Dragon Quest XI was a great game with fantastic characters, and among those characters was none other than Erik, the sly but friendly thief. Now, he’s got his own game, alongside his sister Mia, and the two of them are set on finding as much treasure as possible. That game is Dragon Quest Treasures, a maybe-prequel and a definite twist on the usual Dragon Quest formula.
You might be familiar with the Dragon Quest Monster sub-series, and Treasures is kind of like that, but it’s also fairly different. The Monsters sub-series focuses less on the human characters in combat, and more on the monsters. They’re creature-collecting games, sort of like Pokémon, and for the most part collecting and battling these iconic Dragon Quest creatures is the main draw.
