I think I’m really gonna enjoy this overall, but didn’t get off to the best start with it. It’s funny, fairly unique in its style and structure, and the HD-2D style looks great, especially on the Switch screen.

However, the first chapter I picked ends in back-to-back battles—the boss battle proper and a second that’s clearly meant to be so easy you can’t possibly fail. Except I managed to (because I’m a moron and because I’m still learning the battle system), which unceremoniously dumped me back to my last save 30 minutes before. The game does have autosave, but who the heck knows why it didn’t kick in here. In any case, very annoying as it spoiled what was a great time.

Does anybody else notice that Mad Dog's attack 'Ride the Lightning' (formerly called Lightning Shot in the fan translation) has the exact same name as the Metallica song of the same name? like, is that a weird coincidence or some subtle thrash metal reference?

How is the music in this game so good? You got Rock, Western, Ancient Chinese (and Japanese) styled music, such an amazing soundtrack.

I just finished the Near Future and Distant Future a couple days back, and they're both really good. I really love the Steel Titan parts, as a fan of anime this was literally just Mazinger Z. Even the theme song is similar! Have a listen...
It sounds a lot more like the Infinity film version though.

I purchased this game and am really looking forward to playing it but I haven’t had time yet. I expect to start playing soon.

Finished three chapters over the last couple days. This game is wild. I have Shinobi, Wild West, Present, and Near Future left to finish now.
Distant Future: Probably my favorite so far. Kinda wish there was a full separate game of just this chapter.

After playing a bit of the demo, I was finally able to secure a copy today and started playing a bit of prehistory, it's so GOOD.

I wouldn't go as far as to say I loved it, but it's certainly an odd and interesting game. I'm glad it was remade and brought over to the west because I don't think I would have ever heard of this thing otherwise, much less play it. If you have any love for old school JRPGs and you're open to …

I'm glad it was remade and brought over to the west because I don't think I would have ever heard of this thing otherwise, much less play it. If you have any love for old school JRPGs and you're open to playing something "different", you should think about picking this up.

Completed the game Saturday night and, like the original, I absolutely LOVED it. I had played through the fan-translated original sometime around 12 years ago and never would've imagined that, of all games, Square-Enix would remaster this title someday.

The remastered soundtrack is amazing, the visuals are great (especially the attack animations!), and they did a great job at expanding the story for every character in the game. I really hope that we see more remasters in this fashion and I'm incredibly hyped for the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake!

I have this preordered, let's see if it arrives for the weekend. Reviews are also out now and they are pretty much what I was expecting: good remake of an interesting game that doesn't try to modernise the game design-wise, which is both a pro and a con.

I have a short bit of holiday also starting tomorrow too but I don't know how much time I'll have time to play games during that. Funny how things change. As a kid, holiday meant all the time in the world to play. As an adult, holidays always fill up with all kinds of other activities.

COVID Isolation continues with the demo for Live A Live.
This was not what I was expecting but it's a nice surprise. It looks great and is very charming in character. I'm a bit confused about what I'm supposed to be doing... I've only played the early period story so far. I'm hoping there's some overarching story? I literally went …

Played the demo after the direct announced it, very intrigued by this game. Did China and Distant Future.
