Jedi Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) As the warriors dude of Serenes, I felt I needed to expand even more on my knowledge, so I picked up DQH, I am decently familiar with the DQ series, i've played 1, 5, 6 and 8, along with knowing some stuff with 3. I think this game does a good job merging a DQ feel with the Warriors formula, you take a party of 4 into combat, you can switch between em, they have skill trees and points, a very old school equipment system, etc. The CPU Ai for the people you aren't controlling is surprisingly decent for Warriors fare too, especially in Boss fights. I'm not that far in yet, but i'm enjoying this because it feels fresh for a Warriors game in a way, focusing on the small group instead of alot of armies, its just you vs Monsters with some NPCs, and you can get Monster Coins to summon monsters to help, and they actually do help. So its nice. The smaller arenas remind me of Dynasty Warriors 3 maps somewhat. Anyone else have exp with this game and want to chat about it?

Magical Glace Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I've watched a LP of the first and some of the second (I'll watch a different one when someone does a LP of the English release, the guy I was watching translated the text in his updates), though since I lack a PS4 I won't be able to actually play it until the Switch version is brought over. While I question some of the character choices (no VII in Heroes I, and no V in II... this is really baffling considering VII PSX is the best selling DQ in Japan iirc, while V is Yuji Horii's favorite entry), I would like to play it some time at least in part because Terry is actually good here, unlike in DQVI proper, where he suffered from a pretty bad case of latecomer syndrome. Now where's Heroes III with both Milly and Terry so I can have the Felonia siblings team up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also yeah the character choices seem weird while some making sense, which is part of why I always say with Koei to "expect the unexpected" lol. I just am trying to get to Jessica, I love DQ8 and I like her too. I'm liking Alena though Edited April 1, 2017 by Jedi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I don't think my laptop can handle it, it's not exactly tailored for gaming. Thanks for trying, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Branniglenn Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I've been out of games to play on Switch so if they localize that double pack then I may pick it up to hold me over for FE Warriors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
