Enemies are generally easy enough to kill in a few swipes, levels are simple enough to beat in a sitting (this is, after all, a more arcade-like experience, and not a game meant to be played for hours and hours on end), and you've always got enough cash and items at your disposal. Aside from making a few dumb moves along the way, we never found ourselves in a pinch. Just remember to repair your shield.Īlthough that simplicity also brings a generally passive overall feel to the game. It's simple by design, and still fun within its own right. It's pretty funny to imagine an epic struggle between good and evil with only the lives of a dozen or so NPCs at stake, but considering the audience, Swords feels less like the "easy way out" as far as design goes, and more like a unique action/RPG that takes inspiration from the likes of Dragon Quest Monsters.
The game houses only one main city, with one weapon shop, one item shop, one armor shop, one save point, one gigantic castle, and one station for mini-games. You'll want to buy every item, use every piece of material found for upgrading, and kill everything you come in contact with.
It's absolutely essential to look at DQ Swords as a role playing game for first timers, so in that sense the simplicity is warranted. Just select a new point on the screen, and try again. Every once in a while you'll get a bad swing, but with only the loss of a combo to fear, there's really no punishment for poor swinging. Players can attack with vertical, horizontal, diagonal, and stabbing actions, and for the most part they translate well. The real questions are, does it work, and is it fun? To answer honestly, both of those questions deserve an overwhelming, "sort of." The combat is focused on IR pointing and motion slashing, and while the concept is extremely simple, the design ends up being a sort of button masher with Wii motion swapped in. But if you've bee waiting for the game as long as we have, you already know this.
#WHEN DOES DRAGON QUEST TACT COME OUT UPGRADE#
Players take on the role of Blade, a young hero on a pretty generic quest to rid the world of evil, and from there upgrade their hero with some basic equipment and items, level up through battle, and gain a posse of friends and family to help thwart an evil uprising. Based on the original plug-n-play game from Japan, DQ Swords keeps the simple design, but uses the Wii's power for a more impressive audio/visual package.
#WHEN DOES DRAGON QUEST TACT COME OUT SERIES#
Keeping the soul of the Dragon Quest series in tact, Square's design has been simplified to an almost ridiculous degree, making use of linear levels and Wii-mote only control. DQ Swords is - in nearly every way - a role playing game for the un-gamer.
