Great news for all you Dragon Quest fans out there, as Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai: A Hero’s Bonds lands later this month, on September 28 to be exact. Square Enix’s new team action RPG is developed by DeNA, a company with plenty of experience in the mobile space – you might recognise them from Pokemon Masters EX.
In typical RPG fashion, Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai: A Hero’s Bonds sees you upgrading weapons and equipment to overcome tougher challenges as the game progresses. Of course, as this is a team-based game, you control multiple characters – a team of three, as you go to battle with hordes of enemies. Each character has an individual lane, meaning you can partner with two other players and take a lane each, facing your foes together.
Oh, and if you happen to already be a fan of Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai, it might please you to hear that the title features a storyline that follows that of the original manga series. However, that’s not all, as original writer Riku Sanjo is creating an all-new story – the bonding journey – especially for A Hero’s Bonds.
