Dragon Quest III: Soshite Densetsu e...
Genre: rpg - japanese
Publisher: Enix
Year: 1996
System: SFC
Gameplay Score: 2
Gameplay Notes:
The game begins with a personality test and a "push a rock all the way across the screen several times" situation that accurately foretells the amount of mindless grining you'll endure while playing. The rest of the game plays just like the other DQ games, which is to say that it's got all the warts of a late-80's RPG. Has not aged well.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
Theme Score: 2
Theme Notes:
This one is more like an old Ultima or D&D adventure where you build a party of four class-based companions and go out adventuring. I hate this sort of setup. It's so impersonal.
Art Style Score: 3
Art Style Notes:
The upscaled graphics won't win any awards but are much improved from the NES originals. Nice details in the backgrounds. Sprites are primitive.
Audio Score: 5
Audio Notes:
This music is a national treasure that Japan should be proud of.
Overall Score: 48
