A very forgiving journey

Dragon Quest Reimagined is a remake of the PS1 original with many QOL improvements unfortunately most to the games detriment. First backtracking is much much better and more condensed making it way less of a pain to progress through the main story, also i enjoyed the expanded Kiether storyline.

However the game is far far too easy. Grinding vocations is a joke since you can go back to previous low level areas and defeat enemies out of battle to unlock the hero class for all the party members especially with the new moonlighting system with will always allow broken builds. Save statues restore you HP and MP making inns and churches a waste of time.

If the game provided more of a challenge this would be a 4.5 or 5 star game but it has to settle for a 3.
