Flopped so Hard

[Nero]

It got more players than Concord did so it's better I guess but it's still under 1000 players on release date. I know that it's an old game and maybe not the best one of the DQM Saga but damn I wasn't expecting a player count so low.
Probably it's because they removed the online aspect of the game and they added devuno for a singeplayer campaign mode that makes no sense.
I played the original DQM Joker on my DS 14 years ago and I was quite happy to see the Saga releasing on Steam but I guess this is the first and the last spin-off that they will ever release here

Incidently the peek is up to 3,042 happening about 11 hours ago, with 1,778 right now. I guess people waited for the weekend to play (though as I type this it's Monday in Japan so....)

I'm really happy to see that, I hope they will consider making a remake/remaster of the joker ones if this DQ is really that popular compared to the others

Ofc I bought it, I like these type of games and last time I played a DQ game was 14 years ago with the first Joker
I made this post because I didn't know the reasons why it flopped but from what I read it didn't. These are the numbers that these games get so maybe a remake/remaster of the Joker series isn't out of discussion

So just making baseless accusations 1 hour into release and then back pedaling it nice.

Huh? No DQ game is getting that, let alone a spin-off game. Be serious.

maybe, just maybe that's because all of them have been lazy low budged ports so far that only got on steam as an after-thought instead of, you know, part of the main audience?

like seriously, i would've gladly gotten all the DQ games on steam, with DQM being the main attraction for me actually (since i've been hooked on that series ever since the DWM titles from the gameboy), but since all we got so far looks like it's from at least 1-2 decades ago, has gameplay etc limited to what consoles can handle, denuvo garbage slapped on it and heck, even features removed there's simply no way in hell i'd pay for that.

Or, maybe, just maybe: we aren't the main audience... at all.

The whole series has always been a thing that was most popular in Japan.
Especially the Dragon Quest >>Monsters<< games have been relegated to a rather small niche.

Besides, reaching 50k-100k concurrent players on steam is something only absolute blockbuster games manage to reach. We are talking about the 1% of the 1% of releases on the platform.

Ah yes, 1 outta 100 games released not to mention has actual marketing, this was dropped on steam and the only fanfare it got for advertisement was one newsletter email you had to be on the square enix mailing list for.

You must be new to PC gaming is that why private profile? Upgraded from mobile gaming eh? You got clash of clans? I got a pretty sick base on my bluestacks if you ever wanna vs my mobile man

Could have a playerbase of 10 and I wouldn't care. Doesn't affect my playthrough at all as it's a single player game. No playerbase required.

I have zero regrets. I'm loving it as it's exactly what I expected.

Got the game on Switch, it's definitely not something I would recommend. Very simple and basic old school game with mostly auto combat (think Dragon Quest 8 monster arena the game). Feels like a mobile game of current times honestly, and those are free with a lot more party members, not old and worn out 3D models. I got bored in the pastry hell of donuts (that's what it is). There is no incentive to continue this game. I just spoiled the story and moved on. It's not a happy ending.. (Better off buying Pokémon Arceus if you want a roaming monster catching game, because it does everything better.)

steam sales don't reflect the entire market lol more people have a console then a pc. i got it today its great and im having fun

there is no auto combat you have to give commands lol

[hopefuldeath]

There is auto-combat if you want to use it, though the decisions it makes are pretty dumb so be careful about it lol
