This installment features Torneko (or Taloon, as he was known in North America), the merchant from ''[[Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen|Dragon Warrior IV]]''.

The gameplay is similar to [[Wikipedia:roguelike|roguelike]] style PC games. The main similarity is the heavy use of randomized dungeons and effects.
The gameplay is similar to [[Wikipedia:roguelike|roguelike]] style PC games. The main similarity is the heavy use of randomized dungeons and effects, with each square or panel representing one "step". While Torneko explores the dungeon, he collects gold and items and fights monsters, similar to the ones found in {{Main Series}} games. With every step the player takes, monsters will advance steps, too (unless they are sleeping). There are also trap squares that are activated when Torneko steps on them.


While Torneko explores the dungeon, he collects items and fights monsters, similar to the ones found in ''Dragon Quest'' games. If Torneko leaves the dungeon, he can sell off the items he found. He can also equip certain items found in the dungeon. By saving up money, Torneko can improve his home and shop.
Each dungeon has a certain number of floors to explore. The goal is to explore each floor as much as possible before finding the stairs and moving on to the next floor, and ultimately, the treasure that hides deep in the mysterious dungeons. After claiming the treasure, Torneko must return to the surface, either by walking or by using an [[Evac]] scroll.
 
If Torneko successfully leaves the dungeon, he can sell off the items he found. By saving up money, Torneko can improve his home and shop. The catch is that if Torneko falls in battle, all of his gold and items earned while in the dungeon are lost unless he has an iron safe in his bag. After a certain upgrade to the family's shop, he can also equip certain items to make himself stronger for the next trip, although his level resets every time he enters a dungeon.
 
Inside the dungeon, Torneko can equip weapons, shields, arrows, and rings. Weapons increase the damage Torneko deals, while Shields reduce the damage he takes from enemies. Arrows allow Torneko to attack monsters at a distance, as long as they are directly in front of him. Rings grant passive habilities, though some rings like the harker ring hinder Torneko. Torneko also can find a variety of herbs and other consumable items, such as magic scrolls or wands. Wands are not equippable like the other weapons, but Torneko can use them a few times before they break.
