Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King ROM Description

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King is a role-playing game developed by Level-5 and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo 3DS in 2004. It is the eighth main installment in the Dragon Quest series, and was the first to be released for the Nintendo 3DS.

Story

A mute hero sets off on a quest to find and destroy the evil wizard Dhoulmagus, and you will be following him. Your evil traveling companion and liege lord, King Trode, and his daughter were cursed by this jester from hell, and he continues to wreak murder, destruction, and agony wherever he goes.

The story progresses naturally, albeit there are times when it feels like you are going back a long way. You must visit this temple, but entry will be denied until you find a certain mystical relic. The relic loses its power as soon as you bring it back, forcing you to embark on yet another mission to restore it.

Gameplay

People are turned into thorns, and time stops moving across the realm after the jester Dhoulmagus puts a malicious curse on the whole kingdom. You, a lone guardsman, are the only one who has not been stricken by the plague and are thus allowed to start on an epic mission to save your king and your kingdom!

The re-release will include a number of upgrades and new content additions, some of which will be extra story scenarios that dive into the past of Dhoulmagus as well as the childhood of the protagonist. The narrative is enhanced even further with the addition of additional characters Morrie and Gerda to your group, in addition to full-fledged voice support for all of the characters.

In addition, players will discover that the world map is now filled by foes, as opposed to the old system of random combat. This results in an environment that is far more lively when the player is roaming. Dragon Quest VIII will include support for StreetPass on the 3DS, albeit the specifics of this functionality have not yet been disclosed. Despite a laundry list of enhancements, the game will not be compatible with stereoscopic 3D displays.
