Predating Square’s original Final Fantasy by nearly a year and a half, Enix’s Dragon Quest series exploded in popularity and became a cultural phenomenon. That passion continues even now with Dragon Quest’s latest release, Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, which was released last year.
Thanks to Prime Day, you can snag yourself a physical copy for $34.99 on PS5 and Switch. Even with some modern design updates and quality-of-life feature additions, this game still manages to provide that classic turn-based RPG goodness that fans look for.

Whereas the first two Dragon Quest titles (which are getting their own HD-2D remasters later this year) were more restrictive when it came to party composition, Dragon Quest III offers different classes to pick from to fill your team out with. With spell-slinging Mages, mighty Warriors, wacky Gadabouts, and even the brand-new Monster Wrangler, DQIII gives you flexibility in how you want to play.

Here at IGN, we adored this game when we reviewed it last year: “Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is the best-case scenario for a faithful remake of a classic role-playing game, and a shining example for developers to follow when setting out to revisit old, beloved adventures.
It spruces up the 36-year-old original with great quality-of-life improvements that enhance the journey without unrecognizably transforming it, along with a beautiful new coat of paint that proves Dragon Quest and the HD-2D art style are a perfect match.”
Thanks to this deal, there is no better time to pick up this fantastic game to make sure you are ready to go when Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake releases later this year on October 30, completing the Erdrick Trilogy.
