Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 — About this game
A journey to the Monster Scout Challenge goes wrong when the Albatross crashes on an unfamiliar island. From the damaged airship, you explore distinct regions, search for the passengers and recruit monsters through turn-based battles. Team building has a physical twist: large monsters occupy more than one of the three active slots, so a giant recruit changes the whole lineup. Reserve swaps and later synthesis offer further ways to adapt. The island’s roaming monsters and changing day and weather conditions make returning to an area useful for finding new partners.
