Dragon Quest 8: Journey of the Cursed King -E-

Dragon Quest VIII: The Enchanted King's Journey tells the classic story of the Dragon Quest series in Europe as a handheld version: with two additional playable characters, even more side quests, a novel photo mode, and the ability to fight terrifying monsters on the go.

The court jester Dhoulmagus appears at Trodain Castle, and with that begins the whole mess: the rogue antics rip steals the king's scepter and abuses his magical powers to turn the ruler into a troll, his princess into a horse and all the castle inhabitants into plants. Only one guardian escapes the curse. It is now up to him to save the kingdom to which he has sworn allegiance. He follows the trail of destruction that Dhoulmagus leaves behind and roams the various countries of the empire to search for allies and defeat monsters. So will the hero regain the sceptre, restore order, and return the kingdom to former glory and glory? This depends solely on the skill of Nintendo 3DS players.

Suitable for connoisseurs as well as newcomers
Whether you're immersed in this epic story for the first time or want to relive it, Dragon Quest VIII: The Haunted King's Journey has something for everyone. Players can look forward to fully synchronized game scenes that are important for the course of the action. In addition, some light comes into the mysterious story, so that players learn more about the hero and the rogue Dhoulmagus. In addition, completely new quests and dungeons are waiting for them - and even an alternative ending.

Connoisseurs will find that some game elements have been improved for the handheld version of Dragon Quest VIII: The Journey of the Enchanted King. Adventurers in a hurry no longer have to rush to the nearest virtual church to save their score. Thanks to the new Quick Save feature, you can now pause the game at any time to resume it later. Warriors, on the other hand, can significantly speed up the battles with their adversaries by using the Speed Up feature.

Take photos and get rewards
Anyone who wants to hold back memories of their struggle for peace now has it easier than ever. Outside of the fights and the animated game scenes, it is always possible to stop the action and take photos of the respective situation. These pictures can be edited in a variety of ways: you can let the hero and his companions take certain poses, add stickers, use filters or provide the photo with a suitable frame - all according to personal taste. Once the players have met Cameron Obscura in the port city of Port Prospect, they can unlock Cameron's codex. There they receive their earned reward for photos of certain characters, monsters and situations.

All images can be saved on the SD card and shared with other owners of the game via the Nintendo 3DS StreetPass feature. Players can rate each other with a "thumbs up" sign for their shared photos. The more such likes you get for an image, the better the chances of receiving new, helpful items for the game.
