User Reviews

Review consensus: Dragon Quest VIII on iOS is loved for its core RPG charm and open-world appeal, and the HD visuals are praised. However, the mobile port is hampered by missing features and stability issues: no controller support, no voice acting or orchestral audio, a clunky UI, and persistent bugs that cause crashes and freezes (especially during saves). Orientation is limited to landscape, and some content from the original (e.g., Dragon Soul) is missing. Fans hope for updates and fixes, including external audio support and better controls.

Pros

Beloved Dragon Quest VIII experience with a strong story and open-world feel.
HD remake visuals look great and overall graphical quality is improved.
Mobile-friendly controls that work well for one-handed play.
Ongoing updates and continued development from the team.

Cons

No controller support.
No voice acting and missing orchestral music.
Frequent crashes and freezes, especially around saving and battles.
Orientation is limited to landscape (no portrait mode).
UI feels clunky and some content/features from the original are missing.

Desperately needs controller support

by St*****, 2026-03-25

This is a phenomenal game! BUT the one thing that would make it better and I would give it 5 stars if they would do this is give in controller support! I hate using touchscreen. I want to play on my iPad and it would make it so much easier with controller support.

I agree with the others that missing the orchestral music and voice acting sucks. What really got on my nerves was them removing Dragon Soul altogether. Unless I ran into a weird glitch. My Hero is level 71 with 100 courage, spears, and swords…I loved this game on the PS2 and started the series on the NES.
