    Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake Full Game Hands-On Preview: Switch and Steam Deck Tested

    Back in 2017 when I played the first demo for what was tentatively called Project Octopath Traveler, little did I know that it would not only become one of my favorite RPGs from Square Enix, but the aesthetic would go on to feature in some of the best games the publisher has put out in recent years through Octopath Traveler II, Triangle Strategy, and the remake of Live A Live.

    My first experience with Dragon Quest III was through the mobile release I read about back in 2014. Since then, I've played it on Nintendo Switch as well, and neither of these versions deliver a good enough experience. I expected Square Enix to just port that Switch version (based on the mobile release) over to more systems, but what we have here is multiple times better in every way.

    When Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake was announced, I wasn't sure what to expect with quality of life features, how its timeless aesthetic would be brought over to HD-2D, and whether it would stay true to its roots.

    Thanks to early codes from Square Enix, I've had a chance to play the final game's early hours on both Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch for this preview. I'm going to focus on how both of these versions of the game feel after having played every HD-2D game on all platforms since 2018. Make sure to also read our earlier previews of the remake in June from Adam and last month from Josh.
