A new monster-collection RPG is coming out from Square Enix, “Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince”, and it looks incredible so far. Are you planning on trying it? Each previous entry to the series has been phenomenal in my opinion and I was curious how the most popular franchises’ fans feel about it. I feel like it has massive potential going by my experience with the franchise. After watching the trailers I’m super excited; it’ll be a breath of fresh air for monster-collection RPG fans.
You play as Psaro in his childhood, one of the antagonists from Dragon Quest 4. This game is actually a prequel to that game. You’ll see exactly how he becomes “Psaro the Manslayer, Master of Monsters” that the heroes feared. Pretty cool that we actually play as the antagonist for once!

Some new features will include:
– seasons changing which makes different monsters appear at different times of the year
– streamlined breeding/monster fusion so that it’s much faster and easier
– a vast and fully explorable overworld
– over 500 beautifully animated monsters
– full voice acting for the entire game
– Storyline with a serious, dark tone; you play as the Demon King’s son who has been cursed and banished, and now you must raise an army of Monsters to aid you
