Notable for kicking off the roguelike genre in Japan, Dragon Quest Heroes: Torneko’s Mystery Dungeon -Classic HD- is an endlessly replayable adventure as players dive into dangerous, constantly changing dungeons to find and escape with treasure to help grow Torneko’s shop.

Dragon Quest Heroes: Torneko’s Mystery Dungeon -Classic HD- is now available on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X|S and PC via Steam. For more information, visit https://www.dragonquest.com/torneko_hd/.
