Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince – A Mobile Masterpiece?
Square Enix has resurrected the beloved Dragon Quest Monsters franchise on mobile with the release of Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince. Following its December 2023 launch on Nintendo Switch, this seventh installment in the series introduces a fresh perspective on a familiar face.
Who is the Dark Prince?
Players assume 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 lift the curse, Psaro embarks on a quest to become a Monster Wrangler, teaming up with a diverse range 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; however, this title offers a compelling look at his story from his point of view.
The game unfolds in the enchanting world of Nadiria, where dynamic weather and seasonal changes significantly impact gameplay. Players can recruit and train over 500 unique monsters, even combining them to create formidable allies. The ever-changing weather patterns ensure a constant influx of new creatures to discover, ranging from adorable critters to bizarre behemoths.
