Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake is a deeply satisfying follow-up to last year's remake project, closing out the Erdrick trilogy on a fittingly high note. A gorgeous art style, tons of new content and quality-of-life updates, and a wonderful soundtrack all combine to make this one an easy recommendation for any retro JRPG fans.If you're interested in RPGs, I'd suggest you pick this up at your earliest opportunity. These games stand as excellent reminders of why Dragon Quest is so highly respected today.

Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake got me to reflect on what parts of the original Dragon Quest I I found special, and it manages to elevate Dragon Quest II and turn it into one of my new favorite games in the series.

While Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake is a transformative reimagining of both games, the adjustments to Dragon Quest II are much more successful and make it an essential game in the series, while Dragon Quest I loses a lot of its magic and charm.

The end result of this package is strangely funny; two sides of a coin I never would have expected. It’s the worst time I’ve ever had with Dragon Quest 1, and the best time I’ve ever had with Dragon Quest 2.

Turning the games that defined JRPG history into experiences modern players could enjoy was a daunting task, but Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake more than meets the challenge. With thoughtful gameplay and story additions that expand on the originals without losing their classic charm, a stunning HD-2D visual overhaul, and a beautifully rearranged soundtrack, these remakes stand as the definitive way to experience the beginnings of one of the most beloved JRPG series ever made.

Two iconic games make their triumphant return in a stunning HD remake.

Dragon Quest 1 and 2 HD-2D Remake is a loving tribute to two RPG classics, but its old-school design means it will appeal more to fans than newcomers.
