Dragon Quest Heroes – Rocket Slime 3

Dragon Quest Heroes – Rocket Slime 3 known as Slime Mori Mori Dragon Quest 3 in Japan is an Action Adventure game developed by Tose for the  Nintendo 3DS. It was released exclusively in Japan on November 02, 2011, and was translated to English by lgnmcrules. It is a spinoff video game to the Dragon Quest series and the third entry in the Slime subseries. The protagonist, Surarin lives in Slime Kingdom. One day when he returns from the sailing, his kingdom is attacked by Tails Troupe, and the “Rainbow Orbs”, treasures of the state, were stolen.

The Boss of the Tails Troupe spreads these orbs around the world and sets up guards to prevent them from being taken back. Surarin and his crew sail around the world retrieving the Orbs. In the game, the player controls a slime named Slarin. Unlike the first two games of the series, which were 2D games featuring tank battles, Slime Mori Mori Dragon Quest 3 features naval battles in a 3D environment. Also unlike the first two games, the goal is not to rescue one hundred kidnapped slimes but to take back the “Rainbow Orbs”, the treasure of the Slime Kingdom.

The battle mechanics are similar to the previous game in the series, Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime, with the player journeying through specific game locations, fighting enemies by either flinging the slime at enemies or by fighting naval battles by loading ammunition into the ship’s guns. The game features a multiplayer mode with up to four participants and uses Nintendo’s Street Pass system. An online shop called Netshop, also used in Dragon Quest IX, allows players to upgrade ship parts and buy rare items with in-game currency.
