Thanks to Amazon Prime Day and Walmart Deals Week, the gorgeous reimagining of the classic JRPG is now available for just <strong data-start=\"321\" data-end=\"328\">$35<\/strong>, down from its original $60. That\u2019s the lowest price the game has seen since its release, and depending on your console of choice, it might be worth acting fast.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"493\" data-end=\"920\">The deal is available on Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X, but there\u2019s a bit of a catch. If you\u2019re a PS5 player, you\u2019ll need to grab your copy from Amazon, since Walmart doesn\u2019t have it in stock. On the flip side, Xbox Series X copies are only available at Walmart right now, Amazon sold out on July 9. Switch owners have the easiest time here, with both retailers still offering the deal as of now.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"922\" data-end=\"1408\">Now, if you\u2019ve never played <em data-start=\"950\" data-end=\"968\">Dragon Quest III<\/em>, don\u2019t worry, this is the perfect entry point. It\u2019s technically a prequel to the first two games in the <em data-start=\"1074\" data-end=\"1088\">Dragon Quest<\/em> series, so you don\u2019t need to know anything going in. The HD-2D Remake takes the original 1988 classic and gives it a full visual glow-up, complete with Square Enix\u2019s signature pixel-meets-modern-art style. It\u2019s the same art direction used in <em data-start=\"1331\" data-end=\"1350\">Octopath Traveler<\/em> and <em data-start=\"1355\" data-end=\"1368\">Live A Live<\/em>, and it looks absolutely stunning here.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1410\" data-end=\"1828\">But this remake isn\u2019t just a facelift. The music has been reorchestrated, the gameplay has been modernized with quality-of-life improvements, and there are a few new tweaks that make the whole experience feel smoother without losing the charm of the original. The non-linear structure is still intact, and so is the innovative class-switching system that helped define what console RPGs could be back in the late \u201980s.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1830\" data-end=\"2214\">Even if you\u2019re new to JRPGs, <em data-start=\"1859\" data-end=\"1877\">Dragon Quest III<\/em> is surprisingly easy to jump into. It balances classic, turn-based gameplay with just enough modern polish to feel timeless. And with Square Enix planning to release remakes of <em data-start=\"2055\" data-end=\"2076\">Dragon Quest I & II<\/em> as a bundled package later this year (dropping October 30), this is a great way to start what fans lovingly call The Erdrick Trilogy.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2216\" data-end=\"2472\">It\u2019s rare for a remake like this, especially one with this level of care and visual beauty \u2014 to see such a steep discount so soon after launch. So if you\u2019ve ever wanted to dive into one of the most beloved RPG franchises ever, now\u2019s a great time to do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019ve been curious about Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake but holding off because of the price, now\u2019s your moment\u2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":80428,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[30598,30601,30600,30599],"class_list":["post-80427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-gaming","tag-dragon-quest","tag-dragon-quest-3","tag-dragon-quest-3-hd-2d","tag-dragon-quest-3-hd-2d-remake"],"reading_time":"3 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80427"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80427\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/80428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
