Our Expert Score

94/100

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen is an absolute masterpiece of the JRPG genre, and this mobile port is perhaps the best way to play it. The vertical orientation is surprisingly comfortable for one-handed play on the go. The story is what really makes it stand out—the 'chapter' system where you play as different characters before they all eventually meet the Hero is a brilliant way to build a world and make you care about the entire party.

From Torneko the merchant to the tomboy princess Alena, every character has a distinct personality and gameplay style. The 'party chat' feature, which was absent in some older versions, is included here and adds so much flavor to the journey. The combat is classic turn-based excellence, and the orchestrated soundtrack is just beautiful. It’s a long, epic adventure that feels perfectly at home on a phone. If you have any love for classic RPGs, this is an essential purchase.
