When i first picked a Dragon Ball volume, i only knew about the series as an intense fighting anime with screaming people. Imagine my surprise when i discovered a colorful adventure filled with sexual jokes.

Dragon Quest isn't quite that, but it does have that Akira Toriyama spirit. Has a certain Action Shonen aura that elevates it beyond other numerous fantasy titles.

Playing this on the iOS kind of felt like the perfect way to get through all the grinding. It's the most intuitive way to play a game that is almost 4 decades old.

While not a game that has aged as well as other Famicom classics, it's perfection of the formula started by earlier RPGs makes it still fun to play. Hopefuly, future DQ games will just keep on improving what worked here.
