Gameplay

Dragon Quest Treasures is an action role-playing game in the Dragon Quest series. The player travels throughout the open world, which is a set of five islands on the back of a dead dragon. The player collects monsters, finds buried treasures, and builds a base to store the treasure in. The monsters each have one of five special abilities, called Fortes: Sprint, Launch, Glide, Stealth, and Scan. The player uses these abilities to explore the world. While the player can collect many monsters, only three can be taken from the base at a time with the main characters, which limits the player's combination of abilities. In addition to treasure hunting, the player undertakes quests from residents of the islands, generally to deliver items.[2]

Plot

Dragon Quest Treasures is a prequel to Dragon Quest XI. It follows two characters from that game, the siblings Erik and Mia. The pair of children, looking for adventure, journey to Draconia, a group of islands in the clouds. They search the island for treasure, especially the seven legendary Dragonstones, build a base to store it, and fight pirates looking to steal from them.

Development

The game was first announced on May 27, 2021, as a spinoff title to Dragon Quest XI.
