Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince (Square Enix, 2023) represents a unique entry in the decades-spanning monster-taming subgenre. This paper examines how the game reconciles two potentially conflicting goals: maintaining the core mechanical loop of the Dragon Quest Monsters (DQM) series (capture, synthesis, tactical combat) while delivering a mature, protagonist-driven narrative set within the broader Dragon Quest IV canon. Through a close analysis of its narrative framing (the cursed protagonist Psaro) and its signature “Synthesis” system, this paper argues that The Dark Prince succeeds by using narrative restriction (e.g., inability to command certain monsters) to deepen mechanical engagement, thereby offering a case study in ludonarrative integration.
