It's basically the DQ equivalent of Final Fantasy Mystic Quest: an easy RPG for newbies to the genre. I'd give it a pass if I were you.

What are you smoking? Mystic Quest was neither easy nor for newbies.


 If you think Mystic Quest isn't easy, you must not be very good at games. Square's stated reason for making MQ was to create a dumbed-down, easy RPG for Americans in order to introduce them to the genre. As such, it is very easy - even easier than the 16-bit Final Fantasy games, which are petty simple in their own right.

Anyway, sorry for the derail. Suffice to say that DQ: Swords is an attempt at much the same thing, thus why it was met with lackluster reviews.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
