Dragon Quest II Now Available For iOS And Android Devices
As promised, Square Enix is rolling out another Dragon Quest title for mobile devices. The latest entry to hit touchscreen devices is Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line.
The second in the series was originally released in 1987 in Japan, making its way to North America in 1990 as Dragon Warrior II. In an evolution from the original, this entry puts players in control of a party instead of a lone hero.
You can download it today for $4.99 for iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, and Android devices. For more on Dragon Quest’s journey to mobile, check out our coverage from PAX. Additionally, associated editor Kimberley Wallace examined the future of the franchise here in North America.
Our Take
While the Dragon Quest games certainly hold nostalgia for me, I can’t imagine investing the kind of time required on a touch device. There are few games on these platforms that draw and hold my attention. For RPGs, I’d rather play on my 3DS or Vita.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
