I tried all Dragon Warrior games under NES emulators, and no one really interested me. The games were interesting, but had slow controller response and all, and playing them became quickly annoying. But for some reason the third was the one which was the closest to catch me, mainly for its good music. Then I got the chance to purchase the GBC version of the same game, so I did.
It was surprisingly good. Dragon Warrior III is a classic and basic game. This doesn't retain the game to be fun, however!
You take the control of Loto (or Erdrick), the legendary hero of. This comes chronologically before the first Dragon Quest, even trough it has been made later. The Demon Lord Baramos attempts to rule the world to evil and hatred, and your father got on a journey to defeat him while you were still a baby. He didn't return from battle for any reason, and you're 16 years old now, so you must follow him, but that time with 3 companions to help you to fight. Now go on, the adventure begins!!
The game is almost unlinear. After completing the first few quests, you can go pretty much anywhere you want. What determines where you'll be going to complete your quest is all item driven. To defeat Baramos, you need to go to his castle. To go to his castle, you need a legendary bird that will allow you to fly over the world. To get that legendary bird, you must have 6 colored orbs. To have the orbs.
Continue a very very long list of items here in that manner and you're doing the whole game backwards. Anyway, you aren't under the impression of being forced to do something, you just are constantly growing stronger and collecting key items.
Dragon Warrior III is an online GBC game that you can play at Emulator Online. This free Game Boy Color game is the United States of America region version for the USA. Dragon Warrior III is a single title from the many adventure games and rpg games offered for this console.
The backgrounds are very well done, it looks just like an average SNES game, even trough it's a GBC which has slightly lower power than the SNES. Now monsters are animated unlike the original NES version.
The characters, while still being typical blocky 16x16 sprites, looks much closer to the original artwork than they did on the NES, and I really like them that way. You have typical Game Boy characters, but made the right way.
Musics are, overall, splendid! You got variations of the same theme in village for day and night: It is more dancing the day and rather calm at night. Musics in dungeons are dark and mysterious. You really cannot go far in the game without found yourself humming all music from the game anywhere.
Eventually, the gameplay is solid. It has turn per turn battle system, and each ally can have various classes.
