The later series of most nes games seem
to be just a repetition of earlier nes games. But in this particular cartridge,
Dragon Warrior IV, the story is not only different, but better than the earlier
ones. Dragon Warrior IV consists of five fun, challenging chapters that not
only requires skill, but also intelligence. In the first Chapter, a warrior
named Ragnar ventures out to find an answer to a rather puzzling mystery of
the lost townschildren. Here players experiment with different weapons and
armor. This chapter is made to help players gain experience. The challenge
is not quite present in this chapter, but the excellent graphics is evident.
In chapter 2, Alena takes an adventure. The excitement level is not yet that
of a roller-coaster ride, but it's getting there. The player finds out about
more gossip in this chapter, and experience also develops. Alena enters a rather
interesting tournament and I thought the music was rather up-beat. In chapter
3, my favorite chapter, Taloon goes out to enhance his power and fortune, so
he can become the best merchant in the world. I loved this chapter, because
of the many towns and many games in the casino.
Not only is Dragon Warrior IV a game of skill, it is
a game of luck as well. Taloon also owns a shop and you can sell items to your
fellow townspeople. Chapter 4 was rather interesting as the music changes to
a somewhat annoying folksong. But in this chapter, spells come into play. The
challenge level increases as a player makes it to level 5; a combination of
the previous four chapters. In this chapter of Dragon Warrior IV, all the characters
come into the story, and so do you. You search for the true hero, and the enemy.
You play games of luck and skill, and you also gain more experience with difficult
battles. At the end, you feel relieved, gladdened, and saddened that Dragon
Warrior IV is over. But is it over? I know I will always play it over and over.
