Dragon Quest Treasures Review (Geoff)
I'm gonna start off this review by saying I don't give a shit about the DQ series outside of respecting it for being a legacy series. I hate turn based combat so I could never get into them. However, if you, like me, have a loot goblin brain, then you will definitely enjoy this game. Collecting treasures and seeing your funny gold numbers go up is super fun. The game does get stale rather quickly, but if you just wanna play a bit here and there for the loot then it's a great time.
Combat is still trash (though I prefer it to a turn based style) and you have very few options open to you. Your attacks are stiff and feel unnatural. The slingshot is the only viable method of attack. I really enjoy recruiting monsters and getting medals and hoping for the rainbow rarity, but getting it for medals is really hard, and getting it for monsters means it'll take you hours of grinding to find the materials you need to recruit them.
I think that the game would be a lot more fun if you could attack with your monsters manually in battle kinda like Spectrobes. But implemented better. I'm around level 37 I think right now and I still do jack shit for damage with the dagger, so maybe having some sort of upgrade system for that would be nice. Also removing the material grinding aspect would be ideal since it's already grindy just to get monsters to the recruit station. Anyhow, if you just play the game for the loot elements then it doesn't matter too much.
