The court jester Dhoulmagus of the kingdom of Trodain stole a powerful magical scepter sealed beneath the royal castle. Using the power of the scepter, Dhoulmagus destroyed the castle, placed a curse upon the kingdom and its people, and turned King Trode into a troll and the princess into a horse. A sole surviving castle guard journeys with the king, the princess, a reformed bandit named Yangus and a few other companions in search of the evil jester and a way to break the curse.
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King is a traditional Japanese-style role-playing game with random enemy encounters, simple turn-based combat mechanics, and management of a party consisting of four characters, each belonging to a clearly defined class. Unlike its predecessors in the series and most Japanese RPGs in general, the game features a continuous world with fairly vast landscapes and integrated towns and dungeons, as opposed to world map traveling and locations represented by icons. The game features full camera rotation and optional first-person view. Like in the previous Dragon Quest games, many objects can be interacted with; for example, barrels can be physically lifted, carried, and broken, to reveal items hidden within.

This is a role-playing game in which players assume the role of a young adventurer trying to save a kingdom from an evil curse. Players explore cities, perform quests, and battle fantastical enemies (e.g., trolls, dragons, occasional humans) in turn-based combat. Players select moves from a menu as their characters use swords, clubs, and magic attacks (e.g., fireballs, poison) to defeat enemies. Characters stagger or flinch when hit, and fall over when health/hit points have been depleted. One enemy creature (“bloody hand”) is depicted as a hand covered in red slime. Female characters are sometimes depicted in revealing outfits (e.g., tops with deep cleavage). One female fighter can perform provocative dance moves (e.g., "Puff-Puff," "Sexy Beam," "Hustle Dance") to distract or control monsters; the camera briefly zooms in on her chest and buttocks. There are also instances of suggestive dialogue (e.g., "Ave you ever felt a pair as warm and soft as mine?" and "You never know the depths
