Is it still worth playing?
Chunsoft's role playing game, first released on the NES in Japan in 1990 and as Dragon Warrior IV in North America in 1992, remade for the PlayStation and Nintendo DS as Chapters of the Chosen. The original story has five chapters in the same world, each led by different characters: a knight, a princess with two guardians, a merchant, two sisters and finally the Hero, who regroups with the others. The last chapter has eight heroes but only four fight at once, and the Caravan lets you swap them in and out in battle, though it cannot enter certain areas such as caves. On the NES the computer controls party members in many chapters, with tactics you can set, while the PlayStation and DS versions let you control every character. Five chapters with different leads still let the story be told from several sides.
