What Dragon Quest Walk is and who it suits
Dragon Quest Walk is a location-based RPG for Android in which your character moves when you move in the real world. It is aimed at people who want to walk more and still play an RPG set in the Dragon Quest world, and at fans of the series who want to recruit monsters.
Most of the game happens on a map of your surroundings, so the route you take outdoors is the route your character takes in the game. The listing presents it as a way to fold walking into everyday travel such as commuting.
Logging walks and growing slimes
The walking log feature, あるくんですW, records the results of your walks and lets you check reports on them. The listing presents this as a way to track your activity while you adventure.
Slimes raised with your walking results grow into different forms, and the listing says the form they take depends on how you walk.
Battles, healing spots and party members
Monsters appear near you on the map. Tap one to start a battle, and winning raises your character's level.
Healing spots (かいふくスポット) are found by walking to them and tapping them. They restore HP and MP and give items. As quests progress, new companions join your party, and you equip them with gear matched to their job. Friends and family can form a party together.
Monster hearts and special field spots
Defeated monsters sometimes drop a monster heart. Each heart has an effect that depends on the monster it came from, and you can equip hearts to make your characters stronger.
Heart chances (こころチャンス) appear on the field from time to time. The listing says they make monster hearts easier to get and that rarer monsters sometimes show up there.
Cooperative battles, regional quests and AR photos
Mega monsters wait on the field, and you can join other players to fight them together. The listing describes them as stronger than regular monsters.
Some monsters appear only in certain regions, and local quests (ご当地クエスト) tie the game to the place you are in. An AR mode lets you photograph monsters at real-world spots.
