Dragon quest 8 journey of a cursed king is about a guardsman and a king name king trode and his daughter medea,one day an evil jester named domologus attacked the castle that they lived in, the only people who survived where the guardsman,the king and the princess the only thing is is that the king was turned into a green creature and the princess was turned into a horse.The three set out on an adventure to stop domologus, along the way they meet someone named Yangus who helps the hero(who is the guardsman) in the begining, they later meet a girl named Jessica and a man named Angelo that join them, jessica and angelo also have a reason to stop domologus.
I think this is the best DW/Q game besides the dragon warrior monster games although i do not have that many others(i only have 1&2,which i do not like, and dragon warrior monsters the original and terry's adventure, and dragon warrior 7) one thing i do not lie about this one is that there are a lot of gameboy sounds like when a character dodges an attack they make this annoying noise, i love the gameplay, unlike other DW/Q games you actually get to see the characters fight which is a good thing(i don't like how they only show the monsters in the others,see my DW7 review for more information about what i think about the other DW/Q games battle system) the graphics are great,the sound is great also.
Dragon Quest 8 the journey of a cursed king is an rpg game if you like rpg's then you might consider DQ 8.
