For gamers young and old, returning to games made decades ago poses a unique challenge: to appreciate dated graphics and archaic gameplay with modern eyes. Square Enix took up this challenge by resurrecting the classic role-playing game Dragon Quest II for today's gamers — though its preserved mechanics may turn off some players used to conventional RPGs.

In Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake you can make friends with monsters that aren’t antagonistic around the world. You will send these monsters to a keeper named Monty. Some monsters are easy to find and will let you get close and talk to them. Other times it requires you to sneak up on them or find certain items for them to join you.
