I remember playing the Dragon Warrior Monster series as a kid on my gameboy. It's wild that like 20 years later this game still looks and feels so familiar and retains so much of the same core gameplay, just like pokemon has for 20 years. For me this franchise couldn't beat my love for pokemon during the gameboy era but now in the switch era, pokemon's been slipping and this game looks like it's aiming to take the throne.

Got it physical day 1 at my local GameStop. Honestly I wasn't expecting much/wasn't very hyped for it. Although as a DQ fan, I absolutely knew it wouldn't disappoint. Now a good couple days in, I can confidently say that it's amazing. It feels very modern. Maybe not exactly DQ11 quality, but still a more than worthy entry in the series. Don't sleep in it! You'll be addicted to the gameplay (and story) immediately.

Same, best game out of the franchise. I like how there wasn't any stat caps and the stat curves with monsters allowed for you to make any target monster stronger. I always loved seeing +20 attack + 20 defense for the first 20 levels on a monster to be used to breed with something like a Tropicgel that maintained balanced stats all the way to 99.

@SenDog021 7 месяцев назад

Have been playing this even in the older systems, and not a super fan of the size system as the old ones are easier to digest. Agree with the DLCs being a little sketchy but still a very addicting game with or without it :) One tip about the arena / tournament matches where you cannot control your monsters is that you can also change the frequency a monster uses his move, use it a lot, use it sometimes, and never. With this, it will be easier to “predict” how your monsters will act. You also need to always consider the traits of the monster with your moveset to have maximum effect whether damage or status. See you in online battles :)

@ericleyba3157 7 месяцев назад

I think it was a fair review. I really don't like comparing pokemon to this series because it's a totally different type of battle mechanic and catching mechanic. I would compare it to the older games and explain what it was built around in the first place. Comparing it to Shin Megami Tensie is very fair especially SMT5. The colloseum or tournament battle systems have always had it to where you needed no control of your monsters and let their own nature's take over. The synthesis and music will always be a big staple for this series. Adding something a little extra is a great thing but is what fans come to expect from the DQM formula. Awesome review keep up the good work.

@Aegisatreyu 7 месяцев назад

Played the demo and although it was slow to grip me due to visual and story blandness and a tutorial that dragged I was really getting into it by the end. I will prob wait for a sale but the demo in the end was pretty good. The monsters were great as well. I loved the flying pancake monster

@RedGryz 7 месяцев назад

Very good, and very fair review. The only minor quibble I had was that while I do very much agree with your observations about the graphics, I do feel that the actual character models for the monsters are generally quite good with a decent variety of animations to help keep things fresh when using different movesets in combat. But otherwise, like I said before, very good review. And yes, I’ve played every DQM game that’s come to the west since they first launched over here. It’s part of why I was so excited for this one.

@koobsmooth 7 месяцев назад

Is this the best one? Capcom’s MOSTER HUNTER STORIES 2 looks a lot better graphically, doesn’t it?

@RedGryz 7 месяцев назад

@@koobsmooth The best? No, you’re absolutely right that MHS2 looks much better. It was more an observation, particularly in light of the comparisons to Pokemon, that the models do generally look good and have a decent variety of animations, not a claim of strict or objective superiority.

@koobsmooth 7 месяцев назад

@@RedGryz I appreciate the response cause I am kinda struggling over here. I loved the first JOKER but havent played the JOKER sequels. I am thinking that maybe I just let this most recent one be for a while and pick up an older much cheaper DQ monster game instead. The Dark Prince is a pretty penny and why shouldnt I think the Dark Prince Professional is right around the corner with all of the DLC already included on the cartridge? Anyway, thanks for the comments.

@RedGryz 7 месяцев назад

@@koobsmooth Ah, I misunderstood your question. I thought you were talking about graphical fidelity on the switch. I don’t know which one I would honestly rate as the best (bearing in mind I haven’t played Joker 3 since that never came over here through official means). If there is a Professional edition (other than the digital deluxe edition, I should specify), I would honestly be shocked if we got it just based on the history there. The DLC, while useful, doesn’t add any monsters to the game that aren’t already present, it just gives you convenience features for grinding and scouting/synthing via access to convenient grind dungeons for both purposes (the chest DLC is just semi-useful consumables on a time basis). Anyway, if you’ve played Joker already, then I don’t think you could go wrong with Joker 2, the 3DS remake of Terry’s Wonderland (which you’ll have to get through unofficial means if you don’t speak Japanese), or The Dark Prince (Again, can’t speak to Joker 3). If you want to get in on the ground floor for the competitive scene, though, and enjoy a Monsters game for the public element (which isn’t really possible on the older games anymore), then definitely get this and soon.

Easy way to get monsters to level 100 is to jump amons zone outside and also where you fight doplh the destroyer, you are able to find king metal slime and killing him with physical attacks will net you over 500K exp and if you find a large one its over 1M exp so really good way to farm fast exp, besides you are able to find really rare eggs while hunting king metal slime 😊

I wanna see the thing I just appointed me with the game is it feels like they made it very simple. The old dragon, quest monster games even the ones on the DS had proper towns to explore with a small side, quest opportunities. You also had to purchase a lot of items sort of like a item to get out of dungeons. I’ve had fun playing the game, but I just really wish it was a full dragon. Quest monster experience instead of being watered down.

@samwoodley1653 7 месяцев назад

One thing I would like to know is the build variety in monsters you can make. Is there a lot of variety and many options for moves and abilities you can pick from, or are there just a load of variations of damage moves and healing moves, with some general buffs thrown in? For instance in Persona or SMT games, you can fuse support style demons, attackers, healers, ones that focus on crits, debuffing the enemy, etc. Do you get that in this game or do monsters only do like 2 things each?

@rockmanfan5104 7 месяцев назад

Each monster has a few skill lists it can go down. They aren't skill trees but lists. You can put points into them as you like. Each monster has a few of these so 2 monsters might not have the same 2. You can fuse monsters and select what skill list you want to carry over. If 2 monsters share the same skill you carry more points over for that skill than you would with 2 different Learnsets

@le-mars 7 месяцев назад

There are multiple elemental skills, physical skills, buffs, heals, and debuff trees that can be transferred to any monster through synthesis. There is a very large variety, and because they evolve and you can put three trees on a mon , it’s basically infinite combinations. Ontop of that, each mon has their own unique set of “talents” which are three passive skills that unlock at certain levels that can be used to synergy with your own build. There is a lot of freedom in the game.

@XRoshan 7 месяцев назад

This is a Switch Exclusive, so that adds a couple points to the review IMO. For now, it's looking like Dragon Quest Monsters is better than Pokémon. I don't get that feeling of spite out of Tose like I do out of The Pokémon Company. TPC genuinely seems like they hate that their players have been asking them for a full-fledged home-console Pokémon RPG experience, while Dragon Quest Monsters' devs just came out of nowhere to deliver on that, even going the extra distance and tying it into the main-line Dragon Quest 4.

Its amazing how good Dragon Quest is as a series and how slept on it is in 'the west' even by square enix, I strongly believe anyone playing Dragon Quest 1 vs Final Fantasy 1 and moving through both series like that would come out seeing Dragon Quest pushing the genre forward faster and more often than FF ever did, especially with Dragon Quest 1-5 then FF takes over for 6-7 and its a toss up from there

SMT started it. Then DQV took inspiration from it in 1992 and Pokémon took DQV as a role model. :)

I’ve only ever played like one half of 2 separate mainline DQ games but their spinoffs are SO GOOD! Monsters, Builders and Treasures are all just so good. Treasures is like one of my most played games of all time. It just hits that sweet spot between chill relaxing game that makes me happy but isn’t boring like a farm game or something. And DQ Monsters is excellent! I compare it to Monster Hunter Stories rather than Pokemon. Honestly the entire franchise is solid entertainment. They’re not really life changing games but will for sure give you 100s of hours of entertainment easily.

I played dragon quest on NES if that counts? I got dragon quest 11 on switch that I've never played if that counts??

I'll probably wait and just get a physical jp copy with english language support as it is a lot of cheaper here. I manage to get jp Treasures copy in less than $20 and even a jp copy Adventures of Dai is around $30 right now.

DQM has always been my Pokémon. All my friends are talking about their childhood, filled with Pokémon and here I am. The only one who played DQM 😂

Based off this review it seems the game is exactly like the original game with some modern improvements. Which sounds great to me! I loved the originals, and the fact that the systems from the gameboy game still work today is a testament to the series. ❤

If you purchase a physical copy can you purchase the dlc or is the dlc only available for the digital deluxe edition? 😮

Feels like they perfected the DQM formula

For sure. Badly optimized, Graphics looks like a PS2 game with filter, Cutting almost half of the monsters, eliminating 3 and 4 sized monsters, cutting off animations, the paid DLC was free in the predecessor, etc etc... I don't think you know what "perfected" means.
