DRAGON QUEST XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age is the eleventh mainline entry in the popular DRAGON QUEST franchise, but it is a standalone experience with a brand new character, meaning that anyone can play the game without having any knowledge of the previous titles and enjoy it.

DRAGON QUEST XI features a captivating world, intense and complex turn-based combat, and a gripping story that will appeal to both longtime fans of the franchise and players that are new to it. This time we follow a young man that is about to participate in a coming of age ceremony that is traditional in his village. While traveling to a Sacred Stone with his childhood friend, a lot of unexpected events occur, and our young hero learns the truth about himself. He is a reincarnation of a mighty hero from a long forgotten age, and so he sets off on a journey to discover what his past is. Instead of receiving help from the King when telling him his true identity, he instead gets called “The Darkspawn” and gets hunted down by a merciless army. You will gather a party of brave adventurers, and together with them, you will go on a quest that will take you face to face with something ominous that threatens the entire world.
