Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is the reimagining of the beginning of the series The Erdrick Trilogy. While it doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it’s an enjoyable game with plenty of content and a solid story with good characters. For long time fans this is the best version of the game to play, while being a great starting point for newcomers to the series.
