Story
The peace of fair Alefgard has been shattered by the appearance of the nefarious master of the night known as the Dragonlord, and the Sphere of Light, which for so long kept the forces of darkness in check, has been stolen! It is time for you, a young warrior through whose veins flows the blood of the legendary hero Erdrick, to set out on a quest to vanquish the Dragonlord, and save the land from darkness!
Experience the first episode of the DRAGON QUEST series loved by millions in Japan and worldwide! Created by a legendary trio with the master creator Yuji Horii, the revolutionary synthesizer score and orchestration by Koichi Sugiyama, and art by master manga artist Akira Toriyama .
Unfortunately I can’t get over the weird sprites. I wish it was either a true remaster (i.e. FF3) or just the NES graphics. This mobile-port is not great looking and doesn’t do the game and its art justice.
I absolutely agree with you – this is not the ideal way to play, but works if you have no other means of experiencing it.
