Update [Fri 13th Jan, 2023 15:30 GMT]: A few weeks after the Japanese demo dropped on the eShop, you can now download the Dragon Quest Treasures demo from the North American and European eShop!
We thought it would eventually happen, and Square Enix confirmed earlier today (via the official Dragon Quest Twitter) that the demo is ready for download. And just like in the Japanese demo, you can transfer your save data.
Go treasure hunting, Dragon Quest fans!
Original article [Fri 23rd Dec, 2022 02:05 GMT]: Square Enix is ​​known for releasing pretty generous game demos, and this time it’s back with one for its latest Dragon Quest spin-off, Dragon Quest Treasures.
This game hit the Switch earlier this month and was generally well received by critics. We gave the title eight out of ten stars in our Nintendo Life review – calling it a “great” introduction to the RPG genre. It can be just as fun for veterans.
So if you’ve been wanting to try this game out and happen to have access to a Japanese eShop account, you can now download the full demo from there. It also includes English subtitles, suggesting that the demo may be released worldwide at some stage.
Another thing to note is that you can play until you start collecting treasure. Players can also transfer data from the demo version to the full version if they choose to purchase it.
