DRAGON QUEST IV App Reviews

Is it just me or is every single wall and building inside towns and caves all warped and wavy looking? Fun game but that is destroying visually. Maybe its an iOS 8 thing?

Let me begin by saying that Dragon Warrior IV on NES was and still is my favorite video game of all time. This port is a modified version of the Nintendo DS remake, so it accessible and fun, but not quite as challenging as the original from 1992 (US.) I love this game, but putting nostalgia aside, it shines on mobile devices because the general turn-based JRPGs of the past translate well to touch screens. ENIX had the complex story figured out by the time they got to this 4th installment and it really shows, giving players a fun, but not too heavy adventure with multiple characters that are easy to fall in love with. Get this game.

Finally English fans have the chance to experience Dragon Quest IV in all its glory! The DS remake had party talk removed in the English release. Thank the Goddess that the universe has corrected this awful mistake on the App Store!

It is like none of the other reviewers bothered to play through the full game before reviewing it. At least in my copy, and on my iPad, there is a game breaking bug about 20 hours and it prevents me from finishing. That is just fantastic. I am so glad I spent 20 hours of my life on a game that I am physically incapable of finishing because a necessary boss does not show up where he is supposed to.

A gorgeous port of the Nintendo DS version. This is a classic, grind-heavy RPG with a great story and memorable characters. The battles have animated monsters, unlike some of the preceding Dragon Quest iOS ports. Be aware - if you play the game on an iPad instead of an iPhone, the battle window may cover most of the battle scene, partially obscuring the enemies. Aside from that, enjoy the beautiful graphics, music and stories! Cheers!

Works perfect on my Iphone6 Plus! I remembered this game on my friends Super Famicom. Really happy Im able to play this game even after 15+ years later! Put in around 20 hrs and so far its been great! Autosave and Cloud Save are both great adds! With Cloud Save Im able to switch between my iPad and iPhone seamlessly! This is how all FF and DragonQuests should port from now on!!

The iPad battle manu cover on monsters and background….. I want to like iPhone don’t cover on monsters and background Please….

I can get cloud to link to my iPad Air, but I cannot link my iPhone 6 so Im forced to only play on one device. I can see the iCloud save on my iPhone 6 but the game says "cloud authentication failed" always. I purchased this game since cloud support was noted. Regret purchase now.

I played Dragon Quest VIII and enjoyed it, but this game is both too similar and too lacking in depth to be worth the price. It may have nostalgia value for those who played it before, however.

This is the third time I have owned this game and played through it! Not to mention that it is a very fun game with a good story and neat characters, but the port to iOS is wonderful! I love the Cloud Save function that works between my iPad and iPhone so I can play anywhere. I dont necessarily like that I have to manually click "Cloud Save" in order to sync with the cloud, but its a minor inconvenience at best. Great job SquareEnix! Please do as good a job with DQV and DQVI if and when you port them! Those were great games when I played them on the DS and I look forward to them again on iOS!

The way this game designed its saving method with the iCloud is terible. Constantly deletes my new saves but erases it when trying to sink other tablets with the iCloud sync. Lost in game intrest , when you lose 30 hours of game play due to iCloud not syncing properly with using multiple tablets.

I want landscape, only reason its not five stars.

This game is addicting. I played DQ1 when I was a kid. Came free with a subscription to Nintendo Power. This game is a whole lot better. Its very long, took me awhile to beat. Very interesting story. I liked how there were different story lines for each characters, then merged them all together. Grinding was easy with the AI selection. I just control one character and the others just Attack. I was usually half asleep while grinding. Worth every penny. On to the next one.

Hands down one of my new favorite dragon quest games so far! I so far boughten 1-4 and going to get 5 and hoping for 6 to come out!!! And also hoping for a dragon quest monsters!!!!!!!

I love the dragon quest games and this one, I remember playing as a kid. Overall great game except for the translation of the in game text from NPCs. I appreciate the subtle dialect and even the "accents" that are written down. But whats with all the poorly translated dialog for the Alena chapter?! It makes reading a pain and almost reflects poorly on Square Enixs prestigious reputation. It almost feels like they hired a bunch of middle school Japanese kids to translate the game by only using google translator. Please fix this issue, because paying 15$ for a remade game (that I feel had a better translation team for the original NES version) and getting poor quality translation feels almost insulting especially considering that I cant request a refund, which I would request because of this issue. Thank you.

Love that they are making the dragon quest games for the phone now. I grew up with these and they still hold up 20 years later. Looking forward to them them releasing the rest. Ive went 1 thru 4 and about to head on to 5!

Only 1 glitch (with DS version too)--- Kabuff increases all members DEF by 100%--- its supposed to be 50 (25 DQ 5 and later) this makes the game too easy after you learn the ability.

This is the best version of the DQIV remakes. It looks beautiful and since it originally ran "full-screen" (i.e. using both screens) on the Nintendo DS, it is perfectly suited for portrait mode. Its like joining the two screens together and upgrading the speed and resolution. It is a little weird playing with a touchscreen, but you can play it one-handed on your phone, and its beautiful on iPad. DQIV was a revolution at the time, adding characters with personalities and a chapter structure. This game is a real joy to play.

Cant express my thanks enough to you square for putting this series out on ios! One of the best games ever made!

Could the game be tweaked to allow a different application to be playing audio?
