About the Nintendo Dragon Quest XI S Echoes of an Elusive Age

Dragon Quest XI S is the definitive Switch version of the long-running series' eleventh main entry: a turn-based JRPG with a silent hero, a party of colorful companions and a 60-plus hour story. This edition adds a 2D pixel-art mode, orchestral music and extra character side stories over the original release. It is a single-player, download-only game, so it suits players who want a long traditional RPG on the go rather than a short pick-up-and-play title.

Best forJRPG fans who want a long, traditional turn-based adventurePlayers new to Dragon Quest who want the most complete versionHandheld players who like switching between 3D and 2D modesFans of Akira Toriyama's art and classic fantasy stories

  • Orchestral soundtrack and Japanese voice option in this edition
  • 2D pixel-art mode offers a second way to play the whole game
