Slime Mori Mori Dragon Quest 3: Daikaizoku to Shippodan (スライムもりもりドラゴンクエスト3 大海賊としっぽ団, subtitle lit. "The Great Pirate Ship and Tails Troupe"[1]) is an action-adventure game developed and published by Square Enix. It is a spinoff video game to the Dragon Quest franchise. It is the third entry in the Slime series, known as the Slime Morimori Dragon Quest (スライムもりもりドラゴンクエス) series in Japan. It was released for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan in 2011.[2]
Gameplay
In the game, the player controls a slime named Surarin (スラリン). Unlike the first two games of the series, which were 2D games featuring tank battles, Slime Mori Mori Dragon Quest 3 features naval battles in a 3D environment. Also unlike the first two games, the goal is not to rescue one hundred kidnapped slimes, but to take back the "Rainbow Orbs", the treasure of the Slime Kingdom. The battle mechanics are similar to the previous game in the series, Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime, with the player journeying through specific game locations, fighting enemies by either flinging the slime at enemies or by fighting naval battles by loading ammunition into the ship's guns.[3]
Plot
The protagonist, Surarin (スラリン) lives in Slime Kingdom. One day while he return from the sailing, his kingdom is attacked by Tails Troupe, and the "Rainbow Orbs", treasures of the state, were stolen. The Boss of the Tails Troupe spreads these orbs around the world, and sets up guards to prevent them from being taken back. Surarin and his crew sail around the world retrieving the Orbs.
Development
The title was first announced on 16 March 2011,[1] as the first Nintendo 3DS title of the series; the previous titles had been released on the Game Boy Advance and the Nintendo DS. It was released on 2 November 2011 in Japan. It was re-released as an Ultimate Hits title on 6 December 2012.[4]
Reception
Slime Mori Mori Dragon Quest 3 sold 38,859 copies in its first week, and charted as the seventh-best selling game of the week.[5] It sold over 108,000 copies by 2012.[6]
The Japanese magazine Famitsu scored the game 37/40, while French media Consoles + gave it a 15/20.[7][8]
