Development[]
Dragon Quest Tact was designed based on Dragon Quest Wars, a DSiWare game that is no longer available, and brought to iOS/Android (mobile) in Japan on 16 July 2020. A pre-registration phase for the game began on 10 June 2020 to test the game and prepare it for release. It was first announced on 5 February 2020.
In late September 2020, Square Enix announced a Global version via social media, and held an open beta for Android users[1]. By mid-January 2021, Square Enix began taking pre-orders on all platforms. According to a post from the company dated 13 January, the game had already been downloaded more than 10 million times in Japan. Tact was available for download as of 27 January 2021, but was not online until the following day.
It is directed by Yuji Horii, the art was created by Akira Toriyama, and the music was composed by Kobo Sugiyama.
In November 2022, Sonic the Hedgehog creator Yuji Naka and two other Square Enix employees were arrested for insider trading when developing Dragon Quest Tact.[2]
Dragon Quest Tact ultimately survived much longer than Dragon Quest of the Stars outside of Japan, in no small part due to the frequency of new content and continuous upgrades to gameplay elements; but on 26 December 2023, developers announced the end of service for the Global version as of 29 February 2024 due to quality-of-service concerns[3]. With this announcement, all sales of premium currency were discontinued. Also with the end of service, all international social media feeds will be closed 29 March 2024.
