With many of the earlier Final Fantasy games now available via iOS and Android platforms, Square Enix in recent months have shifted their attention to smartphone ports of Enix’s Dragon Quest video games. The company has today confirmed that Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride is now available for purchase on iPod Touch, iPad, iPhone and Android devices through the App Store and Google Play at a price of $14.99.
Serving as the second title in Dragon Quest’s Zenithian trilogy, Dragon Quest V is an adventure that takes place over three generations – with new characters introduced in each and events from earlier generations affecting the next. This game tells the story of a young Hero traveling the world with his father, Pankraz. Over the course of their many adventures, and after discovering a world filled with peculiar creatures and fantastical realms, he grows up and resolves to continue his father’s unfinished quest – to find the Legendary Hero.
With its simple and intuitive controls that work perfectly with the vertical layout of mobile devices (facilitating both one and two-handed play), DRAGON QUEST V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride also allows players to rotate their viewpoint in towns and villages through a full 360-degree view. In addition, the title includes work from the legendary trio of creators – Master Creator Yuji Horii, revolutionary Music Composer Koichi Sugiyama and Art Director Akira Toriyama – setting forth a truly stunning and thrilling tale.
