Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 (ドラゴンクエストモンスターズ ジョーカー3) is a 2016 Nintendo 3DS console role-playing game published by Square Enix in Japan. As of now, the game has not been localized for the west. It is the sequel to 2010's Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2.

Like with Joker 2, a revamped version of the game titled Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 Professional was released on February 7th, 2017 in Japan with new monsters and characters returning from the first two games in the series.

Story[edit]

The silver-haired protagonist is on a journey to recover his lost memories, while trying to figure out where a new, dark breed of monsters has originated.

Gameplay changes[edit]

  • BREAK Monsters are introduced. They have a dark crystalline appearance to them. So far, they are stated to be "mysterious evil versions of monsters".
  • Instead of the usual three slots allotted for a monster team, there are now four.
  • The hero can also ride around on several different kinds of monsters, using them for transportation.
  • In battle, there is a new "Strategy" command available. Selecting this command offers six different options, such as "Accumulate Tension" or "Use Special Skills". If Tension is accumulated, the attack will be more powerful, and the Scout Gauge will rise more easily.
  • A monster can also be equipped with accessories that raise its capabilities. By handing over materials like shrubs and ores to the accessory shop, accessories are created that offer various effects. Each accessory can have a maximum of three effects.
