I thought I'd work my way through the mainline Dragon Quest games, so I booted this up on the Switch. It's intriguing how much of what's to come is in this game: items, enemies, the levelling system - some of which are unchanged even in the latest DQ11.

I enjoyed my time with it overall. The grind was real. But also hypnotic. I disliked the long spiel the King gave you every time you booted up your Save. Listen, by the time you've finished telling me how much EXP I need for the next level, your daughter will be dead, old man!
