Battle is not limited to one-on-one fights, and players can form real life parties to tackle difficult missions together. Basic vocations--[[Warrior]], [[Priest]], [[Martial Artist]], [[Mage]], and [[Thief]]--were available at launch, with advanced vocations being added in the January 28 2020 update including the [[Gladiator]], [[Sage]], and [[Ranger]], and yet more occupations being added through later updates. Advanced vocations require mastery of two basic careers in order to unlock, similar to the system seen in {{Dragon Quest VI}}, with the ranger requiring the player reach level 50 in the martial artist and thief for example.

Unlike other AR games, ''DQ Walk'' has an actual story that is gradually told to the player through the completion of mainline quests, NPC dialogue in sidequests, and so forth. This storyline includes original characters specifically made for the game, as well as cameos of characters from past titles. Because certain characters had no official artwork for their debut, new art drawn by [[Akira Toriyama]] was prepared for these individuals, such as [[Rose]] for example. | Unlike other AR games, ''DQ Walk'' has an actual story that is gradually told to the player through the completion of mainline quests, NPC dialogue in sidequests, and so forth.
