Dragon Quest Treasures review - A fun, addictive treasure-hunting experience

sportskeeda.com:

Dragon Quest Treasures is a game I’ve waited for almost this entire year. Dragon Quest XI is one of my favorite titles in the Dragon Quest series. To see a prequel based on Erik left me filled with excitement. This offering reminds me a great deal of Dragon Quest Monsters, while also combined with a treasure-hunting experience.

But does one overpower the other? Or do they merge seamlessly? This is easily one of my favorite games of the year, even if I’ve only played it for about a week now. With so many treasures to find and adventures to get up to, every play session has felt different.

Is Dragon Quest Treasures worth your time and money? Go on this journey with me, and you’ll find out!

Thanks to storyline shenanigans in Dragon Quest Treasures, Erik and Mia get swept up through a portal and are now on a series of floating islands, known as Draconia.

There’s an abundance of treasure lying in wait here, and the two siblings want to rake in as much of it as possible. As a pair of poor serfs working under the Vikings of Erdrea, this is their chance to make like bandits and live on their own.

Anyone who has played Dragon Quest XI knows their story, but I’ll keep that under wraps. Treasure and wealth mean a great deal in this JRPG. They’re also looking for a series of powerful artifacts while contending with other treasure hunters. There are plenty of rival gangs out there, trying to take what’s yours.

Erik, Mia, alongside their talking/flying pig and cat friends, will build a gang of comically named monsters, and gain as much treasure as possible. The gameplay loop is pretty simple. You need to gather as much treasure as possible to increase your gang level.
