Like other mobile DQ titles, Keshi Keshi also uses stamina to limit the playtime. The max stamina that recovers normally is 5, at a recovery speed of 1 heart each 15 minutes. Players can also get more stamina by buying stamina, receiving it from in-game friends, or beating new stages. Stamina can overflow, meaning it's possible to gather much more than 5 hearts, however stamina won't start automatically refilling until there are less than 5 hearts. | Like other mobile '"DQ'' titles, Keshi Keshi also uses stamina to limit the playtime.

Dragon Quest Keshi Keshi (ドラゴンクエストけしケシ Doragon Kuesuto Keshi Keshi) is a mobile puzzle game in which characters, monsters, and items from the Dragon Quest series become erasers and are matched in order to erase graffiti. "Keshi" is the Japanese word for eraser and often refers to collectible miniature figures in the shape of popular anime and manga characters. It was announced on May 27th, 2021 during a Youtube livestream celebrating the series' 35th anniversary.
Gameplay
The game's official trailer began with drawings of a Spirit and a Bubble slime slowly being erased as more and more icons were matched. The gameplay is similar to match-three puzzle games such as Bejeweled or Candy Crush that were made popular in the early 2000s, and later in the mid 2010s.
The base gameplay is a match-three puzzle game where the goal is to defeat enemies, by swapping the placement of erasers and doing combos. By connecting 3 of the same unit, the player damages adjacent enemies. Doing a 4-line combo creates a line eraser, which can be either vertical or horizontal. Finally, combining 5 or more units of the same kind creates a skill eraser. Skill erasers can have a variety of effects like casting healing spells or unleashing powerful offensive skills, depending on the unit. For instance, an Archdemon will always use Kaboom, and a Pink sanguini will always cast Midheal. Line erasers and skill erasers can be combined too. Combining two line erasers makes them fire a line vertically and another horizontally from the spot they were combined in. Mixing two different skill erasers, unleashes both. Combining a line eraser and a skill eraser increases the width of the line eraser and unleashes the skill eraser. Finally, combining two skill erasers of the same kind creates a remix, a much powered-up version of the skill.
Some stages have hazards, movement-blocking pieces, and moving spaces, to spice up the game.
Scoring depends on combos, damage dealt and remaining HP at the end of the puzzle. If the player reaches a certain score -which varies depending on the puzzle-, a minimedal will be awarded to them. Gathering minimedals rewards the player with some consumables, and rare erasers and items.
Like other mobile '"DQ titles, Keshi Keshi also uses stamina to limit the playtime. The max stamina that recovers normally is 5, at a recovery speed of 1 heart each 15 minutes. Players can also get more stamina by buying stamina, receiving it from in-game friends, or beating new stages. Stamina can overflow, meaning it's possible to gather much more than 5 hearts, however stamina won't start automatically refilling until there are less than 5 hearts.
