A bit more tolegarble than their NES counterparts by virtue of better controls and better difficulty, but still a grindy and at times just boring experience.
I've gotten through DQ1, but shrunken screen does no good for larger map of DQ2, so as soon as you get on a boat you have no idea where you're going and where you are. That, coupled with insanely high encounter rate, made me quit the game, likely for good. Unlike its predecessor, DQ2 has a party, and therefore more monsters to fight, which is a drag.
I actually think I appreciate the simplicity of the first game way more considering the second likes to give you 3-6 monsters to fight every 5 steps, which gets old immediately.
