Dragon Quest Builders review – building on Minecraft's success
A surprisingly successful mash-up between two completely different franchises, whose quiet charms offer a welcome alternative to incessant action and overbearing storytelling.
Pros:
- The Minecraft elements are neatly explained, and offer a significant amount of freedom for a story-base game

- Camera isn't always that helpful
- Dragon Quest in-jokes will be lost on many

This is a good game with some annoying controls

- Endearing enemies help the hours fly by
- Rewarding quests
- Invasions introduce superb tower-defense gameplay
Cons:
- Disappointing lack of cross-save given identical content between platforms

Though it has some flaws, Dragon Quest Builders shows how a good story mode can really be implemented in this building genre. The boss battles are mostly fun (with a few exceptions, such as the second boss), quests make your buildings have meaning and a plot, although simple, really makes the game...

Dragon Quest Builders
Dragon Quest Builders' sandbox crafting gameplay mixed with classic JRPG mechanics results in a fun gameplay experience, but the omission of multiplayer is disappointing.

Great game.
Great game... spent about 40 hours so far and still going strong! I've always been a Dragon Quest fan - this is a good cross between DQ/Legoworld/MineCraft

- Just enough structure to not leave you to your own devices
- Lots to do

- No co-op
