Pretty cool port
Huge Dragon Quest fan. Graphics look great.
Compared to the GBC version, I was happy about a few things and not so happy about some others.
Walking - walking speed seems to be a little faster which is good.
Maps - A few of the maps were changed which seemed a little needless and really didnt add to the experience. Not terrible though. Just expect to be a little lost on the final castle if youre a return player.
Controls - Not bad once you get used to them. I wasnt all that excited about the omission of the search under foot option which has been replaced with shining tiles where items can be found with the action button. It feels a little spoon-fed and takes away from the game. In the original, you had to speak to NPCs to get hints about the location of items that were hidden. Now you can just see them outright.
Music - They orchestrated the music. Not sure how I feel about that. I likes the old chiptune sounds.
Quicksave - Definitely a convenience and you dont have to use it if you want a a more classic experience.
Overall it was a nice experience and worth the $2.99. I still like Dragon Quest III (Dragon Warrior III on GBC) better, although Im skeptical about the omissions made to the iOS version.
This one is technically the RPG that started it all and its worth a play through.
