Dragon Quest series games in Microsoft Windows come as pure Windows software, or via game platforms. The latter comprise Steam, Xbox One, and Epic.
Games relying on a game platform are:
- Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below: Steam
- Dragon Quest Heroes II: Twin Kings and the Prophecy's End: Steam
- Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age: Steam. Later withdrawn from the store, being replaced by the "XI S Definitive edition".
- The Definitive Edition: Steam, Xbox One, Epic
- Dragon Quest Builders 2: Steam, Xbox One
Only one pure Windows game is Dragon Quest X online, an MMO installment. It can be played only in Japan.
Disadvantages to Japan[edit]
Although Dragon Quest games are from Japan, three out of the total four Steam ports cause some trouble to Japan. They can't be purchased if you live in Japan, and/or the Japanese environments are reduced from the original versions (or completely removed). This is an example of the notorious "omakuni" custom.[1]
