Final Review Score

7.0 / 10

Great

Dragon Warrior IV delivers an unusually ambitious role-playing adventure for the NES, introducing its ensemble cast through distinct chapters before bringing their stories together.

Exploration and Gameplay

The chapter structure gives each hero a memorable introduction, while turn-based battles and a large world provide a satisfying long-form quest. Some grinding and automated party behavior show the game’s age.
