THE GOOD:- More of the battling, breeding and exploring that fans of the series have grown to love.
- Has an overall surprising uniqueness to it.
- Interesting new Caravan and Reforming systems for a fresh new spin on strategy.
- Heaps of human party members to recruit to fight alongside your monsters.
- Pleasant and effective graphics.
- One of the first Dragon Quest Monsters games to actually contain a plot (though not an especially complex one).
- Has aged very well both graphically and gameplay-wise.
THE BAD:
- Never released outside of Japan and so very difficult to play and enjoy without any knowledge of Japanese or an English fan translation.
- The rations system heavily constricts gameplay early on in the game and may alienate less persistent players.
- Dialogue is awkward and confusing in places.
- The rate at which enemy difficulty rises is sporadic and jumpy instead of a smooth and stable progression.
- Somewhat lacking on the content side of things.
SUMMARY:
Another successful combina...
