While big RPG blockbusters have dominated the headlines this summer, including Final Fantasy XVI’s action-based flair, Larian’s breakout Baldur’s Gate 3, and Bethesda’s Starfield looming on the horizon, there’s something to about smaller scale games that can sort of cleanse the palate between these massive outings and offer something a bit less intense. Dragon Quest Treasures is a game that fills that niche quite nicely. While the series is undoubtedly known for delivering its own massive RPGs that can handily rack up hours into the triple digits, Treasures is a light touch in comparison, aptly positioned for a short burst of gaming on handhelds versus a marathon session on the couch. A natural fit for the Nintendo Switch, on which it was released last December, I’m pleased to report that the “verified” Steam Deck version runs very well, with settings maxed out save for FPS at a steady 60. (You can set them up to 144fps or uncap them as well.) For a brief recap: Erik and Mia are siblings hailing from 2017’s Dragon Quest XI, and in their fledgling years are being raised by vikings who sail the seas in search of treasure. When they befriend two magical creatures, they are
