Dragon Quest Heroes is an action RPG take on the long-running Dragon Quest/Warrior RPG series. A spiritual successor to Omega Force's last (and quite obscure, it seems, considering so few people ever mention it in reviews for this game) action RPG, "Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll" for Playstation 3. A game that was solid and fun, but painfully lacking in the personality department. Well, that's quickly remedied by adapting it's design to Dragon Quest here, and then improving upon it further with more intense combat a la Dynasty Warriors (but much, MUCH better) and new, original elements all it's own! The game flow is built around a central hub that acts as a small town, with shops and people to talk to - it's here where you'll accept missions and sidequests and pore over a World Map (like any good RPG!). If you've played a title like Phantasy Star Online, Monster Hunter or Toukiden Kiwami, you'll be quite familiar with this setup. Once you assemble your party and your gear, and accept your mission, it's off to that level to do combat with scores of enemies ripped straight from the main RPG series!
And the combat is indeed the core of the game - good thing it's so well done! On a base level it resembles Dynasty Warriors as you charge into battle with 3 other party members against waves of faceless, easy bad guys. Add in special moves for your characters - and yes, like any good RPG, there is a skill tree with dozens and dozens of abilities and new moves/spells to add to your repetoire! - and the fact that everyone plays noticeably different with differing styles in the first place (REALLY helps cut down on repetition), and we're starting in a much better place than Dynasty Warriors already! The enemy types - owing largely to Dragon Quest as a series - are varied as well, so unlike fighting the faceless, identical goons of a normal Warriors title, the variety here keeps thing far more interesting as the game continually throws new monsters at you that provide a new challenge. There are also massive boss battles, stage specific gimmicks like Lava and Ballistas (Turrets/Cannons), and the Monster Medal system and the game's combat is well ahead of the dreadful monotony of standard Warriors games - and even better than Hyrule Warriors! The Friendly AI on your party is also MASSIVELY improved versus those games too - you'll definitely see your guys fighting well, keeping alive, and helping you out regularly. Such a welcome improvement!
What is the Monster Medal system? When you're slashing through foes and knocking enemies out left and right, they drop items like Health and Magic potions, but also occasionally they'll drop a medal with their face on them. Pick it up and it'll be slotted into an inventory on the bottom of the screen that can be navigated with the Dpad (up to activate, down to get rid of, left and right). Once you activate them, that enemy unit will show up to fight for you or deliver a devastating attack. So in addition to just killing everyone, this opens up some simple strategic elements, since you'll be able to create bottlenecks for enemy forces by dropping monsters in good places and then going off and taking care of business elsewhere on the map. It's quite satisfying! A great new wrinkle to brawlers in general!
All of this combines to really, really make the combat enjoyable, and the game design one of the most interesting Koei Tecmo has ever pumped out! It all launches DQH WELL AHEAD of any other Warriors game, or most other "dumb action" brawlers in general. Better than stuff like Transformers Devastation easily, for example. It's no DMC or Bayonetta, of course, but as far as dumber brawlers go, this is front of the pack. So entertaining!
The story is simple, but very effectively done with great voicework and endearing, likeable characters throughout. The music and presentation is also top-notch; this game is gorgeous. I know in Japan it's also out on PS3, but I can't imagine a nicer looking PS4 game at the moment. I mean yeah, stuff like Battlefront and Arkham Knight are technically more ambitious, but so much more boring looking versus Akira Toriyama's vibrant fantasy world. And this is without a doubt the nicest Dragon Quest has ever looked, and probably will until Dragon Quest Heroes or the PS4 version of DQ11 comes out. It's one of the nicest looking games to come out of Japan in a long time, period! It's technically accomplished and artistically strong - it makes for a charming, awesome looking game from beginning to end, which should last you anywhere from 40 to 70 hours.
I can't say more positive things about this. It looks fantastic, it bleeds charm effortlessly, it's incredibly satisfying to play... it's the definition of a 5 star review. Pick it up. If you don't like Warriors games, you'll like this -- it's easily a thousand times better. The RPG DNA is here and stronger than most action-RPGs, thanks to their prior experience with games like Toukiden and Trinity. It's a very strong showing for Dragon Quest's signature personality as well. It's just... just buy it you guys. It's so much fun :D
The graphics are simply amazing! I have not had or observed frame sluggishness like what was previously stated by others (maybe because I bought the hard copy of the game instead of downloading it?). There are a lot of nostalgia points, like the music, reappearance of features from the PS2 DQ, and of course, the monsters. I was a bit saddened that the normal monster versus you gameplay like the old versions is totally absent, but maybe it is for the best? The new style of fighting helps you progress easier - but it can get a bit chaotic since so much goes on around you when there are so many monsters at times - and it looks like your comrads don't do anything but just watch you. LOL
Overall, it is challenging, engaging, and just beautifully-crafted. I am glad I purchased the PS4 as a Black Friday bargain from Costco just to play this game. Worth the wait.
Even if you're not a Dynasty Warriors fan you'll still get a kick out of this game. It's got a lot of classic RPG elements and sounds that make it a retro delight. 4/5 only because of repetition. I'm not bored with the game. It's a blast, but a repetitive blast. A little more variety and in objectives would make this an easy 5/5.
Pretty much fun for any age provided setting dozens of cartoonish skeletons on fire with one huge flamesword is cool with you or not. Amazing how you can electrify something to vapor and it turns into a bag of herbs or coin. Who knew?

Aunque podemos catalogar este juego como un "Hack N' Slash", los toques de RPG le dan un cambio muy significativo al concepto de solo matar enemigos y avanzar, La historia es interesante y el diseño de personajes le da un plus que muy poco juegos pueden ofrecer.
El estilo de juego es muy parecido al viejo "Ninety Nine Nights" de Xbox 360, en donde eres tu contra olas y olas de enemigos, pero contando con una gran cantidad de personajes a elegir los cuales podrás cambiar a mitad de la batalla para lograr espectaculares combinaciones, ademas de que cuenta con un enorme numero de enemigos lo que lo hace bastante variado.
En Resumen: Si te gustan los juegos de Acción con toques de RPG, este juego es para ti, y si ademas, eres fan o te gusta el trabajo de Akira Toriyama, no puedes pasar dejar pasar es titulo.
