That’s a good thing, because while you lose a lot of freedom in aiming to tell a story, the end result is a more focused, well-rounded experience that rarely gets boring. Throughout your journey, you’ll spend more time exploring and gathering resources for a quest than you will building – everything you do is to progress the story. Dragon Quest Builders is an RPG first and a building game second. While, yes, the world is all blocky, and yes, you spend a lot of time, well, mining and crafting, but the similarities start and stop at face value. I mentioned Minecraft in my introduction, but the comparison is a bit unfair. The Builder’s quest is a simple one - build a town for people to live in, teach the people to survive together, and banish the evil taking hold of the land. The world is shrouded in darkness, monsters wander freely, and humans, who again, cannot construct a single thing, are left hiding in dirt huts in fear. Set in an alternate reality following the first Dragon Quest game, Dragon Quest Builders has the player take control of the titular Builder, the only person left in the world capable of building anything. That aside, Dragon Quest Builders manages to pull off this mashup of concepts in a spectacular way, but some frustrating and questionable design choices detract from the experience that could have been. Thankfully, that did not provide much of an issue. The former, however, is where I’m a little bit shaky I haven’t played a Dragon Quest game since Dragon Quest VIII on the PS2 came out all the way back in 2004. The latter is something I have a lot of experience with (heck, I even reviewed Minecraft when it came to the Switch).

In this case, it’s the RPG-like qualities of the Dragon Quest series being married to block-based, world-constructing, survival qualities of a game like Minecraft. Dragon Quest Builders is one of those bizarre games that tries to marry one genre with another.
