25 Positive User Reviews for Dragon Quest Viii

High tension

Why was the transformation from ps2 version not ported

Controller support

Would love controller support

Great game

Needs to be converted to be able to use a backbone

Controller Support

Controller support would be amazing!

Great game

I love this game and playing on my iPad is nice but I want controller support. It would make playing a lot more enjoyable.

External Audio Support Please

It’s a testament to how good this game is and how hard-working the team maintaining it is that this gets updates still. Thank you! Support for external audio will make this a perfect port of this game and keep it alive for new players!

Controller

I would give 5 stars if you could use a controller.

Almost Perfect!

The gameplay is exactly how I expected, but the not being able to rotate the screen drives me absolutely crazy!

Awesome game falls short to ps2 version sadly

Plays ok controls are buggy and there is no choice for remote play, adding remote play would make it easier to play

Ps2 classic

Top tier OG ps2 game, great story, open world ahead of its time.

Near Perfect

Would be perfect if updated to allow external audio. Otherwise a masterpiece!

Please update and add landscape support along with controller support

This game is amazing when I played on ps2 and has a lot of potential if updated

Nostalgia imbued game

Finally I can play this game everywhere I go without having my 3ds with me all the time

Great Game, some sound issues

Having this game in your pocket is amazing. Would be even better if it got updated to let game audio and podcasts to play at the same time, like Dragon Quest 3, 5, and 6 do

Controller support plus Landscape

This game really needs controller support as well as landscape mode to make this the perfect mobile port. Will change rating if controller support and landscape mode come along in the future Square

DQVIII Mobile is serviceable

Best DQ on not the best platform, but still playable and convenient. Might be the weakest way to experience the game, but still gold overall.

Not stunning, but not charmless either

It holds its charm even without the voice acting. It doesn’t include the extra dungeons and new characters that the remake has. Most don’t like the portrait mode aspect, but I think it’s fine. I can choose to play with one hand and that personally is awesome. My only thing is that there are bugs here and there, which is why I recommend picking this up when it’s discounted or it’s your first time playing DQ8. Great for any Dragon Quest fan If you don’t mind the portrait aspect and the lack of voi

Pls add speed up

I love this game, but no denying it drags on sometimes and this is the WORST dq game when it comes to grinding. So please if you’re not gonna have overworld sprites, at least add some speed up option because dang

Add Audio

One of my favorite games but its missing the audio (people speaking) and that’s part of what i loved about this game. Add the character audio and instant 5 stars

BDE

The game designers have straight up BDE. 🔥game🔥animation🔥content

Beat it twice, spent over 120 hours playing

My favorite Dragon Quest. Well worth the money, and a wonderfully executed port.

4 Negative User Reviews for Dragon Quest Viii

An okay experience…

No voice acting and it only supports vertical play.

Fix the freezing

I love dragon quest, however the game keeps freezing whenever I want to save at the church Fix it

Missing important things.

No vocals nor ability to use a controller.

Good game lozy operation

Great game love that I can play it here and there on my phone just wish I could turn my phone sideways to play it instead of having to hold my phone upright
