New Dragon Quest Heroes screenshots, combat and special moves detailed

Square Enix has released a new round of screenshots for Dragon Quest Heroes today, showing off a bit of the game’s combat, camping feature and character special moves.

Toward the start of the game, players will be placed in their own camp-like area. There they can access typical RPG staples, such as a weapons shop. From there, the game’s world map allows for a number of destinations to be selected. Of course, you can go back to any stage you wish once you’ve cleared the mission there. Every stage in Dragon Quest Heroes will require certain objectives to be completed along with high-end enemies. Once you clear an area, you’ll be transported back to your base of operations.

Like many action RPGs, Dragon Quest Heroes has the option to freely switch between various party member characters – 4 per party – and can be swapped out with a press of a button. Special abilities for each character can be activated as well, provided your Tension Gauge tops 100%. For example, one of the game’s protagonists, Akuto can perform a special move called Giga Slash that lets him destroy a large amount of enemies in a single blow.

Dragon Quest Heroes is due out in Japan on February 26, 2015 for PS3 and PS4. Localization for a western version of the game has yet to be announced.
