Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince – A Mobile Masterpiece?
Square Enix has unleashed the latest installment in the beloved Dragon Quest Monsters series onto mobile devices: Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince. Following its December 2023 Nintendo Switch debut, this seventh entry in the franchise offers a fresh perspective on a familiar face.
Who is the Dark Prince?
Players take on the role of Psaro, a young man burdened by a curse inflicted by his father, the Master of Monsterkind. This curse prevents him from harming any monster. To break the curse, Psaro embarks on a journey to become a Monster Wrangler, teaming up with a diverse array of creatures to climb the ranks and ultimately challenge his father's authority. Fans of Dragon Quest IV will recognize Psaro as the game's antagonist, but this mobile title presents his story from a new, compelling angle.
The game unfolds in the enchanting world of Nadiria, where dynamic weather and seasonal changes significantly impact gameplay. Recruit, train, and fuse over 500 unique monsters to create powerful allies. The ever-changing weather patterns ensure a constant stream of new discoveries and a vast roster of creatures, ranging from adorable to bizarre.
