The first version of Square Enix’s Lady Lora-saving slime-battling RPG, Dragon Quest, is now available on your smartphone…for free! But hurry up and download it fast, it’s only available to the first one million downloaders.
The smartphone version of the internationally best-selling console RPG was originally price at 500 yen (US$4.91), but it’s now completely free from the Dragon Quest official site (Japanese only). The first through eighth generation of Dragon Quest is scheduled to be turned into a mobile gaming app, and Docomo, one of Japan’s largest cell phone providers, will release a special “Dragon Quest Smartphone,” which has the games preinstalled, on December 12.
If you care for a bit of nostalgia, then be quick to download this awesome game at a price that can’t be beat. It would be awful to be the 1,000,001st downloader…
