Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker — About this game
This DS adventure follows a young scout through the islands of the Green Bays. Monsters roam the 3D landscapes, and meeting one starts a turn-based battle with your own team. The Scout command offers a chance to recruit an opponent instead of defeating it, so building a collection depends on the strength and balance of your party. Later, synthesis combines two monsters into an offspring with inherited skills. Exploring new islands, training promising recruits and choosing complementary abilities all feed into the Monster Scout Challenge.
