Dragon Quest Heroes II Review Once again the Dynasty Warriors formula of taking your heroes out on the open road to flatten war mongering monsters that have the artificial intelligence of a plank of wood is back again.

Dragon Quest Heroes II is a JRPG on fast forward. The gradual addition of new party members, the rollout of plot twists, and other typical genre roadmarkers come at you at a fast clip.

Expansive environments rich in rewards; Large cast of characters lend depth to combat; Engrossing multiplayer yields a lot of loot; Great mission diversity

Mediocre AI partners; Underutilized class change system

Buy Dragon Quest Heroes II Dragon Quest Heroes II follows the story of two cousins, Lazarel and Teresa, who live in the land of Dunisia. The world lives in peace and harmony and fear bringing about another terrible war.

This review is long overdue, and all I can do is apologise. I've been going through a rough patch, especially these past few days, but with the help of fun game, any kind of stress and anxiety can float away. A fun game is what we all need from time to time.

Large roster of Dragon Quest Heroes; Nice balance between free roam and battle sections; Some great boss fights; Lots of collectibles and extras to do

I gave the first heros a perfect rating and then some. Not being able to do coup de grace ever has ruined it for me.

If you are a fan of the Dragon Quest series, and or you just liked the first Dragon Quest Heroes. This game is a great addition to the series. It took everything that was awesome from the first DQH, and expanded on them. Great fun.

Hours of fighting beasts and bad guys. Best game ever.
