Kino game, killing lots of metal slimes for the sake of get one was totally worth it.

If you only play one DQ game it better be this one

Might have rented it or played a very little tiny bit before returning. Not enough to properly judge but enough for me to not be motivated to continue.


Didn't enjoy this as much as I hoped but still had a great time.

A very emotional game, which showcased a very dark storyline. A masterpiece, and there is no wonder that this is a favourite entry of the Dragon Quest series for many players. Recruiting monsters was a good mechanic, and the inclusion of your wife and children as party members was an interesting choice. Fantastic game.

The best Dragon Quest game imo.

An old JRPG with a lot of charm Dragon Quest V ended up being an enjoyable playable fairytale that didn't overstay its welcome. You follow a small likeable cast of characters as they grow up, experience loss, love and life, travel a classic world and defeat evil once and for all. Nitpicks of the game include random battles, a final boss I did not enjoy, a camera bug, a rote if enjoyable story, and annoying menu system. Give it a try if you want to go back in time to 2004 (for the ps2 version).

I enjoyed this more than 8 and 11 but not as much as 4. I don't really see the appeal in this series, it's pretty boring imo.

Virtually identical to the DS version, hence equally good.

Good game, but overhyped in my opinion. it didn't reach my high expectations. There's a choice you make in a game that's kinda neat, but it turns out not to be as consequential as it seems. Not a lot of moments from this game really stood out to me.

Kind of unprecedented for its time, and remarkably compelling

各種関連作品も含めて素晴らしいゲーム。ゲームで一つの人生を送れるというのは創作の極みだと思う。

Living through a life of the Hero was more personally affecting than I could have imagined going in to the game, and I the first person combat and ability to recruit momsters, while strange at first, became such a fantastic mechanic that gave the game such a distint feel.

Has its endearing moments, but can be brought down by some of the tedium such as unclear direction and the nature of random battles. Still, a lot of what makes Dragon Quest charming is present here.


There's no shortage to the number of people who'd call this their favorite DQ if not their favorite game ever.

The best episode in the series got even better. Enjoy the ride with cute 3D graphics and lovely 2D sprites.

emulator/R4 card goin bunk interrupted my progress on this one. it's very good, for the first few hours! i want to see how the rest holds up!

I recommend this to anyone who enjoys JRPG's, because this one really went beyond my expectations.
overall, sick ass game, 4.5/5
