"Dragon Quest VIII" Now Out on iOS and Android in the West

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King hit Japanese smartphones back in December, and now a western release is here with very little warning! It wasn't long after it debuted in the New Zealand App Store before it made its way elsewhere, and you can now purchase the iOS version in the App Store and the Android version via Google Play.


 


Priced at $19.99, Dragon Quest VIII features "streamlined" touchscreen controls with freely positional d-pads. Combat has been reworked to allow for both one-tap standoffs and more thoughtful strategies. 


 







 


Some of the App Store description: 


The 8th instalment in the legendary DRAGON QUEST series is now even easier to enjoy!


 


The phenomenally popular DRAGON QUEST VIII has sold 4.9 million units worldwide, and now it's coming to the iPhone and iPad for the first time!


This was the first title in the series to be presented in full 3D, and its exquisitely detailed world has to be seen to be believed!


Set off on an unforgettable adventure with Yangus, the bandit with a heart of gold, Jessica, the high-born magical minx, and Angelo, knight and lothario, by your side!


 


Everything you need is here in a single package!


Once the app is downloaded, there's no more to pay, as every last shred of content is yours to enjoy.


So get ready to play the epic that is DRAGON QUEST VIII from beginning to end—and far beyond!
