Reviews
First thing's first. This to me is the best version of the game I have played. The HD-2D in this game is more or less perfect. It updates the graphics but stays true to the original intent. The animations are great, and the scale of the special effects are superb. The music is the orchestrated version of the melodies you know and love, and it just fits and works. The game doesn't play out EXACTLY how you remember it, the story has been slightly updated and there are plenty of QoL upgrades to make the game more smooth. Overall, I highly recommend this game, it is comfort food, a pleasant familiar experience that just hits the spot.
Give us the DQ9 Remake.. Please..

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 3: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 1/day in the week to Aug 4 → 1.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,419 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

It feels very nostalgic and still like something new. Quite a good remaster!
very fun. I thought it was very challenging compared to most jrpgs I have played and that helped me stay engaged unlike most other modern DQ games like 11S or 7R which are too easy besides the post game content
Another incredible title. At first I was reluctant about the 2D/3D mix because it looked kinda off to me, but as I journeyed and started to learn about the game's world and characters I grew to simply love it. These days I'm playing both DQ III and XI together and I'm enjoying all the references that DQ XI keeps bringing up from previous entries to the franchise especially DQ III as the memories from my adventures from it are still fresh. Peak JRPG experience.
É um remake fenomenal, me inseriu na franquia do melhor jeito possível. É muito competente em quase tudo que se propõe e muito respeitoso com o título de 1988, ensinando a qualquer um que queira aprender sobre o universo de Dragon Quest com muita maestria. Na parte técnica o jogo é ótimo, ainda que possam ser ressaltadas algumas escolhas ruins no game design. A movimentação funciona muito bem, dessa vez sem qualquer limitação por tiles, dando liberdade total do jogador andar pra qualquer direção que quiser. O combate é muito bom, mas poderiam ter considerado abandonar dois conceitos dos clássicos: batalhas aleatórias sem mostrar inimigos no mapa e não mostrar a party durante os turnos. Comparando com os títulos de NES e SNES, a qualidade de vida é gritante, ideias antigas (que tinham propósito, é claro) como a necessidade de abrir o menu para realizar cada ação simples como conversar com NPCs ou simplesmente abrir um baú, foram substituídas por um simples botão de ação, por exemplo. Dito isso, os menus continuam tão truncados de se mexer quanto qualquer outro Dragon Quest, o que acaba por ser um charme da franquia. O remake mostra o seu forte na direção de arte, os cenários são extremamente bem trabalhados, com uma quantidade inacreditável de detalhes. Gostei da forma como deram ênfase à beleza e singularidade de cada cidade do jogo, mostrando uma pequena cutscene sempre que o jogador chega em uma nova localização. Os reinos de Dragon Quest III são representações de países reais e é difícil não se apaixonar cada vez que se chega em um reino diferente. Ainda que reutilizem extremamente os assets e sprites de personagens, a experiência nunca se torna cansativa, cada lugar e NPC parece único por conta da direção extremamente competente. A pixel art é lindíssima, os personagens jogáveis, NPCs e principalmente os monstros, são muito bem desenhados (graças ao Toriyama). Destaque às variações de sprites de cada vocação, que são bem criativas e uma grande melhoria em comparação aos títulos antigos que não possuíam essa opção. A trilha é fantástica, uma recomposição orquestrada do mais alto nível, que mesmo com poucas faixas não se torna cansativa em momento algum. E o enredo, com certeza o que torna mais divertida toda a aventura, pode parecer simples demais ou até clichê para alguns, mas a verdade é que essa é a verdadeira essência de Dragon Quest, um grande épico medieval arturiano aos olhos japoneses (somado ao fato de que continua sendo o mesmo roteiro do jogo de 88 com pequenos ajustes aqui ou ali). Pra concluir, Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake é um título excepcional, um dos melhores remakes já executados e que, dado o tanto de conteúdo, vale muito a pena mesmo a preço cheio. Recomendo a qualquer um que queira ingressar nessa franquia mas que busque um jogo "moderno" com facilidades como aumentar a velocidade do combate e salvamentos automáticos. Jogaria de novo no futuro com certeza e fiquei inspirado a jogar vários outros títulos da saga.
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake - это, пожалуй, один из самых удачных ремейков классической JRPG, в которые я играл. Визуал в стиле HD-2D просто отличный: пиксель-арт с современным освещением выглядит очень живо и атмосферно. Мир ощущается сказочным, но при этом не теряет той самой олдскульной простоты и уюта. Геймплейно это всё ещё классический Dragon Quest - пошаговые бои, исследование, прокачка, но с приятными улучшениями качества жизни. Система пати и профессий реально затягивает: хочется экспериментировать, пересобирать команду и находить более эффективные комбинации. Сюжет здесь без перегрузов и лишней драмы, но именно этим он и цепляет - это чистое приключение в духе старой школы. Есть ощущение пути, исследования и постепенного роста, которое сейчас редко встречается. Да, игра не идеальна: местами есть гринд, темп может показаться медленным, особенно если не привык к классическим JRPG. Но лично для меня это не минусы, а часть атмосферы. В итоге - это очень тёплый, выверенный и уважительный ремейк. Отлично подойдёт как для знакомства с серией, так и для тех, кто хочет снова пережить эту историю в современном виде. Если любишь JRPG - почти обязательная к прохождению.
Vanilla ice cream of JRPG
Great prequel to dragon quest 1 remade
Ремейк топ, это начало jRPG. Установил моды на русификатор и антицензуру - кайфую.
