TouchArcade Rating: 
Last year's Switch release of Square Enix's monster-collecting RPG, Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, was a delightful experience despite some technical hiccups. Its charm and engaging gameplay surpassed other Dragon Quest spin-offs on the platform, rivaling the excellent Dragon Quest Builders 2. While a PC port was anticipated, a mobile release came as a pleasant surprise. Square Enix has announced that the previously Switch-exclusive title will launch on iOS, Android, and Steam on September 11th, priced at $29.99 (mobile) and $39.99 (Steam), including all previously released DLC and the Digital Deluxe Edition content. See the trailer below:
Comparison images showcasing the game's visuals across mobile, Switch, and Steam platforms are available on the official Japanese website. Here's an example:
Importantly, the online real-time battle mode from the Switch version will be absent in the Steam and mobile releases.
The Switch version is currently priced at $59.99 (standard) and $84.99 (Digital Deluxe). Given the typically lengthy delays between console and mobile releases in the Dragon Quest series (as seen with Dragon Quest Builders), this relatively swift mobile port is commendable. Pre-register on the App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android).
Have you already conquered the monster-filled world of Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince on Switch? Will you be embarking on a new adventure on mobile or Steam on September 11th?
