This is a fun, cute game that will appeal to fans of the DQ and especially the DQM games. It feels a bit like a mobile game in a good way, like it's a great game to relax with after work or on the train. Not too deep, but lots of fun things to do. And unlike mobile games, no microtransactions. That said, it's not a $60 game. Grab it when it goes on sale. I've seen physical copies for around $30 which is what it's worth IMHO.

The monsters are gorgeous, especially the new jewel ones. I just wish the new DQM Dark Prince game looked as good (the demo is out and it looks worse than the 3DS games).
