I've never played one of the DQM games before and I'm surprised how fun this one is. I don't usually enjoy monster fighting games but the fact that all four of your guys fight at the same time makes it feel like less management overhead. Its more about having the right team with the right talents and who you breed together than it is about what specific moves you use in each battle. There are also way more monsters than I anticipated, and I can't wait to get to some of the cooler looking knights/dragons/etc. If you are on the fence about this game I reccomend it!
