Video Games
These are games in the series that are readily available on modern systems or have been announced and available for preorder.
Dragon Quest III is one of my all-time favorite video games (certainly in the top five) and I've played through the Gameboy color version more times than I can count. To say I was excited for the remake was an understatement and it did not disappoint...
It follows the child of Ortega, who must recruit three other party members across several job classes in a quest to defeat Baramos. I cannot say enough about not only the story, but the music, gameplay and literally everything about this game is virt...
Available for the Switch, PS5 and Xbox Series X.

DRAGON QUEST III HD-2D Remake
This was the first Dragon Quest Monsters game in quite a while and it was a game well worth the wait. I actually first experienced the Dragon Quest series through Dragon Quest Monsters 2: Tara's Adventure on the Gameboy color. While Dark Prince isn't...

Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince
This is a collection of the first three Dragon Quest games (mobile versions, multi-language). These are fun to play through even though the mobile character sprites aren't the prettiest.
DRAGON QUEST 1+2+3 COLLECTION
Dragon Quest XI is considered by many (newcomers and long-time fans) as one of the best games in the series. I myself was blown away by the story, gameplay, characters and open world exploration. This is a great starting point if you're new to the se...

Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of An Elusive Age
One of my all-time favorite games, Dragon Quest Builders is Square-Enix' take on Minecraft--with a stellar story, more options, memorable characters and better graphics. Dragon Quest Builders 2 centers on a group called the Children of Hargon who seek revenge for the defeat of Hargon and Malroth by the descendants of Erdrick (from Dragon Quest II).
Players choose a male or female character and after being caught in a shipwreck, they wake up on the Isle of Awakening, where they meet a person named Malroth. Malroth has no memory of his past and befriends you despite some initial reluctance. In re...
The first builders is also quite good but not quite as good as the second game.
This is available on steam, Nintendo Switch, and PS4.

Dragon Quest Builders 2
[Preorder--releasing February 6th)
Prior to being officially announced, there were a lot of rumors of a remake of Dragon Quest VII. This was made official in the fall of 2025. Dragon Quest VII is a divisive title: beloved by many but seen as overwhelming due to its 100+ hours required...
I admit I haven't completely beaten Dragon Quest VII but I can say its a fun title with some memorable characters and a great story.
This will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X, Switch and Switch 2.

DRAGON QUEST VII Reimagined
This is a HD-2D remake of the first two Dragon Quest games. The first game takes place several years after Dragon Quest 3 and sees one of the Erdrick descendants seek to defeat the demon lord terrorizing the land. Dragon Quest 2 follows his descendan...
The remake features bonus content and fleshes out the games more (both were quite short in their original iteration). They're very important games for RPGs and helped to give rise to other series in the coming years.

Books focused on Dragon Quest as well as the manga series that have been licensed in the United States.

Dragon Quest Illustrations: 30th Anniv
I'm a big fan of the Dragon Quest Monsters series, so when this manga was licensed in the United States I quickly preordered it.
It follows Kleo, who dreams of being a heroic monster-slayer. However, when he’s transported to the kingdom of GreatTree , he discovers the king expects him not to kill monsters but to train them. Now he must face the kingdom’s near lack of monsters ...

Apparel and Accessories
These are fun ways to ear and show off your (or your loved one's) love of Dragon Quest.
This is a great shirt to show off your love for Dragon Quest. I initially stumbled across it at a convention and they have their own etsy store as well. What I also like is that they carry a range of sizes, including xs.
Dragon Quest Slime Button Up Shirt
These are great socks and they come in small and medium sizes. There are a variety of other designs including white background, blue slime and character based socks. They're well made and quite comfortable.

Metal Slime Socks
I really like the design on this sweater (so many sellers have copy and paste logos, bleh!). The sizing is in unisex but you can opt for different colors (red, blue, purple etc.) for the sweater. This makes for a cozy sweater during Dragon Quest mara...
King Slime Christmas Sweatshirt
These are cute and well-made slime earrings.

I love pins and have quite a few I enjoy rotating through, including this slime pin. The seller has a couple other different Dragon Quest pins (I'm just partial to king slimes).
Happy King Slime Hard Enamel Pin
A mottle slime pin that I really like. The seller also has other pins (not just Dragon Quest) that are well-made and look great!
Mottle Slime Dragon Quest Enamel Pin
I love this design showcasing the group of Dragon Quest XI.
TeePublic is great because of the variety of designs and the ability to customize colors and fits. I have several shirts from them in my closet and they've held up well have MANY washes and several years.

Other Merchandise
These are other recommendations for Dragon Quest fans such as plush, figures and stickers.
Square-Enix has a couple different figures from Dragon Quest (and these change periodically) but I'm partial to Terry. Terry has appeared in more than one Dragon Quest game but he originally was showcased in the sixth installment in the series.

This is a large plush of the infamous king slime.

These are cute slime stickers that are perfect for journaling.
Dragon Quest slime stickers
These are very well crafted metal versions of several notable monsters from Dragon Quest. I have the mech dragon and love the amount of detail on it and quality.
There are quite a few different ones but this particular one will take you to the metal slime (which is also really good--I've seen it but don't own one).
