HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (26 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

No customer support7%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Needs landscape mode and controller support.
★★★★★ For this one and for the other games, Widescreen & Gamepad support as well as Customisable Controls (to be where we put them on the screen even in black bars for a retro 4:3 ratio screen) so it's accessible on more…
★★★★★ Needs landscape mode and controller support
Missing features7%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ You can't change the controls if you have a physical controller, you can't even flip the screen to make the gameplay vertical instead of horizontal.

★★★★★ It's a shame you cant change the orientation it makes the game unplayable for me.

Wrong or poor results4%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Online only, bought this to play when I am in rural areas so it is useless.
★★★★★ This one just feels like a low quality phone game.
★★★★★ The new English localization leans into heavy fake medieval talk, way more difficult to understand than the original and not as charming.
Worse after an update4%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The interface isn't as updated as the FF games.
★★★★★ Love the updated graphics, sound and single hand controls but they absolutely ruined the game by dumbing down the difficulty so much.
★★★★★ Update phone and Lost all saved data
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • It was a bug in the NES original and maybe in the Super Famicom version, but this should have been fixed. 4★, Sep 3, 2026
  • One criticism about this and other Dragon Quest games via app store is I wish there was the ability to transfer saves between android devices. 4★, Jun 15, 2026
  • no my only complains I have that it very grindy and I wish there was more locations to explore but yet again this is from a game in 1980 so I wasn't expecting much. 4★, Jan 19, 2026
  • If I stop playing it and come back to it the next day it seems fine again, but really wish they would fix that. 3★, Dec 8, 2025
  • little QoL things would be great. 4★, Jul 9, 2025
  • It's a shame because it looks like they put some effort into this one, but I just wish they did more quality of life improvements. 2★, Apr 13, 2025
  • I was able to farm resources by millions but it all went to he'll when I level up no stars I wish 1★, Feb 6, 2025
  • It needs to check the DRM rights before playing and you need an Internet connection for that. 3★, Mar 10, 2024

★★★★★ Simple turn based dungeon crawler.
Fast5%

19 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ It's also easy to abuse the Quick Saves...
★★★★★ If crave a visit to the ROOTS of all Jrpgs on the home console this is the best way to just JUMP in the quick save feature + the portability make this one a STEAL
★★★★★ at least they added quick-save.
Looks great4%

17 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ It was so good, concise and engaging what a beautiful first entry and first time playthrough.
★★★★★ I wouldn't complain, except the super Nintendo version looks so gorgeous.
★★★★★ UI isn't great, but it works.
Worth the money4%

16 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ It made sense to start at the beginning, especially as it's so cheap.
★★★★★ Now I'm interested on buying DQ3, So what I can say about this game is, Even I'm buying this game because today there's a 50% discount, I can say the full price is still worth it, because DQ1 & DQ2 isn't not that…
★★★★★ A good price too, I seem to remember a weekend rental would have been £3 30 years ago and that's what this game is.
