Dragon Quest IV is a perfectly good JRPG that’s had a lot of its magic ripped out of it by this particular remake, which was actually done in 2007 for the DS. It really deserves a full mobile remake to justify its price.

- 8.0Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen is another fantastic release from Square Enix that works just as well as a mobile RPG as it does as a DS release. If you've got a few bucks to spare, why not pick this up for a nice weekend play?
- 9.0Dragon Quest IV remains a classic JRPG. The iOS treatment is great, and delivers a largely non-compromised experience. Players that have been looking to experience this revered title should feel very satisfied spending $15 to play it on their mobile device.
- 9.0Dragon Quest IV’s thick text doesn’t detract from the overall experience, however. There’s so much to find and fight that you won’t have time to grouse over the game’s accents (though you may have issues with the forced portrait mode, despite the fact it works well). This is one long quest, but it will never drag on.
- The game's unique style of unrolling its story feels just as pleasantly unusual today as it did 25 years ago, and thanks to the restoration of the inter-party chatter, the memorable characters shine even brighter than they already did. If you like RPGs, this is a game you need to play. It's a fantastic port of one of the true essentials of the genre.
- 8.0There are Slimes to kill, chests to unlock, and a huge game to get deeply lost in. And if that's the sort of thing you're looking for, then it's unlikely you'll leave Dragon Quest 4 disappointed. A solid port of a remarkable game, Dragon Quest 4 might creak at the joints nowadays, but it's still worth your time
