Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince (Nintendo Switch)

Released: 1st December 2023. Journey into a fantastical world on a quest for revenge in DRAGON QUEST MONSTERS: The Dark Prince.  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. A Wonderous World Awaits From rivers of molten lava to towering mountains of sweets, the fantastical environments of Nadiria are as varied as the monsters that populate them. With each turn of the season, sweeping changes take hold of the landscapes. Some monsters only appear when the weather suits them, and keen-eyed monster wranglers can take advantage of the seasonal changes to reach previously inaccessible areas. Scout a Myriad of Monsters Over 500 monsters to scout, battle, and assist on your journey, including a variety of unique, never-before-seen monsters as well as many familiar favorites from the DRAGON QUEST franchise. Combine & Create to Strategize Synthesize monsters and to create a one-of-a-kind roster. Create a slime that's a spell specialist or a dracky that can dish out devastating damage. When it comes to battles, you choose how involved you want to be. You can give every order yourself, set general tactics for your monsters to follow, or leave it entirely in their hands with the auto-battle feature.
