Dragon Quest 1, 2 and 3 Out Now on Switch

Celebrating the release of Dragon Quest XI S, Square Enix has also released three classic games from the franchise on the Nintendo Switch. Available on the eShop, the original Dragon Quest, Dragon Quest 2: Luminaries of the Legendary Line, and Dragon Quest 3: The Seeds of Salvation are priced at $4.99 (roughly Rs. 353), $6.49 (roughly Rs. 459), and $12.49 (roughly Rs. 883) respectively.

While many gamers west of Japan are unfamiliar with the earlier games in the series, the Dragon Quest franchise has heavily influenced many RPGs, both Japanese as well as Western.

Check out the official description of the story below:

“The three-part saga begins with an epic journey as the “Hero,” a legendary descendent of Erdrick, through the enchanting realm of Alefgard. A century later, in Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line, players will work as a young prince of Midenhall as he sets out with his cousins – two additional descendants of Erdrick – to defeat an evil wizard named Hargon. The third title of the Erdrick saga, Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation, has players travel through the land of Aliahan, where a young hero embarks on a quest to save the world from the wickedly evil and impenetrable Demon Lord, Baramos.”
