About Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is a remake of 1988’s Dragon Quest III, the first chronological story in the Erdrick Trilogy. The protagonist of the game, known as the Hero, sets on a path from the castle town of Aliahan on a quest by its king to vanquish the archfiend Baramos.
