You'e going to be hearing a lot of quirky British accents while hacking and slashing your way through Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below, as evidenced by the 15 minutes of gameplay that we've embedded in this article. Courtesy of Square Enix's let's play series, we get to see a lengthy endgame battle that's full of devastating magic attacks and beefy monsters.

To go along with the gameplay, community manager Dan Seto is on hand to talk about how the title differs from other Omega Force productions. We often see people comparing Dragon Quest Heroes to games like Dynasty Warriors, and while there are definite similarities in the sense that you'll be slicing your way through entire enemy armies, it's clear that this collaboration is much more focussed on the role-playing side of things. Of course, you'd probably expect this from a Dragon Quest release in the first place.

With the game only a month or so away, we'll hopefully be bringing you some hands-on impressions in the near future. Until then, let us know how you think it looks in the comments section below.
