Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King Playstation 2
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King for PS2
Square-Enix’s DRAGON QUEST series (known as DRAGON WARRIOR in the US) has been one of the largest RPG series of all time, and now, with DRAGON QUEST VIII: JOURNEY OF THE CURSED KING for the PS2, the series goes fully 3-dimensional. The game’s storyline revolves around a nameless palace guard who is the only survivor of an attack on the castle by the evil mage Dhoulmagus. The mage turned the king into a frog and the princess into a horse. Now, it’s up to the guard, his friend Yangus, the two royals-turned-animals, and several other companions to stop Dhoulmagus and restore the kingdom. Players will eventually have a group of four characters to control in battle. The fights are turn-based and occur randomly, just like in previous DRAGON QUEST games. In addition to the standard attacks and magic spells, characters also have abilities they can use. These abilities are gained by purchasing them with skill points. By increasing a character’s ability with the sword, for example, that character will learn new sword attacks and inflict more damage. Each character also has unique abilities that only he or she can learn. Players will have to quickly learn to make use of these abilities, because it’s not unusual for groups of eight or more monsters to attack at once. RPG fans know that the DRAGON QUEST
name means a great adventure with plenty of extras to keep them playing for hours, and DRAGON QUEST VIII: JOURNEY OF THE CURSED KING delivers.
