I think Dragon Quest Heroes is far enough removed from the standard musou experience that even if you’re not a Dynasty Warrior fan of some sort, you can still get a whole lot of enjoyment out of this title. More so if you’re a Dragon Quest fan to begin with, but barring that, I still think Dragon Quest Heroes is worth checking out.

Unless you've played a million Dynasty Warriors games or can't stomach Dragon Quest without turn-based gameplay, this is definitely worth playing.

It’s charming, colorful, and offers enough content to keep both action fans and Dragon Quest aficionados occupied for quite some time.

Dragon quest Heroes is a great game. Whether you like the muso genre or not, you'll have a great time.

Dragon Quest Heroes feels like a simple distraction, but it actually has quite a bit of depth.

Dragon Quest Heroes is like watching TV shows on Dave. It’s great at the time, but repeats itself all too often.

The cluelessness-as-heroism and over-the-top fighting don’t fulfill or complement the infectiously positive tone.
