DRAGON QUEST II Wiki

When my Dragon Warrior I & II cartridge for my Game Boy stopped working shortly after finishing the first game, I was glad that I could play the second on my phone. This is a great game. The game itself is a classic. Although, among the DQ games its considered to be one of the worst, I found it quite enjoyable. The story is much more involved than the first one and the additional party members add to the experience. This version of the game is probably the best. The game is generally criticized for its difficulty, but with this version a lot of that has been fixed; the ‘hidden’ treasures sparkle, the prince and princess are pretty useful, there’s a world map, etc. I also liked the updated sprites and the additional save options. The one thing that I didn’t really like was the controls. Coming from the Game Boy, it took me a while to get used to the touch screen controls, but once I did, I did. And to be fair, there aren’t really any better options on a phone. Overall, it’s a great game, well worth the $5 imo

Not really a review so much as reporting an error. Game froze while on the top floor of the southern dragon's tooth while playing on an iPhone 7. I had a set alarm on my phone go off just as I encountered an enemy "Sekerleton", dismissed the notification (swiped up on the pop-up) and the game stopped responding, sound stopped and had to force-close the app. Not sure if it was caused by the alarm starting during/before the battle started or if it was caused by dismissing the notification while in-game. Other than that, this has always been one of my favorite classic game series, you did fairly good work on this title, aside from losing some of its old charm without the original action menu. Still five stars.

The grind is a bit real on this one. The monster encounter rate definitely higher than I recall, plus you must grind levels on about three to four different occasions. After getting all the end game gear and leveling all three characters to 46 the last boss was easy. Played on a iPad, controls were good since you can move by touching any part of the screen. Translation was a bit mediocre. Overall a good experience. I guesstimate about 35 hours to complete the game. Tips: get the falcon blade (bought in town), don’t skip the mad cap (last cave, near end game) both items make a big impact.

This game finally works as intended, and no longer crashes after every battle. Highly recommended for fans of grind heavy classic jrpg's, perfect for killing time and remembering there's actual JRPG games on the App Store that aren't infested with micro transactions and thinly disguised "gameplay" designed to separate fools from their money. A classic in every sense of the word and absolutely worth the one time purchase price for jrpg fans.

I finished the second game today. Beautiful experience like the first game, yet more expansive. Felt more alive then DQ1 (to be expected). I wrote long last time so I’ll Make it quick. I can’t wait to start the 3rd game. Everyone talks about how good it is and it’s the 3rd game at that. I got it waiting for me tomorrow. I don’t want to jump right in. I need coffee something to eat and 2 hrs lol. DQ3 here I come. #PEACE

Now I can relive my childhood in classic RPG fashion, without an older brother taking the controller away. Anyone who played this as a kid will be a bit sad that it’s much easier with the quick save and auto save feature... but it saves you hours of your life too! Especially for gaming on the go! So glad they put this on iOS!!

I love the original Dragon Warrior/Quest. It was my first RPG and still one of my favorites. However, many people say this sequel isn’t as good... BUT, I think this game is amazing! It’s the perfect blend of simplicity and customization. The first was very simple and the third has a lot of options. This DQ is a great mix. And now that it is updated to fit iPhone X, I’m really really enjoying it!

Definitely worth the price tag. I admit I had a bit of trouble staying immersed and fell back on an old ascii walkthrough to burn my way to the finish line. But it was still worth it. Doing it that way made it a pretty short game. The low difficulty helped. Now I’m on to DQ3 which I like more.

Just adding this review to show SE my appreciation for addressing the bug that made this game unplayable. (Admittedly, it did take them pretty long to fix what seems like a minor yet gamebreaking bug.) Seems to be fine now, and it's a fantastic classic jrpg, and it's probably the best version of DQ2 out there.

It is fun, cheap way to enjoy childhood nostalgia, but the old carts and system would be a lot of money and time.... this I was able to enjoy it on the road. It has been changed... it is the same, but they nerfed the crap out of it, the save log allows you to save anytime (good for the road) but makes the game much easier... save every 5 steps or after every battle... also the level “grind” doesn’t feel as difficult or time consuming The graphics are nice and updated, the games save feature is nice for on the road, and it is pretty much exactly like the original, although some names were changed. I gave it a 4 because it was great fun, but needs a classic mode that is just like the original... heck in today’s insta win game world it would be called “hardcore” mode

If you are following the walkthrough that says go up the stairs in Beran and you’ll be in the outside world to Rendarack, but your in a room with an old man, then go DOWN not up to the stairs from the warp. Good game, nice interface, beat Malroth at levels 40, 38, 35. Wish I had know prayer ring has limited number of uses before I sold 2 of them. Poof Dust

Great remake of a classic. Now the bug driving me crazy is when you use any of your gear as an item(like the lighting staff) the delay is really long. You almost think it's going to crash any second. Fix that and you got a five star translation

With update to iOS 14, the game freezes often on my iPhone 6S Plus. Freezes last for 2-3 seconds, but they happen several times per minute, which really takes away from the enjoyment. Without the freezes, the game would easily get 5 stars from me. Last update was 2 years ago. I wish SE would update this again to work well with the updated iOS.

This game starts fun, but goes downhill quickly. The devs way of making the game more “difficult” is to make it more tedious. The fights don’t get harder, no strategy is required whatsoever. The “difficulty” comes from their dungeons, which as you progress through the game, turn into a mess of random doors and hallways that go in loops, or take you back to the beginning. For hours. No puzzles to stump you, no strong bosses to overcome, just tedious guesswork to find the end of a cave. This game is obnoxious, and to be honest the story isn’t interesting enough to bother slogging through the tedium. Save your money and get a better game.
