Dragon Quest Tact will launch globally on January 27, Square Enix announced today, with pre-registration now available for both iOS and Android. English, French, Traditional Chinese, and Korean languages will all be supported for the global release.
In classic Dragon Quest fashion, Dragon Quest Tact sends you on a journey to save the world from the forces of evil. You’ll recruit iconic Dragon Quest monsters for tactical battles that play out on a grid-based map, and upgrade your favourites to strengthen your party. Basically, it’s a tactical RPG with gacha elements, a formula that’s worked well for games like Fire Emblem Heroes and War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius.
Android users have been able to pre-register since the global release of Dragon Quest Tact was first announced back in September, and as of today, pre-registration is available for iOS as well. Pre-registering will let Google Play or the App Store notify you when the game is available, and in the case of Google Play, you can optionally have it automatically download and install the game. For a limited time from launch, anyone who installs Dragon Quest Tact will get the King Slime monster for free.
