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 addictive 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, encompassing all previously released DLC, including the Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince Digital Deluxe Edition content. View the trailer below:
Comparison images showcasing the game's appearance on mobile, Switch, and Steam are available on the official Japanese website. Here's one example:
Importantly, store listings confirm the omission of the real-time online battle mode from the Switch version in both the Steam and mobile releases.
The Nintendo Switch version is priced at $59.99 (standard) and $84.99 (Digital Deluxe Edition). Anticipating a review on iPhone, iPad, and Steam Deck, I'm eager to revisit this title. This swift mobile port following the console release is commendable, especially considering the typical delays seen in the series (e.g., Dragon Quest Builders). The mobile price is set at $29.99, while the Steam version will cost $39.99. Pre-register on the App Store for iOS and Google Play for Android.
Have you experienced Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince on Switch? Will you be exploring it on mobile or Steam upon its September 11th launch?
