Square Enix not only announced Dragon Quest Heroes: Torneko’s Mystery Dungeon Classic HD for Switch 2 and Switch during today’s Nintendo Direct, but is also launching the game today. It can be downloaded digitally on both platforms.
Dragon Quest Heroes: Torneko’s Mystery Dungeon Classic HD is making its appearance outside of Japan for the first time. The visuals are also now in HD, plus there are quality-of-life improvements.
Square Enix shares the following details:
A charming remaster of the beloved 1993 DRAGON QUEST spin-off that’s never been released outside Japan, Dragon Quest Heroes: Torneko’s Mystery Dungeon -Classic HD- follows weapons merchant Torneko from DRAGON QUEST IV as he chases his dream of owning the greatest item shop in the world. Set in a storybook-inspired world created by Naoki Ikushima, known for his package illustrations of DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake and DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake, this remaster of the spin-off also features a new opening video. In addition to updated HD visuals, the game includes new quality-of-life updated.
Notable for kicking off the roguelike genre in Japan, Dragon Quest Heroes: Torneko’s Mystery Dungeon -Classic HD- is an endlessly replayable adventure as players dive into dangerous, constantly changing dungeons to find and escape with treasure to help grow Torneko’s shop.
While in the dungeons, every action Torneko takes – whether moving, attacking or using an item – gives the monsters a chance to attack as well. By defeating monsters, players earn experience points to level up Torneko and grow stronger.
We’ve got the official trailer below.
