And when it comes to the soundtrack and voice acting they’re pretty solid too, though perhaps more than a little bit cheesy at times. Sometimes you catch a glimpse of the game’s PS3 roots, but the solid performance and overall charisma of what‘s laid out in front of your eyes dispel any lingering thoughts you have on the matter pretty quickly. The graphics are crisp and vibrant with PS4 Pro owners even afforded a nice resolution boost to make the visuals even more crystal clear. That doesn’t stop it from still being a hell of a lot of fun to play right from the outset though, and there are enough new bells and whistles along the way to keep things interesting for those who have played the original game to death.ĭragon Quest Heroes 2’s excellent presentation helps. It feels more like Dragon Quest Heroes 1.5 than a full-fledged sequel in most regards. You can tell within minutes of getting started in Dragon Quest Heroes 2 that Omega Force hasn’t set out to reinvent the wheel, rather just add more tread to it. With ample room for improvement however, Omega Force has followed up with a sequel, hoping to capture more of the essence that makes the franchise so beloved. 2015’s Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree’s Woe and the Blight Below, for example, adopted Omega Force’s Dynasty Warriors template to provide a high on action yet low on adventure take on the series, and luckily enough, it kinda worked. Like any wildly successful franchise though, there’s been a host of spin-offs along the way, often making a genre shift to attract a new audience and switch up the gameplay a little. With its eleventh mainline instalment due later this year, the Dragon Quest series has been enthralling RPG fans around the globe since 1986.
