It is the story of Psaro, a young man struck by a curse, and his faithful friends whom he brings along on his adventure.
After his father, the Monster Master, casts a curse on him preventing him from harming any creature with monster blood, Psaro vows to become a monster leader to break the spell. Throughout his adventure, he will befriend many monsters. He will train them to become stronger, synthesize powerful new allies, and fight increasingly dangerous enemies.

Our opinion on DQM The Dark Prince
Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince (DQM3) is a very enjoyable game with very well-crafted monster collection mechanics that can keep you entertained for over 75 hours. The monster designs, synthesis system, and voice acting are clearly the game’s strong points. However, it suffers from performance issues, questionable DLC decisions, and frustrating post-game mechanics. The environment design is generally good, but handling issues sometimes hamper exploration. Despite its flaws, DQM3 remains a solid experience for fans of the genre, as most Dragon Quests are.
However, the network mode for online battles, where players can compete in real time like on the Switch version, will not be available on the Steam and mobile versions.
