Absolutly a crapiest DQ Game ever

[XiNaaru]

So I'm sorry to say...
1. I can NOT recommend anyone to buy the game.

2. for people who do NOT know the anime..MIGHT be something good but...but not really


For people like me who know the associated anime, the game is absolute garbage.
It's just a simple replay of the story you already know, and the majority of missions seem to consist of getting the story "told". they really got the WORST out of the game this time, and that's with a very well-known and otherwise GOOD series like dragon quest. i'm really disappointed in the game.

How are you playing it? I have to wait another 6 hours to download it.

I'm a big fan of the anime so I'll give it a shot. I do wish they focused more on exploration and world building than retelling the story. Most people who are going to buy this game are most likely going to be fans of the anime and have already watched it.

But that's exactly the crux of the matter.
I LOVE the anime, it's damn good. I have also watched the anime in its entirety. but a game that just retells a familiar story, especially with a franchise like dq, that's just awful.

It's not just what I said, the combat system is also rather...well. they should have stuck with turn based rather than that.

But they said that it's a game that has the same story as the anime bro, why u complaining, it was never a secret

having the same story is one thing. but the way you tell it in the game is absolute garbage.
besides, there are people who don't let themselves be spoiled by any text in the beginning.

Well, from his words of "SIMPLE replay" I would guess that he probably hoped that some liberties were added like other anime games to give new experience/scenes/subplots.

I mean, if you look at some naruto games it tells the same stories but there's a lot of side content that makes it still worth investing in.

Sadly it looks like I will have to skip it. Bad combat, 13h to finish...too bad.

"As for the battle system itself, Infinity Strash simply just doesn’t feel good to play. It’s rudimentary, stiff, and clumsily executed."

"Regardless, I wouldn’t say that Infinity Strash is infinitely trash… but sometimes I got real tempted to."

"I finished the main story and hit the credits in 13 hours. Admittedly, I fast-forwarded and skipped the vast majority of vignettes because I already knew the events of the show. I didn’t do much grinding either aside from completing the repeatable free quests once as each of them unlocked."

So they skipped cutscenes and mostly rushed the main story. So most people it'll take a lot longer.

In terms of just replaying content you've already seen, that's been my complaint with "based on the anime" games in general. Even the One Piece games where they're like "AN ORIGINAL STORY BE EIICHIRO ODA" are just retelling the anime with a few "You must journey into your memories" sequences with a new character that's basically the same new character in each game.

I've always thought it'd be cool if they genuinely made an original story for anime games. While I get that cross-media is always a gamble since you segment your market, I feel like with anime at least the demographic that will watch your show/read your manga/play your video game is almost certainly guaranteed to have a near complete crossover.

If you pull the masks off the devs' face, they're probably Final Fantasy devs in disguise.

There's no other way to explain these terrible gameplay and designs.

so, pretty much like the majority of Dragonball games released?

doesn't sound bad after Kakarot...

But didn't kakarot add a lot of meat to the original story....like side quests of krillin and #18 dating.

Also it has some extent of exploring......which is weird that a once traditional "east to west" fighting game franchise now provides, but a game from a traditional jrpg franchise now doesn't.

The game is already fun. Feel free to leave your review, but you don't speak for everyone.

yeah

still, DQ Dai is not one of those franchises that I think needs made-up stuff for a game, I felt that dragged out quite a bit in the now canceled mobile game (though, it had great looks when I played it)

the thing that stings for me is not having the full story of the now finished anime in the game...specially after I lived the cut/canceled old anime in my school days
