Dragon Warrior I & II

Game Details:

"Dragon Warrior I&II" includes the first and sequel of the series, telling the story of the confrontation between the Hero clan and the Demon King. The first game is mainly a solo adventure, where the player, as the hero, needs to challenge the Dragonlord and save the kidnapped princess; while "Dragon Quest II" expands the world view and system, the player will lead multiple heroes to travel together, exploring a more vast map and facing more complex battles. The game adopts turn-based combat and the classic experience value growth mechanism. The art style continues Akira Toriyama's design, and the plot is concise but extremely epic. As a pioneer of early RPGs, it laid the foundation for the tone and influence of the entire series.

Editor's Recommendation:

We recommend "Dragon Warrior I&II" not only because it's a classic retrospective, but also because it represents the starting point of Japanese RPGs. Whether it's the loneliness of the hero's solo adventure, or the bond of fighting side by side after companions join, players can feel the joy of character growth and the passion of adventure. For nostalgic players, this is the best opportunity to relive their youthful memories; for new players, it is an important work to understand the history of RPG development. Even in today's gaming environment, it can still bring a pure adventure and exploration experience.

Game Guide:

In "Dragon Warrior I", the key in the early stages is to level up and buy equipment. It is recommended that players repeatedly defeat slimes and small monsters near the town, accumulate gold coins and experience, upgrade the weapon to the copper sword first, and then gradually upgrade the armor. Before entering the dungeon, be sure to prepare enough herbs to prevent insufficient physical strength during long exploration. Although the hero's role is singular, reasonable leveling and equipment can ensure the smooth defeat of the Dragonlord.

In "Dragon Warrior II", the scale of the adventure expands, and the number of team members also increases, making it more strategic. It is recommended to find partners as soon as possible in the early stages, and reasonably distribute the equipment of the characters, letting the warrior take on the front-line output and defense, and the mage is responsible for auxiliary and attack magic. Pay more attention to the NPC conversations in the town during exploration, they will provide key task clues and the location of hidden items. In addition, the map is more complex than the previous work, and players should make good use of items and magic to shorten the return trip or avoid danger. Mastering the rhythm and not blindly taking risks is an important secret to clearing the game.
