square enix refusing to release most of the Dragon Quest games that came out on the 3DS over here is a freakin' travesty

If mashing monsters together to make cool powerful dudes designed by Akira Toriyama appeals to you then man do I have the subseries for you! Some overhauls make creating powerhouses a bit easier in this game (and for making the monsters you like powerful, too), which I honestly think is fun! As a result the game does end up on the easier side, except for the end- and post-game where a lot of bullshit gets cranked up to maximum. Think the only real downside beyond that is the lame accessory crafting and customization system, which has materials that are a pain in the ass to get in meaningful quantities.

Oh yeah, and I love the sci-fi-fantasy aesthetic the game has going on. It's fun!
