Rate top gamesThere's something very peaceful about wandering the world of the first Dragon Quest. A couple of simple spells and items is all you need to worry about during combat, making it a very laidback experience. It's a fun adventure, though i would recommend the SNES remake and a walkthrough to ease its jagged 1986 edges. 7/10

Arguably the first “true” JRPG, Dragon Quest is still enjoyable 30 years later. Anyone remotely familiar with the turn based template wouldn’t have a problem following along, and unlike other early era RPGs like Phantasy Star and Breath of Fire, jo guide is necessary to try and make it through Dragon Quest. The only guide is GRIND. Almost all battles are brute strength, and if you put in the grind time, you won’t have any problem beating this one.
