What is Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake?
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is a brand-new version of a classic RPG that first released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1988. It’s a faithful remake that, despite the significant graphical revamp and refined narrative elements, doesn’t stray too far from the source material.
The first three Dragon Quest games represent the Erdrick Trilogy. This third installment was actually a prequel, so it tells the beginning of the adventure. Basically, you play as the 16-year-old child of a hero named Ortega, who was sent to defeat the villainous Baramos. Ortega failed, so the king sends you and a group of companions to finish the job. In addition to this game, Dragon Quest 1 and 2 HD-2D upgrades are set to release in 2025.
