Customer Ratings & Reviews

People are unfairly rating the product instead of contacting Best Buy support. I got my game on time and my promo code came in email a few days later. Check your junk mail folks or contact Best Buy. I’m sure they can issue a missing code.

Bestbuy didn't give me my pre-order code and transferred me around their help line over and over for 2 hours then told me i need to contact square-enix directly S-E promptly told me bestbuy is responsible for their own codes

I did not receive my preorder code from best buy very upset about it this will be the last time i order anything from here and will be canceling my best buy visa and everything else having to do with it

This remake lives up the the immense legacy of the original game while also adding many new mechanics and quality-of-life features to allow players new to Dragon Quest III or the Dragon Quest series in general to be able to jump in without being overwhelmed. The visuals are stunning, making it the best looking Square-Enix title under the "HD-2D" moniker yet, the fully orchestrated score adds a lot to the atmosphere. The only thing I can have against it(which is not enough for me to bump it to 4 stars) is some very minor features from the SNES(A boardgame-like minigame based heavily on Enix's Fortune Street Series) and GBC(A collectathon mechanic tied heavily to a new-to-that-version postgame dungeon) versions of the game are not here, but there is plenty of new stuff that uses many parts of that missing content, and the stuff that replaced the GBC version's exclusive content in particular I can imagine would be a lot more palatable to most people.

Best Remaster ever of any DQ game, if you ever played this on the original NES this game will blow your socks off. On top of the graphics they added new features and now some of the characters have voice overs!

This is a wonderful classic RPG, brought to life in the new HD-2D style. It's turn-based and requires a little grinding in some areas, but the visuals, music, and quality of life improvements make this a must-own for RPG fans.

Great game. Loved the original on the nes the remake of course has updated graphics and so much more. If you enjoy rpg games of the older style, give this a go. The remake does justice to the game!

Great Remake!! I appreciate the changes and additions made to the game to make a better quality of life game. Monster Wrangler is a fun new addition to the job classes to pick from.

A love letter to JRPG fans of the series and for fans of RPG game everywhere. Though I never played the original release this remake finally gives me a chance to play the game. Very addictive and fun and while difficulty can be harsh at times it make you want to grind through regardless. The game easily ranks up there with other JRPG games like Octopath traveler, Star Ocean,Eiyuden and others. A must have for any gamer who loves the new and classic style of JRPG/RPG games and one that gamers shouldn't wait on getting for too long.

Runs great on Switch. Faithful remake to the originals. Awesome QoL features. You can have 5 minute sessions thanks to the quick save which is nice when you have kids. Id Recommend starting with this one if you havent played a Dragon Quest before.

Fun game, but very easy on standard mode. It really guides you through everything to a fault. I recommend playing on challenge mode if you're looking for something closer to the older versions of the game

A faithful remake of the original Super Famicom version, with a large amount of new features. But make sure you start with a thief.

Originally released in 1988 on the Famicom and 1992 on the NES. The game holds true to the original formula but with revamp visuals. If it's not broken, don't fix it... a formula the Dragon Quest/Warrior franchise has focused on it's entire life. The game is beautiful, and great to play and runs great on the Switch. Highly recommend the game.

Dragon Quest has always been a fantastic series, and these remakes are great for anyone who wants to experience them again or for the first time. Even though this is the “3rd”installment, you won’t miss much if you haven’t played played 1 & 2 (especially since 3 is a prequel of sorts). Beautiful environments, a really fun party system, and a really great taste of the “good old days” of gaming.

I love this game!!! When I was a kid I rented the original from Blockbuster a bunch of times and this version is even more amazing than that. I hope to play the new versions of 1 and 2 next year as well and hope for the day that DQ4 is re-released for Switch as well!!

The original was one of my first RPGs, so I was thrilled to pick this up. THe 2 1/2D style really brings the world to life and the QOL improvements make the gameplay less grindy. Definitely recommend to classic RPG fans.

Great game! I’m excited for the other remakes coming out next year. Don’t worry about the bad reviews. It’s just people reviewing the fact they didn’t get their pre-order code instead of reviewing the actual game.

With the recent update and 1&2 coming out later this year getting this game just makes sense sure it’s a little tough but with a little bit of practice and grinding with the preferred teammates in your party it’s a breeze!

If you like Chrono Trigger, or Pokémon era RPGs, this is right up your alley. Nothing ground breaking or innovative here, but it's really a love letter to the old school RPGs Gen X and Millenials grew up with. And for newer players, it's just a fun experience! Great soundtrack, character customization, and graphics.

Another brilliant HD-2D game by SquareEnix. A truly faithful remake to the 1988 NES classic. Incredible modernized graphics and incredible orchestral score, with new quality of life improvements.
