeu pdt 5h et d'un coup tu te fais OS, c'est le cas des vieux jeux de l'époque on me dira,.. 50h de jeu mais plus la force de continuer l'aventure, je ne sauverai pas le monde malheuresement.
Good game
It's a good remake. I'm looking forward to future remakes in this series.
とにかく懐かしい。 新たな職業が増えていたり、レベルアップで全回復などの違う要素もありますが、これはこれで面白い。 今でも全世代にお勧めできる名作ですね。
I frankly didn't like it much. I think the crown jewel of these remasters seem to be Dragon Quest 2. The class system feels like you're missing out if you don't minmax or plan ahead your class/personality path for your characters. It feels restrictive rather than freeing. You need guides to map out when each class learns which ability and when to class change. The game falls apart in the midgame once you get the boat. It opens up so much that the game turns into a collect-a-thon. And I mean like 6 hours of just roaming around getting monsters if you want to use Wild Side on your characters, not counting small medals and secret spots and sparkling spots on the map which I all gave up on eventually. You need to CONSTANTLY use nose for treasure, snoop, animal instinct in every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ screen in the game otherwise. I think if you yolo it and play without a guide, you might have a much better experience. The mini medal rewards suck and monster wrangler was nerfed, so just play without worrying about missing something. The game isnt hard enough to require minmaxing except the postgame. The story is rather weak but the added cutscenes for Ortega are great, and the final few hours after Baramos are also cohesive and interesting. It peaks there. Strangely Dragon Quest 1 remake despite having worse difficulty balance has a more personal, somber story where you truly feel Erdrick's pain. Oddly you don't experience any of it in actual DQ3, neither do you even see his friendship with Galen the bard that is talked about at lenght in DQ1. Weird remake with weird systems, but if you avoid those, it's an ok JRPG I guess.
