DRAGON QUEST Smash/Grow

Great dragon quest rougelike, multiple ways to stack buffs character optimization and awesome equipment and customization. multiple events nostalgic and variety and lots of in game currency very generous with giving great rewards and not much need for spending too much great passes for rewards good events and very cool game for rpg fans try it out and focus on the stat mechanics and be patient with what the give you figure it out before you judge 😈

I really wanted to love this game. As a big fan of the Dragon Quest series and roguelites/roguelikes, this should’ve been a perfect fit. The core gameplay is genuinely fun. Runs are engaging, and it captures that “just one more run” feeling the genre is known for. That said, there are a few things holding it back right now. First, there’s no true endless mode. Instead, there’s a time-based “endless” focused on score—but you can’t even see other players’ scores. That makes it feel neither competitive nor like a proper endless run where you push your build as far as possible. For a roguelike, that feels like a big missing piece. Second, the energy system is very restrictive. Runs cost a lot of energy, and the refill rate is slow, which limits how much you can actually play. Something closer to Battle Cats—where your max energy increases and refill speed improves over time—would feel much better. Even reducing it to 2 minutes per energy would help a lot. Drony already helps by gathering useful materials like gold, memories, and upgrade parts, which is a great system. But it would be nice if there was also a very small chance for Drony expeditions to bring back gems occasionally, similar to how Battle Cats uses Gamatoto Expeditions for a chance at Cat Food. It wouldn't need to be generous-just enough to make long-term progression and saving for pulls feel a little more rewarding To be fair, the game just came out, so there’s definitely room for improvement. There’s a great foundation here, and I am enjoying it—but these systems hold it back from reaching its full potential right now. The Falcon Blade does not attack twice by default in this game. Literally took what this sword was known for and removed it. Unfathomably colossal disappointment.

Pls fix ok.

So this game is damn near everything you want .until you see one HUGE FLAW..you can’t really build you hero till 72 hours of playing the game …why lock content if I’m giving you hours of my time …you so take that how you want to its day three for me and I’m still not allowed to work on my skill tree…they really had a great thing going but figured out a way to ruin to experience

Normally I wouldn’t write a review. But I can’t even load into the game to try it. Keep getting stuck on the main page with “Now Loading”. I’m not disabling any of my security or ad blocker to play a mobile game. Never had any issue like this with any other game before. I’ll change my review if they ever fix it and if I give them another chance.

They really outdid themselves with this game. At first I was kind of shacky on the trailer for the game. The gameplay really blew me away at the development of the game! The graphics are great and the pace of the game is really smooth! I love the events the game offers too since it gives us a flash back of DQ1 at the moment it makes me excited for the rest of the events!

A great Game with upgrades, gear, weapons partners etc. I’m glad square released this one it feels like what I know a lot of fans been waiting on the fighting is Very good. I know this will help make the new console entry’s even better.

The game is fun, has all the elements of a dragon quest game, but why do I have to pay to have the good equipment. It’s as if the gems I earned has no purpose. Seems many games go this route even the trusted brands who you think should at least look out for their fan base. But apparently not.

The exact kind of survivor/rogue-lite I would be looking for if only it wasn’t a gacha game… by SE no less so they’ll probably kill it with their awful monetization. However, it is extremely fun and the multiplayer is really great. Hopefully they add more multiplayer scenarios.

Yet another game with the Paid/free split. Only 2 weeks in and there are 9 different currencies! Every upgrade costs gold + a special item. Levels are short, which makes the game progress a little faster. Though overall progress is slow.
