Dragon Quest Treasures

SCORE: 71

I am very thankful I had the money to purchase a copy of Dragon Quest Treasures on the Nintendo Switch. We get the normal Dragon Quest look and feel albeit a bit downsized thanks to the Nintendo Switch. We have a boy and a girl that we play in Dragon Quest Treasures. They befriend monsters that will then fight for them as they go around these different floating islands to find treasure. Treasures are appraised when they are brought back.

There is a flying cat and a flying pig in Dragon Quest Treasures. These characters reference themselves as false gods that must get the seven dragon stones to be allowed back where they come from. Players have a treasure finder that will point where treasure is. There are so many treasures all over the place that I stopped trying to find them. I waited until I was in an area where the treasure finder went crazy. I then looked at the three pictures and ran around that area to have the treasure reveal itself.

There are other gangs going around Dragon Quest Treasures looking for treasure too. We can battle them for their flags in an interesting little fight game. There are plenty of items to farm and then use to recruit monsters and unlock more station masters. Based on your monsters you can only carry so much treasure at a time. Players also have a slingshot to shoot pellets at enemies and their own monsters. This is a good way to heal your monsters.

Campsites are found throughout the areas within Dragon Quest Treasures. Those will restore all of your monsters back to full health in Dragon Quest Treasures. If one of your monsters dies then you can go over to them and revive them. If the main character dies then it is back to the last save. So you want to save often and also use the campsites since they are an autosave. Things can go badly really fast in Dragon Quest Treasures. Especially if you and your monsters are underpowered.

I found myself bored with the repetition in Dragon Quest Treasures. Finding specific items in Dragon Quest Treasures can be a pain as well. Certain spots on the map will appear so you know how far away you are from that destination. The issues families can have with Dragon Quest Treasures are violence, lack of attire, enticement to lust, bad language, gross things, crude things, weird attempts at humor, and more.
