Dragon Quest® Heroes: Rocket Slime™ is the latest game from the creative minds behind the 2006
RPG classic, Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King™. Prepare to immerse yourself in this
unique, action-packed quest, available exclusively for the Nintendo DS™. The hero of our tale is a
slime--one of the most popular monsters from the Dragon Quest series--known as Rocket. The
adventure stages consist of our hero bouncing and stretching, as well as carrying various objects
on his head, while solving the mysteries behind each area, and rescuing his captured slime friends
along the way. Then, each stage culminates in a fierce tank battle, providing for an
action-adventure experience the likes of which have never been seen before!
STORY
The game is set in the kingdom of Slimenia, a peaceful land that is suddenly invaded by a
mysterious cartel called “the Plob,” who then proceed to kidnap all the slimes in the capital city of
Boingburg. Our protagonist, Rocket, is the only slime left behind, and must embark on a journey
throughout Slimenia to save his friends and uncover the Plob’s nefarious plot.
