Dragon Quest Ii

With update to iOS 14, the game freezes often on my iPhone 6S Plus. Freezes last for 2-3 seconds, but they happen several times per minute, which really takes away from the enjoyment. Without the freezes, the game would easily get 5 stars from me. Last update was 2 years ago. I wish SE would update this again to work well with the updated iOS.

The grind is a bit real on this one. The monster encounter rate definitely higher than I recall, plus you must grind levels on about three to four different occasions. After getting all the end game gear and leveling all three characters to 46 the last boss was easy. Played on a iPad, controls were good since you can move by touching any part of the screen. Translation was a bit mediocre. Overall a good experience. I guesstimate about 35 hours to complete the game. Tips: get the falcon blade (

This game is great if you're a 2D rpg fan. I only have one pet peeve about this game, which is the language the game is using or tried to use. I understand the game takes place in a setting of a medieval type of era, but could they at least have the text be in the modern English language? Seriously, I had to analyze each sentence to understand and look for clues of what to do.

I have tried three times (at least) since the late 80s to beat this game. The original NES one was a little too hard for me at 9. My second try was on a flash Cart and I there was a save issue so I gave up. Shame on me for not staggering the 3 save slots… ;) I am so glad I saw this through on my iPad Pro. What a Great gaming experience. It was just about perfect related to the little fixes and QoL features. This version challenges the idea that DQ2 was the black sheep of the series. Cheers
