Featuring vibrant HD-2D graphics, new and modernized features, and a refined narrative, players are invited to set out on an epic fantasy adventure to save the world from a dark evil. Years ago, the great hero Ortega bid farewell to his wife and child as he set off on a quest to defeat the villainous Archfiend, Baramos. Ortega failed his quest, and Baramos still threatens the world. Now, on their sixteenth birthday, Ortega’s only child is summoned by the king of Aliahan and entrusted with a mission of the highest importance: to take on Ortega’s quest, vanquish Baramos, and save the world. Accompanied by a band of travelling companions chosen in the beginning of the game, players are immersed in a vast HD-2D world full of towns, dungeons, and caves, meet fascinating characters, and fight ferocious monsters in enhanced turn-based battles. Rebuilt for modern audiences, DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake gives existing fans the chance to re-experience a beloved RPG experience and its expanded offerings like never before, while also being a perfect starting point for newcomers to discover one of the most influential RPG franchises in gaming history. *Anyone who pre-orders DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake will receive a free Trouble-Free Travel Kit in the game.

All these items can also be obtained by playing through the game. Players can reclaim their bonus items by opening a treasure chest in Patty's Party Planning Place. Review: Relive the Magic - I played each of the main Dragon Quest games since the release of the original Dragon Warrior, and I've enjoyed each one. I was curious to try this one given the overall refresh of gameplay, graphics, and story. Overall I'm impressed. Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake provides an opportunity to revisit the iconic Dragon Quest III but in a modern and refreshing manner. The gameplay is smooth and fun, yet retains the subtle quirkiness of the original, such as character movements. The game is smooth, but not overly so, and therefore is reminiscent of an old school RPG. I'm only a couple hours in, but this is a great game which I look forward to playing through to completion. Besides the iconic nature of the Dragon Quest series and the general refresh, there are a number of great features. First is the frequent autosave - this allows you to play the game in smaller increments if desired, without seeking out a designated save point. Second, the customization at the beginning is also nice - this allows you to select among three difficulty levels, the most difficult, Draconian feels reminiscent of the difficulty of old school RPGs which is a great touch and offers a fresh challenge for those revisiting Dragon Quest III. Even better, this may be changed at any point throughout the adventure. Lastly, I really like the bite-sized tutorials sprinkled throughout the adventure. These are instructive, serve as useful reminders, and are seamlessly integrated within the main quest. Overall Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is a nostalgic experience for existing fans of the franchise, but is also a great jumping on point for those new to the series. It incorporates fresh features while remaining true to the original. Highly recommended. Review: A great Dragon Quest game - As a fan of the series I really enjoyed this remake. The original was good and this made it great with the accessibility features which make it easier to play. Seeing as how this is a prequel to the first game I think this is a great introduction to the series. ## Features - DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake is a stunning reimagining of the beloved masterpiece and narrative beginning to The Erdrick Trilogy – the first three games of the mainline DRAGON QUEST series.

The original was good and this made it great with the accessibility features which make it easier to play. Seeing as how this is a prequel to the first game I think this is a great introduction to the series. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A definitive Remake for all ages to enjoy! *by J***R on November 17, 2024* From the visuals and beautiful crafted art that pays respect to the original, to the quality of life in gameplay mechanics to making the experience more convenient. A new yet familiar adventure awaits! A New Character Class, additional bosses, monsters and enemies that were exclusive to the Game Boy and Super Famicom versions now mixed into this remake, plus new content additions help to shake up combat. This expands to details in combat to make it faster and to items and spells that have been rework and/or new to further the experience. To those who love turn base JRPGs and what to learn about why certain franchises are praised, this is a definite one to check out not just for the history lesson but for the simple yet fun factor as well. New System changes include: - You Now Save in Churches - Change the Difficulty Level - Story Progress and Objectives Bars - Added "Rest" Option to Inns - Equip Up to Two Accessories - Some Personalities Have Different Names - Customization For Characters is Available - Help Feature Available in Adventure Logs From new side content, more side stories and scenes to give the story a more larger context view of events. This helps in only adding to scenes while respecting the original vision in narrative. This is definitely a definitive version worth experiencing. Square Enix and Artdink have done a beautiful job in creating a modernized version for first time players while respecting and adding to the past. Which by definition, is what a remake should strive for. ## Frequently Bought Together - DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake (PS5) - Ys X: Nordics: Deluxe Edition - PlayStation 5 - Tales of Graces f Remastered PS5 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/635819979-dragon-quest-iii-hd-2d-remake-ps5](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/635819979-dragon-quest-iii-hd-2d-remake-ps5) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
