Beautifully reorchestrated music by Koichi Sugiyama
Long lifespan

Speed up the fights... not fast enough, actually.
DQ I is always a little too short

wccftech
New content mastefully expands both games' story and gameplay without changing their classic feel
Gorgeous HD-2D visuals
Rearranged soundtrack makes original music shine, especially in Dragon Quest II HD-2D Remake
The basic JRPG formula of both games can become tiring after a while, especially if both games are played back-to-back

Vandal
An audiovisual ode to the pioneers of Japanese role-playing games.
All improvements in terms of quality of life that enhance the original experience.
These small additions that connect the loose threads of the Erdrick trilogy.
Being able to enjoy both original NES games would have been the icing on the cake.
The order in which the trilogy was released may give the impression that these two titles are somewhat simpler than the third installment.

Nintendoros
The major additions to these two classics.
The artistic style suits him perfectly.
Many improvements in all areas.
Despite the layer of paint, there is still something archaic about certain aspects.
It can be repetitive.

Games.ch
Beautiful tribute to two absolute classics
Epic and moving story with a masterful musical soundtrack.
Enchanting environments where there is much to discover
Many significant extensions in the history and gameplay
Fun facilities for every need
The gameplay may seem a bit austere and one-dimensional, especially in the first installment, from a current perspective.
Even the most beautiful music can become annoying over time.
An uneven level of difficulty can sometimes lead to unfair matchups.
He who does not like to grind, bites the dust.

Two quite complementary games in one
Impeccable rhythm and exploration
Three levels of difficulty
Sumptuous graphic style
Music always so splendid
Some appreciable new features
Fights always too rigid
Grind sometimes unavoidable
The original games are not included as a bonus.

Nintendo-Town
La HD-2D au sommet de son art
De belles illustrations clés
Le choix du mode Graphisme ou Performance
Un gameplay classique, solide et fidèle au genre
Les apports du système de sceaux
Les options de confort bienvenues
Une bande-son orchestrale enchanteresse
Choix du doublage anglais ou japonais
Durée de vie convenable en combinant les deux jeux
Un scénario classique mais entraînant
Une réécriture bien faite et reliant très bien les jeux
Traduction en français
Un incontournable 2 en 1 du RPG à emporter partout !
Quelques éléments de gameplay demeurent archaïques
Des choix et/ou absences d?options de confort étranges
Pas de doublage en français
Dragon Quest I est difficile et frustrant
L?OST de Dragon Quest I tourne vite en rond
Classique, du coup prévisible et attendu

Total respect for the original work
Defiant and complex
In terms of gameplay, it's an RPG of its time, despite the improvements.
The story and characters are not very deep.

The new HD-2D look is still beautiful and respectful.
Significant additions and various options to customize the parts
Dragon Quest II is by far the most polished and captivating remake.
Dragon Quest I is the weakest title in the trilogy.
The combat system remains archaic despite the new features.
The progress of other times can sometimes become frustrating.

The best version of all time for two games that have made history.
Many improvements and additions that make the gaming experience smoother and more intriguing, even for those who have already played both chapters.
Unique atmospheres and settings from another era
The HD-2D graphics remain a feast for the eyes.
Despite all the modernizations, they remain children's games of their time.
