Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride Review - IGN

With the speed of this business, and the sheer amount of titles that release on a monthly basis, it always feels like we're juggling dozens upon dozens of games at once for review. For me personally, that stack usually has at least one Square Enix title in it, and that means a lot of character grinding, story development, and battle systems to critique each and every go around. With that in mind, I haven't found a single RPG out there yet from the company (outside of maybe The World Ends With You) that has hooked me as hard as Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride has. This never-before-released RPG gem from 17 years ago is finally hitting the US and Europe market, and while there are things I'd most certainly like to see changed in Square's offering, I simply didn't want to ever put it down. This is truly one of the classic greats.
