Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince isn't the most traditional Dragon Quest game, but it's going against expectations even in some less obvious ways. Unlike typical Dragon Quest games, which focus on a party of humans going on lighthearted fantasy adventures, the Dragon Quest Monsters series focuses on combined parties of humans and monsters. With monster-catching and fusing gameplay, especially whimsical settings, and graphics that are even more cartoonish than usual, Dragon Quest Monsters is everything a spinoff should be. It maintains the core tenets of the Dragon Quest series while branching off in a unique direction, establishing an identity of its own.
