Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King for PS2 and 3DS is another installment in the RPG series which are also known as Dragon Warrior and have been in development since the mid-80s. Those games were so popular in Japan that selling them during the weekdays became prohibited to stop them from drawing people away from their work. This game is the first installment of the saga to be dedicated to Sony PlayStation 2.

Plot

The dreadful Dhoulmagus managed to free hellish powers and cast a curse on the king as well as to turn the princess into a horse. The only person who can prevent an imminent disaster is, obviously, the player, who commands a party of adventurers (the warlike Yangus, adorable Jessica, and even the vicious ruler by the name of Trode himself, among others). The appearance of the virtual people was designed by the famous Akira Toriyama, who is primarily known thanks to his work on the Dragon Ball franchise. Naturally, over time, the characters gain new abilities, increase their strength and agility, collect various items, and so on.
