Great graphics
Huge bestiary with many tamable monsters
Truly unique story with excellent writing and plot twists
Satisfying plot that has stood the test of time
Impressive dualscreen presentation

Addictive monster taming
Strong replayability due to storyline twists and extra dungeon.
Wonderful characters
Fantastic story
Plenty of recruitable monsters
Fun mini-games
Interesting knick-knack creating/sharing element and some replay value since there are three possible brides.
The editors didn't like
Tedious beginning chapter
Annoying level grinding
Huge time investment may scare off casual players and busy RPG fans
A little difficult to target specific monsters to recruit.
Sancho’s dialect and dialogue could be considered insulting. More challenging than the previous game
So prepare to spend substantial amounts of time level grinding. No quick saving in dungeons.

Abstract: As I stated with the Dragon Quest IV review, DQV doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel. This is an old-school experience with traditional gameplay that fits this game well. If you’re expecting a revolutionary experience you will be disappointed. But if you...
Abstract: Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride has made its debut in an English translation. Have you picked up your copy yet? From renowned developer Square Enix, Dragon Quest V offers an engaging RPG experience that is classicly Square, and worth every ...
