Dragon Quest: Young Yangus and the Mysterious Dungeon (Japanese: ドラゴンクエスト 少年ヤンガスと不思議のダンジョン) is a prequel and spin-off to Dragon Quest Ⅷ: Journey of the Cursed King, developed by Cavia and published by Square Enix as part of the Mystery Dungeon Franchise. While it does not follow the Torneko's Mystery Dungeon series, it participates in the Dragon Quest series.

Plot

The game centers around the character Yangus, who is a character accompanying Eight in Dragon Quest Ⅷ, as a child. Described as a "plump bandit", he becomes involved with his father Yampa's gang of thieves when a mysterious jug is brought home. Though instructed not to touch the jug, Yangus does, and is sucked inside the bottle into another world called "Bottle Land". Gelda, a female bandit from Dragon Quest Ⅷ also appears in this new world, as well as Red, Morrie, Torneko, and a new character named Poppy, and each begins to explore the dungeons of this new land.

Reception

The game ranked third in Japan for game sales for the week of April 17 to April 23 in 2006.[1] The game was noted for its "cartoonish 3D graphics", and its full motion video was also praised.[2][3] The original art style and cell-shaded graphics were highlighted for praise as well.[2] IGN described the dungeon movement system in the game as "clumsy".[4] The narration of the game was thought to be hilarious, due to the narrators acting out of various characters parts.[4] The protagonist of the game, Young Yangus, would later appear in other games in the Dragon Quest franchise such as Fortune Street in 2011 and Dragon Quest Rivals as part of an event in 2019.

Sales

The title sold over 340,000 copies in Japan by November 2006, according to Square Enix's IR, and ranking number 42 in sales overall for the year.[5][6]
