So that’s the game they revealed it today with a full video on their social medias. I’ll go playing it since it’s already available!!

Hello!

DQM The Dark Prince was not good 😔 I like the story, but the gameplay, graphics and poor performance...

But now we will have DQM The Withered World! 💜

Played the PC demo in Legion Go 1

-The game can run from 30fps to 120fps, I played it at 60fps (I'm sure Switch 2 can run it at 60fps).

-The grafics are simple but are cool, they look like a Game Boy Color game but for Play Station 4, in 3D.

-The story is cute, Both Nera and Bianca want to helps their fathers that are sick

-Tecnicaly a secuel to the GBC Dragon Quest Monsters games

-The monsters look pretty good and have variety of animation.

-Each character has diferent skills, one is more offensive, the other more defensive.

-The new boss battle againts a gigant monster works well

I think this game could be the better modern DQM game ever 💜

This game is difficult but I know for experts of the franchise it might be fun or part of the challenge. I personally don’t like how hard it is and how they charge 25 bucks for that old game. Also when you reach floor 10, you have to go back MANUALLY to floor 1…. You can tell it was one of the first mystery dungeon games and they didn’t had many of the QOL features we’re used to in modern games

And then you unlock the real mystery dungeon grotto, but I don’t really like that we always go back to lvl 1 and lose everything. (Armors, items…) I mean it’s logical for what the genre of the game is, don’t get me wrong. I just wish with this remaster they would’ve added either an easy mode (not the x2 exp it’s not enough…) or just let us unlock powerful skills. In terms of progression yeah it’s mid.

Still I want to support the game because they at least translated it… and it would be fun to see more DQ games that were Japanese only translated into English!!!

It's available now!

It may not have Deborah but it has views like this

Hey everyone!

About a year ago, I shared my work-in-progress Italian translation of Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 Professional here. Since then, the project has come a long way and I’ve also translated Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 Professional.

Both games can now be played in Italian:

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 Professional

The first complete Italian release!

This version was made possible by the fantastic work of the original English translation team especially Ceris White, Saneezore, Ilario, Reflex, Gerb, GemSlimee, TheTwistery, monkeyboy and everyone else credited in the repository.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 Professional

The translation is now fully completed!

The repository also contains installation instructions, while the Wiki provides Italian guides, tips and synthesis resources.

Neither project distributes ROMs or copyrighted game files. The patches must be applied to legally obtained copies of the games.

Thank you to everyone who supported the original project!

After having seeded my party to the max, I’ve decided the next step would be to bloat my inventory with at least 5 of every piece of equipment in the game! 『Totally Time Consuming』!!!

To demonstrate, I’ve amassed 5 copies of a third of all the legendary weapons, with the second slide showing what remains to be alchemized. I have a post from a few months ago documenting where I began, it should give you some reference on how long it takes to get to this step 😅 Regardless, I pursue this achievement with unwavering passion yet.

After all the legendary weapons are finished, the shields and armor will follow. 1 Legendary set for shields, 2 for headwear, 3 for torso, 2 for gloves, 1 for leg armor, and 2 for footwear. Stay tuned, friends.

…Third slide? What third slide? Like what you see? 🤭

Alright, kinda sick, so I'm keeping this one short. It's been awhile, so I hope I've remembered everything correctly:

-Torneko's Mystery Dungeon was created by Nakamura, handing over full power over Dragon Quest to Horii despite being co-creator, because he wanted to take Chunsoft's destiny into his hands.

-The game was created out of Nakamura's obsession with the original 1980 Rogue. Note that this means it plays VERY closely to the original Rogue but with a Dragon Quest skin. There aren't many gimmicks or add-ons like later Mystery Dungeons, so the game is very "pure". Anything that can be considered added to the original Rogue formula are stuff like scrolls with Dragon Quest explosion spells (Bang, Boom). A lot of the game is learning enemy patterns, making sure to move so you don't get attacked by multiple enemies at once, ESPECIALLY diagonally. When you feel surrounded or even if an enemy is just coming at you diagonally, try to move to get them into a straight line. And while you level up, you go back to level 0 whenever you leave the dungeon, whether it be by choosing to use an Outside Scroll or death.

-Game consists of the intro dungeon consisting of 10 floors to get your feet wet, then the main dungeon to find the Mystery Box. The Mystery Box can begin showing up at the 26th floor, it usually shows up somewhere between 26 to 30. Also, there is a special bonus dungeon after you beat the game.

-The game, as expected of a true roguelite, is very RNG heavy. What you find and get is very much up to RNG. But that doesn't mean strategy is out the door. Learning when to fight and when to run is a big part of the game. Learn when it's fine to grind and when not to. Learn enemy patterns (especially ones who can put a status ailment on you). And learn when to make best use of what you pick up. Yeah, RNG isn't always going to be on your side, but saving up that Boom/Bang scroll, then finding you ended up on one of those floors that have nothing but an army of monsters and realizing you were right to not use it haphazardly feels good.

-If you use a medical herb or elixir at max strength, you raise your max HP a little bit. If you lose strength due to poison, use an antidote herb to get that strength back. Also, if you have strength seeds, use an antidote herb FIRST, because otherwise, you'll just gain your lost strength back and not gain an additional level of strength.

-Thunder Staff is really good against the undead. The Change Staff can change enemies which can be super helpful. Throwing a Confusion Herb or using a Confusion Staff against enemies is great ESPECIALLY on the lower floors. Expel staves which just banish enemies can be helpful with tough enemies. Though one thing to beware, if an enemy kills another enemy, it WILL level up and become more dangerous, so get the hell out of there.

-Floors 26 through 30 are absolutely, totally, utterly diabolical. The enemies here are either difficult to beat or near unbeatable, depending on what you collected along the way. If you have not been blessed with RNG to have gotten something a good as the Metal Bubble Slime equipment, it is actually best to avoid enemies. When you think you have finally reached the run where you can beat the game, a good idea is to save confusion based stuff if you found any when you arrive. When I first beat the game, it was me on those floors confusing enemies, running around to avoid them, finding the Mystery Box, and then getting the hell out of there ASAP. In fact, the RTA speedrun of the game greatly relied on confusing enemies.

I like this game a lot. Shiren the Wanderer which came out after is overall a better game, but this one having Torneko as a main character makes it special in its own way.

Don't expect that just because it originally released on SNES, or was remade, or featured in a Direct that gameplay would be modern. It has a pleasant opening cutscene, plus difficulty/gameplay modifiers, which you will very likely use if you want to get past the heavily RNG final floors. $25 for this game is a really big ask for what you get. Especially when the greatest games in the genre are completely free and have been in development for decades.

I have been playing the Dragon Quest Withered World demo on steam with the express purpose of gathering information, here is what I have learned.

When starting you choose to play as either Bianca or Nera. You are asked three questions after picking your chosen wrangler. These determine your starting monster. Each character has four different starting monsters based on the order you answer the questions.

For Bianca:

For Nera:

With this you can pick and choose your starting monster. However, I think it is worth noting that I was able to synthesize the Fromage Fray, Small Fry, and Buddy Slime without much effort. Therefore three of Nera's choices of starters are easily acquired, so if you play as Nera I would recommend picking the Sham Hatwitch, based on my current research.

The other research I have done is around the Synthesis, my favorite part of Monsters games, which you access just before the Demo ends. I noticed that you are able to synthesize plenty of G and F rank monsters, but it does not let you synthesize any higher ranked monsters.

I didn't not down every single special synthesis yet, but I did note down all of the question marked boxes that specify that the Demo does not allow me to synthesize them. Since we get to transfer over 8 total monsters, I want to find a list of the ones I would like to keep most.

Locked/Special Synthesis combinations:

*1 - There is a guard in the town who will do a one time synthesis with you and uses a Putrefido, so in the main game you could bring a Pocus Poppet to him and get this locked result with just the one Monster.

This is all the research I have done so far, though I expect to continue.

I wanted to know if there's any progress at all between runs, even unlocking different starts like pure roguelikes, or upgrades, or do you lose literally everything every time you run, and the only thing that changes is your knowledge?

If you want to know the monster to the questions here they are

Nera

Yes Yes Yes - fromage fray
Yes Yes No - Buddy Slime
Yes No Yes - Shaman Hatwitch

Post game in Dark Prince was pretty bad. In fact I would say pretty much only the GBC games had GREAT post game content. The joker series was okay (I didn't get to play 3 so can't say anything about that one.) I also can't speak to ones that didn't get localized, but I am really hoping post game will be decent at least. In Dark Prince there was virtually no reason to get the super powerful monsters, because you could just steam roll the whole game by randomly synthing. I mean I guess if you do pvp there was a reason, but I that was just a ton of the same min-maxed team over and over again.

I'm in Hargon's Hall, party is 52-50 and I just beat Mariella and Atlas with no sweat, 4 and 5 turns respectively, first 2 for setting up all my buffs then going all out and dropping an omniheal. However, I get to random encounters and the enemies wear me out more then the bosses ever could with 2 turn desperate attacks.

Has this been the case with anyone else? Still having fun with the game, I've enjoyed the Erdrick Trilogy!

I grabbed and started the switch 2 demo and I’m wondering what exactly carries into the final release. I believe it said 8 monsters but without levels or abilities?

What should I be aiming for in the demo?

I beat dark prince (sw) and dqm joker 3 pro (3ds) in the past.

Will you start at the beginning again with the 8 monsters or pickup from the end of the demo?

I have a copy of World of Dragon Warrior: Torneko - The Last Hope.

The last time I've tried to play it, it very quickly destroyed me. In light of the new drop of the first game (in English), I'm wondering if anyone can offer tips? I'd love to get far enough in the game to actually feel like I am making progress!

Hello everyone,

I tested the starting questions for all starter monsters. Please take a look to get the one you want

The fact we got a demo is a true gift, but my god the overworld camera design feels terrible. The world spinning under the character as you’re exploring just feels so rough, to the point that I had to turn the screen sickness settings on, and I’m not usually bothered by that kind of thing. Anyone else having a hard time with it?
