Dragon Quest VIII lives again on iOS and Android

Square Enix is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Japanese launch of Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King by releasing the game on iOS and Android devices. The game was first released on PlayStation 2, and places players in the role of the unnamed “Hero,” challenged with tracking down an evil jester who has stolen a powerful scepter.

As a mobile release, the game has been redesigned with touch controls, offering the ability to tap and slide a finger on the screen to pan the camera a full 360 degrees around the player.
