Square Enix's Dragon Quest Monsters: Dark Prince Debuts on Android Globally

Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince – A Mobile Masterpiece?

Square Enix has brought the beloved Dragon Quest Monsters series to mobile devices with the release of Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince. Following its December 2023 launch on Nintendo Switch, this seventh installment in the franchise offers a fresh perspective on a familiar character.

Who is the Dark Prince?

Players take on the role of Psaro, a young man cursed by his father, the Master of Monsterkind, rendering him unable to harm monsters. To lift this curse, Psaro embarks on a journey to become a Monster Wrangler, teaming up with creatures to climb the ranks and ultimately challenge his father’s authority. Fans of Dragon Quest IV will recognize Psaro as the game's villain, but this mobile title unveils his story from a new, compelling angle.

The game unfolds in the enchanting world of Nadiria, where dynamic weather and seasonal changes significantly impact gameplay. Recruit and train over 500 unique monsters, combining them to create even more powerful allies. Environmental factors influence monster appearances, ensuring constant discovery and a vast array of creatures, from adorable to bizarre.
