With Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince only weeks away now, Square Enix have released an overview video, which explains why you can’t fight like in a traditional Dragon Quest title and much more.

Here is the official description of the game, as provided by Square Enix.

Psaro is cursed and is unable to harm anything with monster blood. Now, he must become a Monster Wrangler to create an army for battle.

The hunt for high-ranked monsters takes Psaro through the ever-changing seasons of Nadiria and its unique environments, with rivers of bubbling lava, mysterious ancient ruins, and soaring towers of cake. Along the way, Psaro meets the kind-hearted elf, Rose, who joins his adventure to seek out ever-stronger monsters.

The key to Psaro’s success lies with synthesis: the ability to combine two monsters and create a stronger offspring. Each new creation brings Psaro one step closer to his goal of becoming the Master of Monsterkind.

If you want to give the game a go now, you can grab the demo and see what the game is all about.
