Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake was a massive success for Square Enix, earning the praise of fans and critics alike. In Wccftech's review, the game was rated 8.6 out of 10 by Kai Tatsumoto:
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake has been given a complete graphical overhaul, instead giving the iconic RPG a makeover in the same vein as Square-Enix’s Octopath Traveler and other similar titles. The entire world is brightly colored and blooming with light. Even if you’re intimately familiar with every step retracing Ortega’s journey, the complete reimagining of the adventure makes this feel like a brand new adventure rather than just another release of Seeds of Salvation. All I can say now is that I can’t wait to go through the other Remakes next year.
