Video: Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince - Gameplay Introduction

I wanna play this game so bad, I hope it comes in a physical edition because if not I’m never gonna play it. Also even if it comes physical it better run at 120 fps or I’m never gonna play it.

@Adol-Bannings Don't know if you're trolling or not but the Switch can't do 120fps.

This is gonna be SWEET, a new DQM, AND it's a prequel to DQ4, one of my favorite games ever. I'm very excited!

Pretty excited for this. I've been replaying my Dragon Warrior Monsters cart on the Pocket and having so much fun. This series jives with me in ways Pokemon never has.

@UltimateOtaku91 Not only would Switch not able to do it, 120fps isn't even a stable framerate. That's input overkill, not only does that not had input lags, it had input drag. At 120fps you're literally putting pressure on the performance and it'll not only make the game feel unstable but stutter as well for example instead of smooth wave effects in water, you get shakiness in the wave instead.

120fps…. Like… why? Is this a pixel perfect monster capture and fusion game? Instead of pixel perfect jumps, there is now pixel perfect collecting?
Aaaaaaanyway, will try the demo. 🙋‍♂️

It's seems like a light version of Shin Megami Tensei V lol.

It actually looks nice, let's see how it turns out.

I am looking forward to this

the demo was disappointing... bad performance and the overall experience felt like a low budget game... a shame :-/

Enjoyed the demo but will probably wait till 2024 to play this. I also wish SE would port DQIV to Switch to coincide with the release.

At this rate, we won’t get a DQIV port (if at all) till after DQ3 2D HD (which is taking forever ) and even longer if they decide to do DQ1 & 2 as 2D HD as well. :/

I've tried the demo during the weekend. Not sure if I will get the full game. It sure has that DQ charm, but not the polish from the main games. The performance is pretty bad for a game that is not very visually demanding (it looks kinda cheap in places). Now, gameplay is more important than graphics and it seems pretty fun in that department, but I'm not sure if the formula will hold up for a full game or if it will get repetitive after a while. So I'm undecided.

@Adol-Bannings It will get a physical release, but it will not be 120 fps, lol. It barely holds up at 30 or whatever it is.

"Unique environments!!" - Proceeds to basically show us Mario Kart levels.

Big mehh for me, but I kind of expected that already. Hope the game plays great for those who are looking forward to it.

Played the demo for a little bit and I liked it, but I'm gonna give it another go to be sure

The demo was horrible. I love the DQ series but this runs so badly it was making me sick (I get motion sickness easily). The backgrounds looked like a PS2 game even. I am not sure how they made it look and play worse than the 3DS versions but they did. I'll wait for a PC version and hopefully it will run better. Zero excuse as the Switch has better looking and better running games.

I just wish they would have spend more money on this game... it looks as rough as the pokemon games... what a pity

Caught this video on my YT feed yesterday. I keep forgetting the demo has been available for a little while. I've always wanted to jump into the DQ Monsters spinoff series, so this game might be my best bet.

Just please don't be as sloppy as Adventure of Dai....

I have played the demo. I simultaneously loved and was disappointed in the demo. The game looks like a mid-2000s game. But the gameplay was all the fun a Dragon Warrior Monsters game.

I hope the demo was just the alpha version of the game because man it looked janky. Like PS2 level graphics. I'm assuming Square put this one with a lower budget but still, it's part of the biggest video game franchise in Japan, you would think all of their games would be top notch quality. I just got into the monster spinoffs and I highly recommend DQ Monsters: Terry's Wonderland 3D. It's fantastic and a remake of the original Monsters game. If you have a modded 3DS or emulator of some kind, get the English patched version. It never came to the west but a group of fans did an awesome job at translating it

A demo for infinity would be nice as I’m more tempted to play that than this?

Sold treasures casue it was to kiddy... and sold 11 because the music was horrible... i dont see any reason to buy this game.

On the one hand, I loved playing and beating DQM 1 and 2 on the DS, so I'm excited to see where this franchise goes and I'm very happy it's not dead.

On the other hand, this game is releasing with some blatantly expensive day 1 DLC that either adds some challenge or completely ruins the base game's difficulty.

This is a wait and see for me, not gonna impulse buy this one.

I, am very disappointed in this community’s grasp on sarcasm, very disappointed.
