No difficulty.

Good game but I can only rate these 4 stars due to lack of difficulty. There is none. Great story and plenty to do but I wish there was a difficulty setting because there is no way to lose a battle. Without a challenge I just dread getting into battles because they just seem to be time wasters. Maybe eventually they will add harder difficulty options but until then 4* is all I can rate. Once again not a bad game I love this series but even the originals are way too easy. Feels like a beginners or an rpg geared to kids as an intro to rpgs.

Great Game, Cloud Saves Don’t Work

Square Enix wants to charge a premium price yet will only provide trash mobile support. The game’s cloud save function no longer works, so you’re stuck playing the game on the device you started on. Apple has expanded controller support, yet Square Enix Dragon Quest games do not support them. Not only that, but these games can only be played in portrait view. Making it awkward playing these games on larger phones or tablets, or even with your device connected to a tv. So Squeenix, either stop the premium price grab, or start providing a game experience that justifies the price. Because right now it’s almost just another mobile trash game.

Great game, but this version lessens it

This is the only version of the game with party chat available in non-Japanese languages, but it doesn’t have controller support and relies on on-screen controls without a landscape mode option. The graphics feel like an odd mix of different fidelities that are a bit jarring to me, but otherwise it’s tolerable.

Please Fix The Cloud Saves

Overall it’s a great game but 4-6 cloud services don’t seem to work at all, I recently bought a iPad and wanted to continue my progress but can’t due to their being some sort of error. All I ask if Square Enix can fix this problem from such an amazing game.

Great game! Need option to mute *all* sound

Great game, but the grinding is made almost unbearable since you can’t mute the sound (without turning your volume all the way down), which also means you can’t use your own music (Pandora/Spotify in the background). Super annoying. Many times I sit down to play but give up cause I just want some music playing at the same time. Fix that super frustrating option and I’d give at least a 4 star.

One of the best

My family and I first played DW4 on the Nintendo entertainment system (NES) many years ago. Back then it was a ground breaking game with new gameplay systems and character development. The iOS version is a great improvement over the original, and will be a enjoyable experience for anyone that likes JRPGs.

Best iOS Game

Just beat it! It took about 35 hours for me. I love this game!! Anyone complaining about the price needs to realize this is a PLATFORM GAME, not some little iphone game. Remember when we paid $50 for a new N64 game? It's like that, but cheaper, and with the convenience of playing from your iphone. 5 stars!

Better than the original!

It's always been a great game. Some character names changed slightly, but no biggie. Unlike the original version, you can control all of the characters instead of just setting their AI. It's been great replaying one of my all time favorites!
