The new Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake differs from its original '80s editions and joins forces with the automatic battle system that has now been part of the JRPG series for decades. In this case, Square Enix devs have improved on the already smooth auto-battle system and practically turned what's in the Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake into water – though they warn players not to be too impressed with their innovation.
You don't want to get complacent. Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D requires the heroic descendant of Erdrick to face tons of creepy monsters in turn-based combat, and while some of this process falls under the category of typical JRPG grind, the strongest Dragon Quest foes are hoping you'll be distracted so that they can rip you open – according to an interview devs did with Famitsu, translated by Automaton.
