Square Enix and IceSitruuna have released the PC demos for Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined and Parasite Mutant, respectively. These PC demos will let you try these two games before they officially come out.
In Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, the characters designed by famous manga artist Akira Toriyama have been transformed into a cute 3D art style, using real dolls made in the real world. The environments and dungeons are also rebuilt with a unique diorama-style look, making the world of Dragon Quest feel like a beautiful, hand-crafted model come to life.
Dragon Quest VII Reimagined stays true to the original story but makes it easier to follow with a smoother, more streamlined adventure. Besides the main story, players can enjoy fun side quests, extra stories, and minigames. You’ll unlock and explore new worlds by finding fragments and completing tablets. Each world is full of exciting places, like busy towns, tough dungeons, and fun quests, giving you plenty to do and explore.
The turn-based battle system in Dragon Quest VII Reimagined has been updated to feel more fun and exciting. The new vocation system lets you do cool things. Moonlighting will let you use two vocations (jobs) at the same time. Let Loose is a special move you can use when a character gets pumped up. Plus, Monster Master is a new vocation that gives you the power to summon strong monsters to fight your enemies. These changes will make battles more dynamic and thrilling than ever.
On the other hand, Parasite Mutant is a new Parasite Eve-inspired science-fiction horror RPG. In this game, players will assume the role of Psionic agent Nova. Nova was sent on a mission to an abandoned and secluded island city filled with horrifying creatures.
Parasite Mutant uses ATC (Active Time Chains), which is the exact same combat system Parasite Eve used. It combines the popular Active Time Battle system used in RPGs of the late-90s and a three-segment chain system. Players will need to time their actions on each segment and decide whether they want to save their energy and do a chain release. As the gauge fills up, players will need to dodge enemy attacks and launch their attack at the best possible time.
Parasite Mutant uses the classic equipment progression system. Players can attach various modules to their equipment or enhance their equipment using Plus Points that can be obtained through combat.
