"Dragon Quest 1&2 HD-2D Remastered Edition" brings a beautiful conclusion to SE's remake trilogy.With the iconic HD-2D graphics style, the game successfully recreates the retro magic of the original while giving it a modern visual new life.
Both works retain the classic turn-based combat system. Although the mechanism is relatively simple, it still stands the test of time.The first work is a compact and focused single-player adventure, while the second is more ambitious, using a multiplayer team structure to strengthen the plot narrative and character growth.
With the thoughtful "life convenience" function, "Dragon Quest 1&2 HD-2D Remastered Edition" maintains a warm and nostalgic atmosphere while also making it easier for new players to get started.Although the game still has some difficulty imbalance issues, when mirrored with last year's "Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remastered Edition", this collection is undoubtedly a sincere tribute to the long RPG legacy of "Dragon Quest".

"Dragon Quest 1&2 HD-2D Remastered Edition", as a continuation of last year's remake plan, brings a satisfying conclusion to the "Lotor Trilogy".A gorgeous art style, tons of new content and convenience updates, and an unforgettable soundtrack combine to create a captivating remake that's highly recommended for anyone who loves retro JRPGs.
If you have a special liking for role-playing games, then this work is definitely worth picking up as soon as possible."Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remastered Edition" once again proves why the "Dragon Quest" series is still regarded as one of the most respected classics in the RPG field.

"Dragon Quest 1&2 HD-2D Remastered Edition" brings surprises beyond expectations.The overall performance of the remake of "Dragon Quest 1" is excellent, although it is occasionally frustrating, but it has a more complete presentation in terms of character creation and the combat system of the world of Alefgard.
However, the real highlight of this game is undoubtedly "Dragon Quest 2".This generation was often regarded as an "outlier" in the series, but now it has successfully transformed into one of the best entries in the series with its charming characters, fascinating plot and strategic battles.
Both games have extremely exquisite pixel art and orchestral soundtracks, providing excellent visual and auditory experiences. They are definitely worth players' time to savor.

Compared with the relatively conservative style of "Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remastered Edition", the content expansion and innovation shown in "Dragon Quest 1&2 HD-2D Remastered Edition" is amazing.It seems that the original version is just a "summary" of the story, while this remake is a complete "novel interpretation".
The expanded plot segments, new exploration areas, enhanced game mechanics, and comprehensively upgraded performance make "Dragon Quest 1&2" almost completely new, like two brand-new works.Although I occasionally miss the fast-paced progression of the first "Dragon Quest", overall, this is still a must-play for fans of the series and those who like traditional RPGs.
