Square Enix has revived the beloved Dragon Quest Monsters series with Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, available now on mobile devices. Originally launching for Nintendo Switch in December 2023, this marks the seventh installment in the franchise. For those who remember the classic Dragon Quest IV, you'll recognize Psaro—the game's protagonist—as the infamous antagonist from that title. However, this time, players will experience the story from his perspective.
Who Is The Dark Prince?
You step into the shoes of Psaro, a young man cursed by his father, the Master of Monsterkind. This curse renders him incapable of harming any monster. Determined to break the curse, Psaro embarks on a journey to master the art of wrangling monsters. Alongside his newfound allies, he rises through the ranks to eventually claim the title of Master of Monsterkind.
Set in the enchanting world of Nadiria, the game introduces dynamic weather systems and seasonal changes that influence monster spawns and gameplay. With over 500 unique creatures to recruit, train, and combine, players can build formidable teams tailored to their strategy. From adorable critters to towering beasts, each monster brings its own strengths and quirks to the battlefield.
