◆ Prologue
A century has passed since the events of DRAGON QUEST, during which time three new nations have been founded by the offspring of the great hero of Alefgard.
But the peace they have long enjoyed is no more. Demon hosts summoned forth from the darkness by the fallen High Priest Hargon have brought the land to the brink of ruin once again.
Now, the young prince of Midenhall—a descendant of the legendary warrior Erdrick—must set out to find the two other heirs to the heroic bloodline so that together they might defeat the nefarious Hargon and restore peace to their world.

Ratings and Reviews
A fantastic port
If you want to experience Dragon Quest 2, this is by far the superior way. All the other ports can be described as "outdated" in certain ways. Non-user friendly menus and unhealthy amounts of grinding are no longer an issue here.
Let me stress that, in my opinion, this game has well balanced grinding, at least, out of all the other ports of Dragon Quest 2. Glad that Square Enix decided against padding the game with grinding, when they could have made it significantly worse and added IAP's. I'm very pleased that they didn't do that!
The biggest problem about this port is that it forces portrait mode. Not a problem for phones, I'd probably argue it's preferable to play it vertically on phones. But it is fairly cumbersome to play on tablets like that, it would be far better to play it in landscape mode for a tablet. I didn't think it was a massive problem, but I'm sure for some people it could turn them away from purchasing it.
At the start I wrote that this was the best port of DQ2, I mean unless you're Japanese, because then you'd have the PS4 and 3DS ports, which would be better than this IMO, purely because it's identical to this port, except you could play horizontally. But we don't have those yet, and I'm sure they'd probably cost more than this copy does anyway.
In summary, this is a great port of Dragon Quest 2!
Wonderfully nostalgic.
Everything you'd expect from the classic version of a now legendary franchise. Not as long as the blockbusters of today, but still full of relevance and charm. Will always be one of my favourites, and I'm thrilled to be able to play it officially in English at last. Looking forward to future releases, perhaps even on a certain handheld console? *puppy dog eyes*
Thank you Square Enix! :-)
Great Game, some sound glitches
Fantastic game, first time playing through the original trilogy. Had no issues playing through DQ1 on iPhone 6S but had some sound glitches with DQ2 - sometimes the music is playing but the button click noises and attack noises don’t play. Settings are set to default and closing the game and restarting doesn’t always fix it. Otherwise a fantastic port though
