DRAGON QUEST® XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age™ - Definitive Edition

Веселая и добрая JRPG в жанре, старой школы, как на SEGA, вспомнил детство, когда играл в похожие игры, все на высоком уровне, можно переключаться 2D или 3D. Много разных врагов, магии, способностей, персонажей которых можно взять в свою команду, максимально в команде 4 персонажа! Простой сюжет! Легкое управление и боевка! Плохо нет русского языка, поставил русификатор от энтузиастов! Отличная игра в своем жанре!

Some spoilers later down this review. Overall, I really enjoyed the game. The only other DQ I played was DQ8 on the original DS. I enjoyed the story and gameplay. The boss battles were fun and I loved exploring the world. Now a few of my criticisms. None of these are deal breakers, but they were pretty annoying. I spent a lot of time at the beginning exploring everything and going out of my way to fight every monster in each region. Then the event happens and the whole world changes, and all the monster are new versions of themselves and have to be rediscovered. Then I read online it was happen another time because the world has 3 stages. This led to a lot less exploration. I felt the post game was very lackluster. I didn't even finish it. There weren't any new areas, you just explored the old areas but with rearranged monsters. The post game boss fights and challenges also felt really boring. They designed them all to have a semblance of strategy, but the opponents all use crazy annoying tactics that require you to be super over leveled or you have to do 1 or 2 specific strategies to win. Best example are the wheel of harma challenges or whatever they are called. The later ones there is literally only 1 specific line up and move order you have to use to beat it. So instead of spending 500 hours figuring it out myself I had to just google it. Pretty lame. Those 2 cons together also make it feel like they just reused the same world design for the game stages and post game as a cheap method to make the game take longer without increasing the amount of exploration you can do. My favorite part about DQ8, and I imagine most or all the other DQ games, was overtime you progressed in the game you got to explore a new area.

11/10 I feel guilty for buying this game at half price.

JRPG 근본 교과서 같은 작품

玩法太过传统了，相对当今回合制五花八门的玩法如P系列丰富的面具养成，如龙系列丰富职业战斗演出召唤技，dq11的战斗看着太过朴素了。 剧情就8小时体验来说啥都没体验出来，太慢热了。 等以后看看能不能补完吧

I do recommend this game, with some heavy caveats. I did enjoy my time with the game up until Act 3, where I felt like absolutely everything I had done in Act 1 and & 2 were pointless. I won't say any more about it as I do not want to spoil the game for people, but I do think if you get to the end of Act 2, and go "Yes that was a fun video game, I am done now", you would be perfectly okay considering the game complete. Story is...fine? It somewhat comes across as "baby's first RPG" in many ways as it's a simple plot, everything is over explained and the "twists" as such are pretty obvious. Act 3's story is awful imo and they should have just given you some generic open world with some super bosses to fight post Act 2. Battles are fine, if a bit easy. Combat system is pretty par for the course with a turn based RPG. Nothing particularly taxing or deep to learn. Locking the last achievement behind the hardest optional boss in the game is evil and will require you to grind your characters to level 99 with best in slot equipment and status resist gear. I normally don't achievement hunt but the game gives you basically all but 3 achievements for "free" by just playing through the story. Played on Steam Deck primarily, and would highly recommend for Steam Deck. Battery lasts forever if you limit to 30fps.
