Dragon Warrior Monsters 2: Tara's Adventure is a role-playing game for the Game Boy Color, released in 2001. It builds on the mechanics of its predecessor, featuring monster collection and breeding elements. Players explore a fantasy world, capturing unique creatures to battle and trade. The game was later included in a compilation for the PlayStation and remade for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan.
Dragon Quest Monsters 2 followed Pokemon's strategy of releasing 2 games with exclusive monsters that would need to be traded between versions to collect them all.
The games were later re-released along with the first Dragon Quest Monsters as a compilation for the PlayStation and the games were later remade for the 3DS, but only in Japan.
