I want to like this game but in essence the game is a $30 dollar game at best. A lot of assets are reused from DQ11 particularly music. One of the major cut scenes in the game I came across was ripped straight from the switch with no up scaling. the game is very AA in nature but generally charming. I must say there is nothing impressive here. It is very simplistic in scope and could be fun at a reasonable price …

Well this came out of nowhere. This is a weird one. It's not a massive new mainline DQ game, but this game scratches a particular itch. If I had to say what it's like, this game feels a lot like Dragon Quest's version of Pokemon Legends Arceus, with a dash of Xenoblade-style landscapes and some hints of collectathon-ish platforming. You travel around, fighting and recruiting monsters, scouring every nook and cranny …

A true completionist's trial. Casual players will be fine running through the story and a good chunk of content but people who 100% will have their mental fortitude greatly tested. All 777 treasures are RNG, finding each one does not remove them from the loot pool because you can find duplicates. Every time you pick up a treasure you can only see it's silhouette and type so you have to keep a spreadsheet on hand of …

A treasure hunting action RPG in the DQ world. If you absolutely love the Dragon Quest series then you'll certainly enjoy this, at least for a bit like me. That being said, the combat is pretty bad and there is a lot of RNG involved in most aspects of the game. The worst offender though, is not only the fact that it's grindy as ♥♥♥♥, but it's grindy in a way that's just there to waste your time. Wanna dig a treasure …

Pros: Addictive and fun main gameplay loop. Head out from your base to find treasures and do simple sidequests. After 15-45 minutes, come back to an "unboxing party" for all the treasure you've picked up and watch your money bin fill up. Nice clean graphics, runs well, supports 120FPS. Music: a great selection of Dragon Quest tracks in that distinctive Sugiyama style. The familiar Dragon Quest aesthetic is executed …

79% of the 156 Steam reviewers we collected recommend DRAGON QUEST TREASURES. The complaint that keeps coming up: repetitive grind and RNG-heavy treasure hunting. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
The game received a mixed reception for the Switch version and a generally favorable reception for the Windows version, according to review aggregator Metacritic. RPGFan praised the "cute story" and interesting world, but said the combat was weak and the game was overall more insubstantial than the main Dragon Quest games. Siliconera summarized the game as a "massive to-do list", though "one filled with personality". They felt that the treasure hunting and gameplay were fun, but that the number and categories of quests became "overwhelming and exhausting".

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →*Ignore my hours. Already played the Switch version about 7 ish hours.* Finally! I've been wanting to play this game since day 1 for the PC or PS5 release! I have no idea why I love this game, but it's that good. It's easily the best side Dragon Quest game ever for me. That's saying a lot. I liked the Switch version, but playing it 15 or 20 FPS, isn't what I call "fun". Which is a crime this game wasn't in every systems. >:( But PC version, nah, man! We're done with 60! It's 150 FPS,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wish I could give a neutral review. If you are a big fan of the series this game is more of what you want. If you are not, I don't think this entry will win you over. I spent around 5~ hours at the very start of the game grinding up a 'good' team. I spent another 5ish hours just cruising around and exploring the world and unlocking fast travel. The main story itself only took a couple hours to clear and wasn't very compelling. Post game is a random infinite scaling dungeon along with finishing…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just a super quick and dirty basic tech overview for things that I was looking for, not a "review": - Supports 30, 60, 120, 144 and uncapped FPS with a separate vsync toggle. - Supports resolutions up to 4k, but does not support ultrawide out of the box, you'll get black bars. Defaults to Borderless, but also has windowed and exclusive fullscreen. - A decent amount of graphics options, not super impressive but you can make it look significantly better than the Switch version in terms of actual…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was hoping the game would be similar in quality to Dragon Quest Builders 2 for a DQ spin-off game, but it's not even close. This is an exploration game that does everything in it's power to make exploration less fun. The combat is almost entirely determined by your AI monster companions, who will spend the majority of a battle standing around not doing anything. When they finally do decide to attack you'll be lucky if they actually make contact with anything. In the meantime you can tickle…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Loved this game on the Switch but having the graphics options and being able to have a high frame rate makes this game so much better. The load times are so so so much better on the PC as well. It's a fun game though, if you like exploring and collecting you will like this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Was so excited to get this on sale, and for a few hours it felt like I'd made the right choice. + charming DQ stuff, as always + starts pretty strong - fun to begin working on the base, collecting monsters and unlocking fast travel spots Just doesn't have enough meat on the bones. Every part of it feels like a grind and the unskippable animations for various activities really make the lack of depth stand out. Wish I loved it but I don't. DQ Builders 1/2 are wildly superior.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Had to edit my review because people are really underselling this game. I picked this up totally at random, saw the launch trailer for switch, forgot about it and then it appeared on steam, and i was looking for a chill, colorful and calm game. This game is what i was looking for, and then some more; right from the start you have Akira Toriyama iconic art style that i find nostalgic and fun, the young protagonists sense of adventure, braving a world full of treasure and monsters! The game…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this would've made a GREAT 3DS game... It's a painfully average PC game in 2024 and beyond.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Huge Dragon Quest fan here. The first hour is VERY rough and super childish. I almost gave up but the game kept sprinkling in small things here and there that I kept thinking "ok...that's cool" or "I've never seen this in a game before." I was very surprised to discover a gaming experience unlike anything I've played over the last 40 years. It has a little of everything. -Base building -Monster collecting/recruiting -Action combat where your monsters fight alongside you in real time (your…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, loved these series! Buying to support the devs. Hopefully they will bring more to North America.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The TLDR is this is a on sale game at best.... Gameplay is decent but "story" seemed to be something the devs felt were optional. Its like they wanted to make a DQ version of World of Final Fantasy and did a DQ spin on it and made is awful. Beat the game in 18hrs which after that to get the "true"? ending you need to find 50 iconic treasures as the "story" Sorry yah the story was WEAK asf now you want me to do some RNG based crap to get the last piece of this 2 page long story for this game?…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dragon Quest Treasures now on PC, and optimized for Steam Deck.
neutral · AI labelView post →Bought this game because I loved DQXI, knowing that the games were very loosely related and were otherwise, very different games. Sadly, this game just did not land for me. The whole gameplay loop with collecting treasure could’ve worked well, but the fact that you can only hold a maximum of 9 treasures at a time, and that the treasures you find are random, makes the whole game feel sluggish. The combat really isn’t much fun either since the majority of it is just waiting for your team of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Once I got 9 hours in, that's when this game got boring. Not because of the music, not because of the story, because of the GAMEPLAY. 1. THE MONSTERS DON'T SHUT UP: I don't know what they were thinking where they decided to have your monster party members to say something literally EVERY 5 seconds. At first, its cute, its funny, I liked it. But after 30 mins to an hour, it gets old. And there is no option to turn it off. So while I look for treasure I am hearing the bat say "I like to…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great easy-going adventure game with a surprising amount of depth and content. Bonus points for being Steam Deck verified! Will gladly sell my Switch version and play here with increased resolution and FPS.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm a big Dragon Quest fan, so I may be bias here but... I really liked this game. It's simple, fun, very colorful and has that unique charisma of the franchise. PS: bring more Dragon Quest games to Steam ASAP!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is one of my favorite games right now. the gameplay is all in all cozy and smooth. you are free to do what you want to do, may it be following the mainline, do side quests, or just go treasure hunting. its a good game for playing casually, progress comes fast. so just get on, run one round through an area, or play for hours, its all fine. the combat is simple, there is really not much to know. at some point you dont even need to do much because your monsters will get it all done. the…

This fixes that problem entirely with its new graphics options. Game runs buttery smooth and looks fantastic on my low-mid tier pc so if you didn't get / didn't like the Switch version, definitely get this. Everything from the Switch version still exists such as the gift codes for the King Slime and Killing Machine and the online aspect stays as well. I am…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've been playing Dragon Quest/Warrior since 1, and this is a massive letdown that seems targeted at a younger audience but only accessible to older. If this were some other brand I wouldn't even have heard of the game. Tose has made some other great games like Dragon Quest Monsters, go play those instead. This feels more like a Squeenix cash grab. So many QoL failures. The dispatches and crafting feel like they intentionally waste time, digging up treasures feels unnecessarily long, waiting…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game rekindled my love for Dragon Quest series, I've been a fan since the Dragon Warrior name era. It is a great spinoff and refresher to the normal JRPG recipe gamers had been fed in the last couple of years, though there is nothing special about Treasures. If your childhood consisted of DQ franchise, then you will have a great time playing and reading about the items inside. One thing I hated is it took me 370 hours to 100% the game. QoL improvements are so needed and the small community…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dragon Quest Treasures is a spin off of DQ XI, which was an amazing game. It features younger versions of Erik and his sister on their quest to find treasure. The story is pretty simple, but the plot builds as you progress. The game is wonderfully colorful and vibrant. Enemies are classic DQ and the locations are varied and, at times, quite beautiful. The game features RPG-lite mechanics like leveling up and item usage, but it's more of an action/adventure game. You can roam an open world,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So... The game is kinda fun. I love the Treasure hunt part. What i really dont like is the lack of combat mechanics. You have a standard attack combo that you use over.... and over.... and over until the end of the game. Okay you can use a special attack but to fill the special bar... gues what. Yeah you have to attack over and over and over. I played through the game and thats basically the reason why i just couldnt find myself going for 100%. The Monster catching, team building and treasure…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love DQ and have played many of their games. But this one bored me so much I gave up playing. It could have been a good game - but the combat system is terrible and every battle felt the same.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a general rule I usually wait to finish a game to review it, but I can't forgive Square for marching this really pleasant game out to die with absolutely no marketing or advance warning. Truly the worst kind of shadowdrop. Even more baffling given that it's a really good port from what I've played so far, plus the day 1 Steam Deck Verified badge. I'll never understand you Square...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is very much a game for the Dragon Quest diehards but as someone who very much is in that camp, this put a big smile on my face constantly while playing. The gameplay loop revolves around setting out from your hideout to explore various floating islands to find treasures based on items/characters from previous Dragon Quest games. You'll glide, ride monsters, and climb around various biomes filled with tons of trinkets and monsters littered all over. The ability to expand your moveset by…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very minimal game, just a grind fest.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A little bit of the Dragon Quest Monsters formula mixed with an ARPG. Unshackled from the Switch at 60fps. Definitely going to take my time with this one. P.S. Type PEK into the Gift Code menu.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's pretty great that "optimized for steam deck" is a worthwhile feature for games now. I was really happy to see it listed as one of the main selling points in the Dragon Quest Treasures ad email that Square sent out.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dragon Quest Treasures is to the Dragon Quest™ franchise what I hoped WoFF would have been for Final Fantasy. There's so much love and care that went into this awe-inspiring map that lends to an insane amount of fun just collecting a boatload of treasure paired together with your standard JRPG experience. What you are getting is essentially a Hidden Object JRPG with a solid amount of questing involved (about 30-40h), a ton of collectibles, charming (sometimes annoying) monster companions, and a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish I could still refund this, but that aside, this game is only worth it on a deep sale, like under $20 or for very young children. Even then, it reminds me of the N64/PS era collect-a-thons, but with nothing interesting to keep you going. Story: It's your typical JRPG MacGuffin quest with some of the goofiness of DQ. Just a pinch. Your not missing anything, other than the vikings are portrayed more as adoptive parents than the cruel slave owners they're made out to be in DQ11. I think…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dragon Quest Treasures now on PC, and optimized for Steam Deck.
neutral · AI labelView post →The game is just okay. Clunky controls during combat with a single combo that takes 7 to 10 business days to recover from, near constant cutscenes after walking 10 feet, companion monster AI that would sooner throw itself into rivers/lava than fight the enemies... so many aspects of this feel like an afterthought. Traversal on the backs of monsters could've been a fun idea, but it has a timer. You can't interact with chests or levers (which there are a ton of) while on your monster, and then…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I couldn't recommend this game, even if you're a fan of the franchise, or you really love DQ11, take a pass on this game. There are better spin offs and better yet, if you've never played DQ Builders 1 and 2, get that instead, especially you're expecting a cosy experience from this game but instead it gives you nothing but headache from the lack of QOL and annoying rival and monster pestering you from doing what you want to do, in this case, treasure hunting.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun game I love dragon ball and dragon quest, grabbed this game on sale and was addicted to it for awhile. If you like a good RPG with loot, hack and slash game play and collectible monsters this game is for you. I would say if your a dragon quest builders fan pick this one up for sure it is real time combat so no turn based. Strong 8/10 on this one go give it a shot!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR DONT TRY TO GET ALL THE ACHIEVEMENTS, IT IS NOT WORTH IT This game is really hard to recommend, on one hand It is really mindless and repetitive, but on the other hand looking for treasures and recruiting monsters is a fun mechanic.

The extremely juvenile beginning was off-putting to me (uh, is this a game for 7-year olds or adults? Answer: both!) but once I got past that and into the "meat" of the game I found a lot to enjoy. The exploration is fun, expanding your loot is fun, and recruiting and optimizing monsters is fun, etc. Also, the "Japan" is dialed up to 11 and the localization is fantastic (so many puns o.O) so that doesn't disappoint.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A BotW-lite structured in bite sized mission chunks where the goal is to find DQ related treasure and upgrade you gang as much as possible! Once again Dragon Quest nails the casual yet addictive formula. It isn't rewriting the book on anything it's doing here, but I'll be damned if it isn't fun and cozy to play.

Kind of a very chill open world adventure, creature collector, action-RPG, treasure hunting, exploration gatcha game. It feels a little like Monster Hunter in that you head out to one of a dozen or so different large open world areas to search for various things, come back to the base, upgrade somethings, manage your team and then plan the next outing. There's RNG involved in almost everything you do, but that's kind of the…
