Kenshin Dragon Quest: Yomigaerishi Densetsu no Ken
Gameplay and features
In order to play, the player uses a toy
This game is classified as Adventure, and not a traditional Role-playing game. This is because most of the game is set on a predetermined path that you can only travel in one direction, with few exceptions of side paths. Enemy encounters are set at predetermined locations and formations. This is in contrast to a Role-playing game focusing on dungeon crawling and open exploration.[6]
The monsters encountered are the standard variety from Dragon Quest titles, including slimes, moles and skeleton knights.[6] There are special bosses that reside at the end of each chapter. As the player builds up successful attacks and blocks with their shield, they build up a super meter. When this is completed, the player is enabled to unleash a powerful attack.[6]
Plot
Kenshin Dragon Quest takes place in the world of Alefgard, the same world as the first
The quest is broken into eight chapters that take you throughout all of the locations in Alefgard, many being the same as in Dragon Quest.
