I'm giving it a 5 star review due to it being a great remake that is true to the original. The touch screen interface works nicely considering the source material. There are some nice quality of life improvements such as 'hidden' items flickering so they are easier to find. The echo flute was probably the hardest item for me to find. The retranslation wasn't the best. I don't recall the original having such obtuse language. However, it was fun to revisit this game from my childhood!

So, I really liked DQ1 whereas the game was pretty spot on other than the names of things ie, monsters, towns/dungeons/map, people I really enjoyed it and appreciate SE for putting it on mobile. Now with this game I was really enjoying it except with a few things. 1. The rate of monster encounters (seemed a little over done compared to DQ1). 2. Trying to figure out what Im supposed to do in the game DQ2 walkthroughs online arent very helpful considering a majority of them are based on SNES DW2 and so getting stuck in a few areas are easy ex, The tower of wind. 3. Which I felt being with all that was online stating POC should learn the spells at certain levels that I was getting frustrated when I wasnt learning them at the certain levels but after looking on youtube and seeing the walkthrough Piggasus had done I saw that the spells were learnt at a later level. I hope that this is it.

Don't listen to the haters & the newcomers, this game is still excellent. The game was made during a time where you needed to figure things out on your own rather than other JRPGs where they hold your hand and make things too easy to a point where it's simply boring. This Dragon Quest is one of the most challenging, but with that challenge, you feel satisfied after you win a difficult fight. The entire game is rather satisfying because of that. I urge people to pick it up, it's still fantastic.

Edit: the touch screen issued are now fixed, game works great. Thanks. This game has the same touch screen issue that DQ1 has, where you have to tap above everything and it registers below it. However, with DQ1, you can put it in compatibility mode under app scaling and it fixes the problem. For some reason, this game doesn't show up in my list for app scaling, so I can't fix it. Edited

Although a lot easier than the old NES game, this game has much to offer. It's interface is easy to pick up, and the story is great. The updated version, has more dialogue than the original. With very little difference as far as maps and item placement. The updated graphics are subpar; but it's a Dragon Quest game...(if you want graphics go to Final Fantasy). Overall, a great value for an awesome game.
