Last year's Switch release of Square Enix's monster-collecting RPG, Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, was a delightful experience despite some technical hiccups. Its charm and engaging gameplay surpassed other Dragon Quest spin-offs on the platform, rivaling the exceptional Dragon Quest Builders 2. While a PC port was anticipated, a mobile release came as a pleasant surprise. Square Enix has announced that the previously Switch-exclusive title will launch on iOS, Android, and Steam on September 11th, encompassing all previously released DLC, including the Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince Digital Deluxe Edition content. See the trailer below:
Comparison screenshots showcasing the game's appearance on mobile, Switch, and Steam are available on the official Japanese website. Here's one example:
Importantly, the Steam and mobile versions will omit the real-time online battle network mode present in the Switch edition.
The Nintendo Switch version is priced at $59.99 (standard) and $84.99 (Digital Deluxe Edition). Given my enjoyment of the Switch version, I eagerly anticipate reviewing the mobile (iPhone, iPad) and Steam Deck versions upon their September 11th launch. This swift mobile porting following the initial console release is commendable, especially considering the typical delays seen in the Dragon Quest series, such as with Dragon Quest Builders. The mobile price is set at $29.99, while the Steam version will cost $39.99. Pre-register on the App Store for iOS and Google Play for Android.
Have you experienced Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince on Switch? Will you be exploring it on mobile or Steam in the coming weeks?
