The game is fun and offers a great action RPG experience, reminiscent of classic titles like Phantasy Star Online.
It works well on the Nintendo Switch, even with the Japanese version, making it accessible for players who enjoy the gameplay.
The combination of Dragon Quest elements and hack-and-slash mechanics provides a nostalgic and enjoyable experience for fans of the series.

The game is entirely in Japanese, which can be frustrating for players who do not understand the language, leading to confusion during gameplay.
Some players have reported performance issues, such as long loading times and occasional frame rate drops, which can detract from the overall experience.
The price point is considered high by some, especially given that it is a port of existing titles without significant new content.

The story in the game is engaging and has the potential to excite players, as noted by users who felt enthusiastic after just a brief play session. However, there is a desire for multilingual support, as some players find themselves relying on cinematics to grasp the narrative fully.
- “I only played it for a few minutes and I was excited for the whole week! I recommend it; I wish it had multilanguage support, but I will have to settle for the cinematics to understand the story.”
