Excellent port!. This is another in a great line of ports from the Nintendo DS to IOS. I hope that Square Enix continues this trend, and ports over Dragon Quest 7! It's one of the best I've played, and unfortunately my PS2 won't play my PSX disc. :-( One slight issue is the cloud save doesn't work from IPhone to IPad. I was playing on my phone because it was easier, but now I can't transfer it back to my iPad.

Finally.. Best game of the series.

Cloud save is a joke. It only works rarely. Ugh!

Great Fun, but constant game crash freeze. The game is terrific. Hours and hours of fun just like all the other 5 games up to this one. The problem is this is the first one that crashes on my iPhone. Saving, resting, alltrades Abby and other plot developing areas have caused crashes. Really frustrating. Please fix!!!

SNES Rom translation?. Ok Square. I pay full price for your games when they come out. I hope you didn't take the hack translation from the SNES rom and apply it to this game. The English is terrible. At $15, I expect good fluid, sensibly translated games like I had on my SNES as a kid. I'm happy this game is out, but seriously fire your translator. "The enemy attack." Subject verb agreement is horrible and makes it seem like a hack game. If that terrible Kate Upton F2P garbage can be in proper English, so can the Square Enix major releases that I have purchased from Squaresoft and Enix for almost 30 years. Step it up! I'm happy to pay, I just want value!

ICloud save issues. It won’t download iCloud saves to my new iPhone. Says connection failure.

iCloud save failed. I can’t play the game on multiple iOS devices because of this issue. Running on iOS 15.2. Please fix it

Good game. Good game, controls are the same as DQ5, storyline is good, quite worth my money and time.

The worst dragon quest. Everything this game adds to DQ 5 is to the detriment of the experience. A bloated overly difficult mess.

Great port. Almost exactly the same as the DS version. My only complaints so far is that the lack of top screen view made it extremely hard to follow Rod in Pescado, and my Dream Scapes aren't showing up at Suite Dreams. Other than that I haven't seen anything else I don't like.

Too Big For One World!!!!!. There are only a small handful of games that I have played in the past (a very small handful) that are as encompassing and downright GIGANTIC as the almighty Dragon Quest 6! It is with a heavy heart that I am writing this review today, not only just because I just beat the game and as always the feelings and emotions I've endured through this, believe it or not, 70+ hour main story are still very fresh in my mind, but rather it's the sad realization that with only Dragon Quest 8 remaining, my initial journey will soon be at an end. But let's not dwell on that for the time being and lets instead dwell on the majestic majesty that is Dragon Quest 6! As I've mentioned before, this game is S-T-U-P-I-D HUGE, with a main campaign of around 70 hours, and perhaps around 60 hours if you absolutely rush through it, and would be very surprised to see it finished in an even shorter time than that. I of course have been playing all of the games in the Dragon Quest series in order so the last one I've played was obviously DQ5, so it goes without saying that my expectations for going into DQ6 where insanely high, and yes big shocker...Dragon Quest 6 completely shattered those expectations in nearly every conceivable way. First off I would like to talk about the story for a little bit. Dragon Quest 6 without a doubt has the most complex and even confusing at times storyline to date. With a game spanning over multiple different realms and worlds, the main two of which are the real world and the dream world, and it is within these two realms where the games robust yet still graspable story unfold. With a plethora of different quests to undertake in both realms, the scope of different things to happen in the game when you complete a certain quest in a certain town in one word, and have its corresponding town in the other world be affected accordingly, the massively creative interweaving storyline really start to have an impact. Now I'll admit, while I didn't find Dragon Quest 6's initial story to be quite as intimate and heart wrenchingly beautiful as DQ5, it MORE than made up for that with its viscerally engaging complexity and larger than life size. Have I mentioned yet how friggn' huge this game is yet? Oh I have? Oh well I guess I'll just have to say it again...THIS GAME IS FRIGGN' HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!!! As I stated before it was over seventy hours of playtime before I saw the credits roll, as opposed to DQ5 which was only around 50 hours. And believe it or not there is still a TON of stuff left to do including the bonus dungeon behind Alltrades Abbey, which brings me to my next subject. Yes that's right Alltrades Abbey returns in this game with a much larger variety of job classes and possibilities than was previously available in Dragon Quest 3. First of, unlike in DQ3, your stats aren't cut in halve and you don't return to level one every time you choose to change someone's vocation, and along with DQ3's very small array of jobs to choose from, I only made use of the abbey one single time throughput the entire length of the game, whereas in Dragon Quest 6, with the more than double the amount of different jobs to choose from than in 3, and without your party members level being reduced back down to one and their stats halved, I've made use of Alltrades Abbey this time around dozens of different times withe each and every character. The job class system this time around is more reminiscent of the job class system if Final Fantasy 5, where you can master each individual job class to learn each job's vast assortment of of different abilities, which add up and can be used no matter if you decide to change job classes. The more jobs you master, the more spells and abilities you can learn, and let me tell you, it adds up fast! There are so many Friggn' different spells and abilities in this game it's unreal!! I mean this has got to be without a doubt the largest assortment of spells and abilities I have ever seen, for this game to have originally hailed from the early 90s makes it that much more mind blowing and incredible. I thought that the monster recruitment aspect of DQ5 gave birth to a wide array of different playable tactics and techniques, but it is absolutely nothing compared to Dragon Quest 6 my friends. There are so many things going for this game that it would be nearly impossible to adequately describe them all, and the story is too complex to describe without spoiling, I never thought I would play an RPG of this magnitude for as long as I would live. And while I couldn't help myself to compare it to the various ins and outs of DQ5, like the tearjerking moments in 5, and the much larger casino scene it had as well, and probably the one thing that bothered me was the lack of day and night cycles. I don't understand why they'd omit them in this game considering that 3,4,5 and even DQ8 feature day and night cycling. I suppose they makers of the game thought that it would simply be too much, and I would have to agree. All things considered, there was never a dull moment in DQ6 as well in the way of side stuff and mini games. Even though there were only a few small underground casinos in 6, there were other wonderfully entertaining and engaging things like Slimopolis!!! Which is kinda like the monster arena in previous games only you can use your own slime that you can recruit later in the game, and with the Alltrades Abbey, yes even your monsters can get a taste of the vocational action and be available to the same wide assortment of spells and abilities as their human counterparts, which makes the Slimopolis arena so much more interesting an exciting than the stuffy ol' monster arena. I mentioned earlier in the review that I was sad that my initial Dragon Quest experience was coming to a close, and while that may be true, I will not ever soon forget the absolutely unbelievable and life altering journey I have embarked on with this wonderful series!Final stop...DQ8!!!!!!!!!

no japanese?. am i missing it or is there any language setting for this? makes no sense not to contain japanese. personally not a fan of this localization although i can say it's objectively flawless. more like which flavor do i like kind of thing.

Good, but still has a few bugs.... I'm a completionist, so I just finished putting in close to seventy hours on the game. As a longtime DQ lover, this lives up to the name and expected interface (unlike DQ 8, which I am *still* cranky about) and the story is intriguing and many-layered as well. Very nice balance of story and game time, and a player could definitely make it through without excessive grinding. Those things which take it down to four stars are entirely related to the bugs: Suite Dreams is a disappointment with only two screens and hardly worth the trouble of collecting all sixteen, unless you want to complete the slime collection with a metal babble. The guy in the church does not keep accurate count of the number of dreams you have collected, which can be irksome. Then there is the fact that one cannot quick save in Mortamor's castle, which is problematic when the function of playing on a phone means that interruptions may be frequent, and losing a chunk of game time because the app decided to restart when you had to switch screens is more than a bit annoying. Finally, in the after game real world Weaver's Peak, the hero is unable to move... Effectively meaning you cannot see the remainder of the post-game *or* unlock any of the post-game content. All of that aside, it is an excellent game with definite replay value.

Support Chinese. I wish all the series DQ game could support traditional Chinese!Really love it!

How to use examine function?. Stuck because there is no option to examine. How am I supposed to examine?

Lots of content. This game is well worth the $15. If you like boss battles this should be your favorite DQ- there are SO MANY (not a bad thing of course). After beating what appears to be the main villain, you're really only about 1/10th into the story. The characters, major and minor, are very entertaining, and the difficulty level is appropriate. They did a great job with this one.

Great Game. I remember playing this when I was younger. Dozens of hours of entertainment is definitely worth the $15.

This game is amazing for any jrpg fans. If you haven't played play lots to explore and do tons of bosses and multiple worlds to explore!

Awful on iPad. It should not list the iPad as a compatible device for this game. Sure, it works, but it is portrait only and simply blown up for the screen. It is so pixelated it hurts my eyes and is unplayable.

Dq6!. My 2nd favorite Dragon Quest after 7. Cannot go wrong with this one people. It has job classes and monster classes. The abilities are learned by how many battles you fight and are earned for the class chosen. If you are an RPG fan get this game!!!

Exceptional. This port is amazing. It is better in almost every aspect from the DS remake, and the cloud save feature ensures that you will be able to take your game save data with you even if you get a new phone or tablet.

At last!. The Dragon Quest game from the golden age of JRPGs is here! This is probably the most accessible DQ because of the fast moving story and scope of the adventure. It isn't as unique as DQ4 or 5, and you don't get to make a party like in DQ3, but the class system is here and quite fun. Like all of the series, you will grind a lot, but that is part of the appeal. If you enjoy older Final Fantasy games, then this is probably the one most similar to them. Highly recommended!

Classic. Other than balance issues (the battles are either incredibly hard or incredibly easy), great game-- looking forward to a mobile DQ7.............

delete! frustration.... delete button placed in the wrong spot when u cloud save ended up hitting it on accident instead of cloud save and no more game :( plz move it. otherwise great game!! love the bazzar system and style points and even the gambling coins

NO CONTROLLER SUPPORT?!?!?!. PLEEEEEASE add controller support for all the dragon quest games. I bought them all hoping to play on Apple TV with a controller, and then found out, after purchase that these games don’t support controllers? Cmon Square, all the FF games support controllers.....

No examine function. You'll get stuck an hour or so in because the examine function wasn't included in the transition from of. For $15 I expected a better job!

Awesome, but M1 Mac support, please?. I own all the iOS Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy games. When I got my new M1 Mac Mini, I was so excited to try these games on it, only to find out that I cannot download them on Mac. Square Enix, please update your library of great games to run on M1 Macs! It would add so much value, especially for these full-length RPGs.

AMAZING GAMEPLAY AND STORY. I been playing DQ since I saw the announcement for XI S for the switch. Before it came out I play and bought 1,2, & 3 from the App Store. Now, that I have become such a big fan . I just finished playing 4-6. You guys have to try and push for number 7 and 9 to be release on the IOS...

Horrible save system ruins game. Like every SE game on the app store it seems, the system used for saving your progress causes you to constantly lose your progress and you are forced to play the same 15-20 minute chunks of the game over and over.. avoid until they fix this

Best $15 Ever Spent. The only Dragon Quest games I had played before were 8 and 9; even on a small screen this one tops them both.

A Little Buggy. Good port, although the Suite Dreams portion of the game seems broken, in that when you find a dream, the NPC that counts the number of dreams will tell you you haven't found any. Not game breaking, but can irk completionists.

New favorite!. Love the Dragon Quest series, love the mobile ports, so great and convenient to be able to play DQ anywhere on my mobile phone.

Dragon Quest VI Chock full of Awesome!!!. As a seasoned Dragon Quest Player this dragon quest reboot on the iOS is definitely an amazing feat for Dragon Quest fans to enjoy.

The game runs but with no sound :/. Big fan of the games but with the iPhone 12 Pro Max the game has no audio no matter what I do

Buggy. The game freezes up periodically after resurrecting a character in the church and winning at slots.

Finally! My favorite in the series!. DQ6 often gets over-looked, but its a fantastic game and my personal favorite entry. What really makes DQ6 stand out is the characters. It's such a rich and memorable cast! Truly one of the best in the series. You don't have blank slates here, each character in your party has their own story (classes are adjusted later on). Some you can even miss the chance to add to your party! They might be cliches, but they aren't annoying or distasteful. The story moves along at a good pace (at least towards the beginning). It's also solid port with difficulty turned slightly down, moving things along even faster. Works well on my iPhone6, letting me go in and out of the app, or will auto save if I use another intensive app. UI and menu system is clunky, but makes little difference for a turn-based rpg.

The wait is over!!!. I've waited literally about 18 years to play this game again, I haven't played it since the Super Nintendo emulator days back in high school and now it's here. This game is what set the bar for the class system, this and dragon quest 7 r the best in the entire series even better than 8 and 9. I would have paid 30 dollars for this game!!!

Collecting Scattered Dreams. I collected 3 scattered dreams and the npc is telling me I haven’t collected a single one! Seems like a bug to me. Good game but I can’t progress this part of the game!

Buggy. Quick saves randomly to never work even if you manually save it, so don't even bother.

Great Port - Please Localize DQVII. Great port. Would love to see DQ VII localized for mobile. I carry my phone around everywhere, not a 3DS. Thanks!

So awesome. Played through all iOS Dragon Quests, and this came up as my fav. In fact, it's the best jrpg for iOS, hands down, in my opinion. Great customizability with job classes. Tons of content, plus awesome postgame dungeon. Hoping to see DQ7 follow soon on iOS

Dragon Quest 7 please!. Completely biased review but this game is fantastic! I’ve loved the series for a long time. I want to own 7 on iPad as well, so here’s hoping someone out there can make it happen!

Nice port, but will be nicer if all the figures are redesigned. It is a nice port for my favorite game in the series to the iOS platform , I see there are quite a lot of improvements in the graphic however the figures are Not redesigned and left untouched at the nds quality, on iPhone 6plus it is heavily pixelated .

Where’s Dragon Quest 7?. This is one of the greatest games you can own on your iPhone. DQ 4-6 are a trilogy and look and play exactly the same, so you should get all 3. There is only 1 problem with Dragon Quest 6 and it’s that the game never tells you what to do next. Add in the fact that you have to constantly switch between 2 different worlds at all times, and it makes it even more confusing. Most of the time the game gives you zero idea of where to go and expects you to wander everywhere, groping around for your next objective. Using a guide is a must. I love the game so much that I created my own personal guide, but a casual fan will be turned off by the lack of any clear objectives. The game literally tells you nothing most of the time. Still a near-perfect game, Dragon Quest 4-6 are must-owns.

Boat bug and bad cloud support cost me hours.. The game is really fun, classic Dragon Quest. But once I got on the boat, I couldn't get off again without Zooming. I tried to save my 14 hours of progress to the cloud, uninstall and reinstall, but when I got back the cloud only restored me to a save point 7 hours in. I can't really cover that ground again.

Good game until dread realm. Classic game, lots of time to be spent grinding however I used this time to explore the entire map in dream realm and real world realm. Eventually got Pegasus and was the point to go to the dread realm to fight mortamor. However, once in dread realm, all the skills you’ve been building up, and magic gets taken away and you are basically defenseless. I get killed 9/10 times when going from town to town, and then resurrecting everyone costs too much and eventually you won’t have funds to do it, game over. Was really fun until dread realm.

DQ VI GREAT! Where’s Dragon Quest VII????. All the other DQ games are here except DQ VII Forgotten Realms with all the islands and Demon King quest!!!!!! C’mon Square Soft / ENIX let’s port that great one onto the IPad/IPhone systems please??? ***Otherwise ya buy a NINTENDO 3DS to get DQ VII there which is ridiculous!

Own DQ 1-6 the iOS - all great. I beat dragon quest 1 way back in the day, but was more of a FF fanboy growing up. I saw the iOS versions of Dragon's Quest and started to really enjoy the series. I've had nothing but good times with these games and really want to see DQ7 available on iOS. Any RPG fan needs to play these games

Support this so we get DQVII!. First, a response to someone complaining about the translation. It isn't meant to be natural, contemporary English. It's translated with a more old English vibe. There's nothing wrong with the subject/verb arrangement, and no, they didn't steal the translation from a fanhack (?). It was a stylistic choice, like it or not. The writing itself is charming and shines through the translation, which had a heck of a lot of work put into it. This is one of the most overlooked Dragon Quests. When it first came out on Super Famicom, the graphics blew everyone away. Coming out on the DS in English, however, and looking the same as DQ IV and V, it got overshadowed a little, and Nintendo didn't advertise it like they should have. What we have is one of the best kept secrets of the series, and it shouldn't be a secret. The storyline is a blast, closer to Chrono Trigger than to DQV. This game doesn't need to lean on graphics to succeed. It's charming, as well-designed as ever, and a blast. The iOS version is like joining up the two DS screens and taking out the gap, and upgrading the resolution. It looks and sounds great on iPhone and iPad, and you can play it one-handed on your phone. It is uniquely suited to portrait mode due to being played that way on the DS (just on two separated screens instead of one joined screen). It's a little weird playing with touchscreen controls, but again, you can play one-handed!

Where’s dragon quest 7?. Dragon Quest VI is a fantastic game. Every bit as good as IV and V. All 3 are DS ports and look and play fantastic on mobile. I’m so glad we got these at a reasonable price and only hope that we can get our hands on 7, 9, and 11 (2D Mode) on mobile. Square Enix make it happen.

Wonderful. This is how it's done square enix..one of the best jrpgs ever made now on my phone.

Still a great game. Not the best DQ game in terms of story, but it’s still a rock solid game like any other DQ game. The mobile port is excellent, however the UI is no longer located at the very bottom of the screen, which is very annoying. The bottom part of the battle menu blocks some of the beautiful artwork of the monster background, while the general map UI separates a small section of the bottom background from the rest. This issue is also present in the other DQ games. I’m playing on an iPhone SE (2020) for reference. Also, I don’t have any font rendering issues at all unlike the previous reviewer.

Good stuff. Worth every cent just like any Dragon Quest game. The only bad parts are that the saving is not very good, mostly manual, and the menus/fonts are pretty lacklustre and tough to read.

A SNES RPG masterpiece reborn... Again!. This time on the phones & tablets it's highly addicting with its smooth framerate, music and gameplay. Story may be the weakest out of the Zenithrian Trilogy, but the rest makes up for it.

Bad update. Skip installing version 1.1.0 - it completely screws up the game's font rendering. DQ 4 & 5's equivalent updates seem to be unaffected by this issue, so it should be safe to install the respective patches for those games.

Great game annoying controll's. Great game but controlls are kinda annoying but the gameplay is great i suggest this to all user's who like the Dragon Quest Series

Where’s Dragon Quest VII?. Please give us Dragon Quest VII!

Got them a!!. 👍👍🏾👍🏿. Keep 'em coming. 😁

Amazing. I bought all the dragon quests games released for iOS. I must say the series is amazing really liked 3 and enjoying 6 for the class system. But enjoyed 4 and 5 for their great stories as well. Dragon quest 1 and 2 were more for nostalgia but I enjoyed them as well. The series really picked up on 3 and onwards. Looking forward to dragon quest 7 and 9

I cloud doesn’t work. Why can’t i download my saved data i was half through the game pisses me off

Amazing game and old memories. When I first heard square was making iOS versions of most of the dragon quest series, or as I recall,them dragon warrior series for the NES 8 bit system I was elated purchased all of them as well as the final fantasy series games for iPad seeing as version six was one I never played previously I am so far impressed immensely with it, and brought back a lot of old memories of late night all weekend gaming sessions, I HIGHLY recommend everyone who has ever played one of these games to get one, price is decent in my opinion based on content and enjoyment. Top marks!great job Square you rock. As for the person who complains about the control I agree the directional slider can use a bit of tweaking but really it's a very minor issue and not noticeable to me anymore.

Dragon quest 😍. I have to say so far all the app version of dragon quest games are spot on for controls and entertainment. Thank you Square Enix ☺️

Great game !. Lots of fun to play. Easy controls, only gripe is that you cannot play it with the phone in landscape mode. Be warned, this game is no sit down and beat in an afternoon. Currently 40hrs + into the game with lots more to go.

Great game great series. I got em all on every system as well. Amazing games. If u like the other dragon quest/warrior games or final fantasy games, then these games are for you :) you won't be disappointed.
