{{translation|'''Dragon Quest of the Stars'''|星のドラゴンクエスト|, Hoshi no Doragon Kuesuto | commonly abbreviated as "星ドラ"<ref group="note">This abbrevation is also used officially. For example the name of the [https://twitter.com/hoshidora_info official Japanese twitter account] is "星のドラゴンクエスト(星ドラ)公式" </ref>}}<ref group="note">The reason that the somewhat unnatural English name is chosen, rather than more natural "Dragon Quest ''of the Planets''", is guessed to be due to a translation glitch.[https://en-d9w.hatenablog.com/entry/title-of-the-stars]</ref> is a free-to-play touch based RPG for smartphones that is part of the ''[[Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'' series.

Character customization is similar to {{DQ9}}, in that armor is split between helmets, torso, leggings, and footwear. | |||

*Biollante's inclusion in the Godzilla event is an homage to the fact that [[Koichi Sugiyama]] wrote and performed the score for 1989's ''Godzilla vs Biollante''. | |||
*Rodan's event cinematic is an homage to the monster perching atop a building in New York City in 2004's ''Godzilla: Final Wars''. | |||
