Following the successful launch of DRAGON QUEST ™ VIII: Journey of the Cursed King™ on mobile devices, SQUARE ENIX® today announced that its chapter-based role-playing game (RPG), DRAGON QUEST IV: Chapters of the Chosen™, is now available on iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, and Android devices.
The first installment in the Zenithian Trilogy, DRAGON QUEST IV: Chapters of the Chosen features an epic adventure that unfolds over five unique chapters – each focused on a different cast of characters on a journey to save the world. In the far-flung corners of the globe, players get to experience each storyline from the perspective of the “Hero’s” future companions, with the fifth chapter told directly from the “Hero’s” standpoint.
“DRAGON QUEST IV: Chapters of the Chosen really encapsulates all the JRPG elements DRAGON QUEST fans covet – a fascinating story combined with classic RPG gameplay,” said Noriyoshi Fujimoto, producer of the mobile version of DRAGON QUEST IV: Chapters of the Chosen. “Given the title’s immense success on other platforms, we knew that re-releasing it for mobile devices was inevitable. Our fans can now re-live this compelling tale in one standalone package with 40-plus hours of battles, mysteries and a delightful ensemble of characters.”
DRAGON QUEST IV: Chapters of the Chosen lets mobile players embark on an epic journey to explore the land, seas and skies of the familiar DRAGON QUEST universe. Creating a truly direct and engaging experience, players cans slide their touchscreen to rotate camera viewpoints in order to explore towns and villages in full 360 degrees.
