Dragon Quest V is a classic turn based RPG like the games before it with even more new elements of gameplay. There is now a backround to the battle screen like in the original Dragon Quest. Although not prominent in the beginning of the game monster recruiting is a valuable addition to the game. Monsters not only join you but level up and learn new abilities as well. Also new is the fact that certain weapons can attack multiple enemies. Weapons like whips could attack groups of enemies while boomerangs could attack all monsters on screen. Unlike Dragon Quest IV the battle AI is optional throughout the entire game allowing players to once again fully control all their parties actions. | Dragon Quest V is a classic turn based RPG like the games before it with even more new elements of gameplay.
