So I spent my entire Christmas vacation playing Dragon Quest Treasures. And watching the entirety of Transformers Prime. I don't regret a single second of it.

This years New Years Eve party was kind of a bummer because everyone went to bed at like 1am, so I sat by myself in the living room and watched Predacons Rising lol.

But back to Dragon Quest Treasures... While the story wasn't all that breathtakingly interesting, the fact that you can collect all the cute little monsters just like in Dragon Quest Builders 2 (one of my fav games of all time) way than makes up for that. It's just a silly little spinoff after all. So don't go into it expecting an amazing and dramatic story line and character development lol.

My favorite monster by far was the Heartless Hunter that you defeat as the first boss in the game. As soon as I read the words "you may be able to fix him" I made that my number one mission. Fuck the railroads, I'm going shard hunting. In my foolishness I went way too deep into the Hinterquarters because I thought that was the only location Killing Machines would spawn. To my horror, they were all level 30. While I was like barely level 12. So to say that I got my ass kicked massively would be an understatement. But eventually, I got all my shards and headed back to the desert, now pretty overleveled for that point in the game. But as soon as I got there, I noticed that a desert variant of the killing machine spawns like right next to the mission giver. And they were like level 15. Oh man. I was pissed the fuck off.

But all the anger was worth it, because I finally got my beloved pink robot as a reward! I love you PR0TEKTER-iK........ Even though he kept dying on me like all the time. In every battle. But his cute voice lines were totally totally worth it. ;)

As of now, I've played for a total of 40 hours and I'm around level 80 and in the middle of the post game quests. So I'm still not finished! I even found a bunch of monsters with funny little hats and outfits hehe. They're like the Dragon Quest equivalent of shiny Pokemon I think.

I know he's called PR0TEKTER-iK and not PR0TEKT-MIA and I honestly wanted to use each sibling the same amount, but in the end, I played with Mia for most of the game. You get enough of Erik in DQ11 already smh. I also really liked the antagonists, they have pretty cool designs, especially Bonnie and Silverbones. Love myself some skeleton pirates.
