This title is inspired by the original Dragon Quest, blending retro-style RPG gameplay with a procedurally generated world. The story begins as a classic fantasy adventure, but eventually transforms into a mysterious realm where terrain, items, and enemy placement are randomly reorganized due to the world’s “Splintering.”
Players can freely combine equipment from nine different职业 paths, unlocking powerful job-specific abilities by leveling up their gear.
