DRAGON QUEST IV: Chapters of the Chosen was
originally released in Japan on the Family Computer System in 1990, and later
on the PlayStation and Nintendo DS™ system. Compiling five chapters to create
one epic story, traveling in a large party on a wagon, and issuing commands
that allow party members to fight using their own AI has made the game a
sensational hit. The mobile version includes the party conversation feature
which is new for North American fans. Players can talk to their party to
receive various responses throughout their adventures and experience the first
game in the Zenethian Saga with the unique chapter based story system.
