■DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake

DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake uses the acclaimed HD-2D style, which blends beautifully rendered and dynamic 3D backgrounds with classic 2D pixel sprites. This approach retains the spirit of the classic DRAGON QUEST III, and provided the creative opportunity to make it more accessible and appealing, with more detailed lighting and shading effects, a more visually spectacular world to roam, and beautifully rendered monsters.

◆STORY
Years ago, the great hero Ortega bid farewell to his wife and child on a quest to defeat the villainous Archfiend Baramos. Ortega failed his quest, and Baramos still threatens the world. Now, on their sixteenth birthday, Ortega’s only child is summoned by the king of Aliahan and entrusted with a mission of the highest import: to take on Ortega’s quest, vanquish Baramos, and save the world.
