Perfect game. Replayed it after so many years and it's even better than the first time.

Game #44

Cute and very unique! I don't know that I love the tank combat but it's certainly unlike anything else I've done and a good use of the dual screens.

The best dragon quest game. I'll never kill a slime again


I wish I could like this game. It's really charming, the sprites are all super cute and it has references to a bunch of classic JRPGs.

Unfortunately, the gameplay is kinda boring. I understand it's meant to be a game for kids, but I think it's too simple to be interesting for too long. It lacks depth and it felt repetitive very quickly. I thought it was very unique at first, and it is, but after just a few hours I noticed it would be the same thing over and over with little to no changes, so I was disappointed.

That said, this is a Dragon Quest game, so the songs are on point. The art is incredible, each character has its own personality and the sprite-work is super pretty. Too bad this game is not for me, I think if I played this when I was a kid, I would have loved it.

One of those weird games that it seems only I really had as like, a childhood milestone, but its just good fun and has a lot of charm, and its odd genre combo makes it pretty cool as well, more people should hop on it

How can a game so simple be so much fun?

Bastante bueno si tienes cinco años

CWs for Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime: fatphobia

An extremely cute and very slight 2D Zelda-like where you slingshot around as the DQ Slime and get into manual Tower Defense-offs with other DQ monsters. The sense of character is joyous in the expected cutesy ways that doesn't ever get old, but the tank fights have an RPG-y resource grind tacked onto them that doesn't ever really expand how the encounters work. The grind is avoidable, but it makes the late tank fights really drag on because of how numbers scale. Can't complain too much because of how forgiving and brief the whole thing is, but it's also def not like some hidden masterpiece of the franchise.

This game is a joy. What a silly and fun experience. The game isn't too hard once you crack your tank setup and know what you need to do but its such a charming, colourful and playful time that it doesn't matter.

Great game lots of areas to explore lots of monsters and items to collect and upgrading your tank feels satisfying

I don’t think I’ve ever played another game quite like this before. Also I just love playing anything dragon quest related. Such a fun series

Really charming and cute with a lot of depths if you so desired to get into it

um dos meus novos favoritos de nds! muito engraçado, divertido, polido. é claramente um jogo feito com muito carinho, que eu quaaase platinei mas vou deixar pra uma próxima. ótimo pra melhorar o mood do dia tb

pequeño juego tonto y travieso de hacer amigos y bombardear tribus extranjeras

A masterclass in bridging together multiple genres and creating a satisfying gameplay loop that continuously feeds into itself. I want to explore so I can do better in tank battles, I want to participate in tank battles to save more Slimes and continue exploring, both gameplay styles are perfectly balanced and equally fun.

I dropped it, but it's not like I heavily disliked it or anything. I actually enjoy many things about this game. The humor, recruitment stuff, even the tank battles are fun sometimes.
But the elephant in the room- it focuses on the tank battles/building too much for me. This combined with exploration feeling slow and you only having essentially one move bogs it down quite a bit.
My overall feelings towards this game lean on the positive side, but I don't quite have the motivation to continue it.

oh god I played this infinite times as a kid I need to replay it

Really fun little Zeldalike with some unique mechanics to keep things fresh. It’s not too long, and it’s lovely.

Oddball combination of Zelda-like top-down exploration, Suikoden-esque base-building, and tactical mega-tank artillery battles. Each system feeds into the next. Simple and brief, but still feels like a second-tier handheld game to me.
