Take A Mobile Journey through the Land of Alefgard in DRAGON
QUEST
LOS ANGELES (Sep. 11, in the year of our Lord 2014) – After its
launch in 1986, DRAGON QUEST™ saw international success for
being one of the first console role-playing games (RPG). Three
years later, the title launched in North America for the
Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) under the name DRAGON
WARRIOR®. Since then, DRAGON WARRIOR I & II was released for the
Game Boy Color in 2000. Now, for the first time in 14 years,
SQUARE ENIX® has released DRAGON QUEST – a classic retro title
that pioneered the development of the RPG genre – on iPhone®,
iPad®, iPod touch® and Android™ devices.
An introductory title to the acclaimed series, DRAGON QUEST
players begin their voyage as the “Hero,” a descendent of the
valiant hero Erdrick. Featuring an epic journey through the
historic realm of Alefgard, players must tackle fearsome foes
and adventure through perplex dungeons on their way to the
trepid Dragonlord’s lair. After defeating an abundance of
enemies, players can explore greater distances and complete
additional quests.
“DRAGON QUEST is an extremely pivotal title within the industry;
not only was it one of the first highly successful turn-based
RPG’s, but it also spawned the successful franchise and set the
standard for all other role-playing video games,” said Noriyoshi
Fujimoto, the producer of the mobile DRAGON QUEST series. “We
are thrilled to bring the legend of DRAGON QUEST to mobile
devices and cannot wait for new and old fans to rediscover the
RPG that won the hearts of two generations.”
DRAGON QUEST’s sets forth a visually aesthetic and colorful
terrain, allowing mobile players to explore a fantasy world
filled with swords, magic and monsters – all in one standalone
package (with no in-app purchases). The game’s simple and
intuitive controls mimic the classic retro game play of the
never-before-released (in US) Super Nintendo version, and are
optimized to work perfectly with the vertical layout of any
modern mobile device. Moreover, the position of the movement
button can be changed to facilitate both left and right-handed
game play. In addition, DRAGON QUEST features a legendary trio
of creators: master creator Yuji Horii, revolutionary music
composer Koichi Sugiyama and art master Akira Toriyama.
DRAGON QUEST is now available for $2.99 on iPhone, iPad, iPod
touch and Android devices.
