Dragon Quest III HD-2D Made Me Think Differently About Combat
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Preview
I’ve put several hours into Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake at this point. I’m having a lot of fun so far, but! There is one little wrinkle I can’t stop thinking about. You see, square Enix recently added an auto-battle system to this series. It turns out having a combat system so easy to automate gets you thinking about the game in a whole new way. Not a good way, but definitely a new one.

It’s been well over twenty years since I played the original Dragon Quest III. In other words, I’m utterly in the dark about how this all turns out. I’m very hopeful, at least based on what I’ve played so far. How big does this adventure get? What new features have I yet to encounter? And will there come a time when the auto-battle system is no longer viable? In spite of my struggles with certain modern mechanics, I’m having a lot of fun with Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake. I’m psyched to play the whole thing, and I suggest you keep an eye on it as well. If you’re a fan of classic Dragon Quest, I think this one just might be a winner.
