Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

About

A traditional Japanese-style role-playing game, *Dragon Quest VIII* follows a lone guard, the transformed King Trode, and a princess turned into a horse as they pursue the jester Dhoulmagus to break a curse on their kingdom. The game employs random enemy encounters, a turn-based combat system, and a four-character party with class-based roles, set in a seamless open world with fully rotatable camera views. Players earn skill points to develop abilities and use an alchemy system to craft items from gathered recipes.
