The Dragon Quest series is no stranger to the mobile game realm, having released other titles including ports of its own numbered series to the platform in the past. Now, Square Enix is stepping up with a new, standalone spin-off titled Dragon Quest Tact. As the name might suggest, Dragon Quest Tact is a tactics-based free to play role-playing game. Which means it has all of the typical mobile/gasha game-style bones but coated with its own strategy RPG and monster catching paint. Recently we were allowed access to an early version of the game in English ahead of its Western launch in 2021. If you’ve dabbled in any sort of free-to-play game, the setup and structure of Dragon Quest Tact will feel very familiar - or at least it did to me as someone who frequently plays the Dragon Ball mobile titles. The game leads with a base tutorial of sorts before dropping you into its menu where you’ll be able to get a start on the story content. Enter the realm of Orchesterra – a place where a dormant evil threatens all. Well it wouldn’t be Dragon Quest without that element, and it’s up to you as the hero to keep peace among

Dragon Quest Tact is a new "simple-yet-deep" tactical RPG for iOS and Android that Square Enix is planning to bring overseas in early 2021. Announcing the localization today, the company shared 10 million players had registered to play since the title's launch in Japan this summer. Square Enix sets up the game's story like so: "Long ago, when an evil force brought the world of Orchesterra to the brink of destruction, a legendary hero led a loyal band of monsters in defiance. Thanks to their courage and wit, the dark lord was sealed away, bringing peace to the world. Ages have passed, and once again the threat of evil looms over Orchesterra -- Will you rise to the task?" In this game you'll recruit classic Dragon Quest series monsters and battle through the world of Orchesterra using a grid-based battle system. Said monsters can be collected and trained as you go and keeping your team diverse will be important to taking on various challenges, including higher-difficulty content in the "Battle Road." The game will be free-to-play and feature in-app purchases. English, French, Traditional Chinese and Korean languages will be supported. Additionally, Square Enix will be conducting a closed beta test on Android devices sometime soon.

It appears that another spinoff Dragon Quest title is in the works. Revealed during a Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai livestream event on the official Youtube Channel for V Jump, Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai - Infinity Strash is an RPG adventure that is currently in development for "home gaming consoles." According to the official website, which was simultaneously released alongside the trailer, the game is currently set for a 2021 launch in Japan, and the consoles that it will release on are still "to be determined."
