Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest - The Adventure of Dai is a cute game, but it's the definition of a generic anime tie-in title. It has its charms, and it doesn't play badly, but it is a very basic title that primarily exists for fans of the show. If you're a die-hard Dragon Quest fan rather than an Adventures of Dai fan, it might be better to watch the show and return to the game if you want more. Fans should have a lot of fun getting to experience the adventures of their favorites in a new form.

Despite the emphasis on it's art and it's respect to the source material, Infinity Strash left so much to be desired as an Action RPG

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai is a good game adapting an anime, but a relatively shallow Action RPG. While there's plenty of content here (especially if you're a fan of the franchise), the game just recreates the narrative of the animation, the combat is simple, and its most unique mode ends up tiring by repetitiveness.

Despite starting with an interesting and well-built base, Infinity Strash: DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai fails to go beyond being a mere and unconvincing task, due to some questionable design choices. The abrupt interruption halfway through the original story (for future expansion) and the imbalance between action and passive consumption make it lacking in player engagement. This is disappointing as it shows potential when in action. It's another misstep for Square Enix, who should better evaluate minor productions before releasing them.

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai sits in a bit of a weird place, primarily because of the way it chooses to tell its story. It’s based on an existing anime and does cover the key plot beats of the story and the character motivations fairly well and is easy enough to follow even for newcomers. But due to its abridged nature, the anime or manga is still the go-to option if you come to like these characters and want to see everything this story has to offer.

Infinity Strash offers a very mediocre and limited experience, that suffers from the lack of game modes and repetition in the modes that are available. The name of the IP and the characters could have been utilized better.

Infinity Strash brings the story and visual flare of the beloved Dragon Quest manga to life with one of the most mediocre repetitive action RPGs in years.

I personally had very different expectations of Infinity Strash. This title was announced as a kind of action RPG in the Dragon Quest world. In reality it has become more of an arena fighter with a story told at 8x speed. I wonder who this game is actually for. If you want an arena fighter, you better buy Dragon Quest: Heroes. Would you like to experience Dai's story? Then it is much better to watch the 2020 anime.

Unfortunately, for the good that Infinity Strash does for the serialised manga, it shorts itself through poor retellings of the anime episodes, simple but ultimately boring combat, and a Temple system that really doesn’t mesh well with the main campaign. But if you’re a shounen or Dragon Quest diehard, Dai’s adventures are a fun spectacle—but I think I’d rather watch the anime.

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai offers frenetic and surprisingly action RPG gameplay that is weighed down by mobile-style progression and a pointless story format.

Infinity Strash: DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai is a light action RPG that, despite having Dragon Quest in the title, focuses on the anime and manga of the same name and has nothing to do with the main game series or its spin-offs. -more well-known offs -beyond the common elements of the franchise such as its bestiary-. An adventure awaits us where we will follow approximately a third of the anime with certain pacing problems due to its strange structure of telling the story and we may also be affected by its too simple combat that only shines before the bosses. Despite all this, and perhaps because of the weight of nostalgia, Infinity Strash is a game that we are going to recommend, especially for manga and anime fans.

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Da" is a wonderful entry point for newcomers to the legendary games series, which very skilfully captures the flair of its anime original time and again. However, old-fashioned game and level design keep the action RPG from unfolding its full potential.

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest the Adventure of Dai is a call to all those nostalgic people who enjoyed Fly's adventures in their childhood and who could not find out what became of their hero beyond what was published in Spain. Sadly, the player will once again suffer abandonment because Infinity Strash only contemplates up to chapter 41 of the 2022 anime, leaving a large part of the work unfinished. Perhaps a sequel will complement the work? Who knows... For the rest, it is a very beautiful game on a visual level, but it suffers from quite a few narrative deficiencies, making it unattractive to pay attention to its story, and playability, with a final feeling of constantly playing a Boss Rush mode with few and dull filler missions in open terrain involved. Fortunately, the temple of memory brings a breath of fresh air that can entertain you for a little longer thanks to its procedural combats, since its campaign, if we remove the dull narrative sequences, can be finished in just over 6 hours.

Dai’s video game debut may not feature the same level of robustness as its core series counterparts, but, as an action-based anime spin-off, it’s an absolute delight. Whether you’ve been following the anime or manga, or just consider yourself to be a Dragon Quest fan, Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure offers an all-around good time.

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai is not an experience I recommend to anyone. Regardless of your familiarity with the series, I can promise you that this is not worth the time. Even fans who love the source material will get nothing positive from this title, as the miserable gameplay loop and surface-level storytelling will do nothing to initiate or enhance anybody’s love for the IP. What is here is more representative of a mobile game’s structure, with a console coating that’s mostly deceitful above all else.

Infinity Strash: Dragon Quest The Adventure of Dai could appeal to diehard fans of the anime, but its repetitive nature keeps it from being great. The game looks remarkably like the anime and the Temple of Recollection can be quite fun, but anyone who doesn’t love The Adventure of Dai can pass on this one.
