Dragon Warrior is a game for Nintendo Entertainment System. It is the first game in the Dragon Quest series, and this entry was referred to as simply Dragon Quest in Japan (North America changed the name to avoid legal trouble with another registered trademark). The game was re-released for the Nintendo Switch Nintendo eShop, including for Europe.

Gameplay

Dragon Warrior is a Japanese style RPG, in which the protagonist is aimed at defeating a villain known as the Dragonlord. The player attacks in turn-based combat using a weapon (otherwise fists if no weapon is equipped), or a spell, and encounters randomly occur while travelling on the map.
