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

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

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...

Moving the Dragon Quest franchise into the realm of sandbox Minecraft style gameplay Dragon Quest Builders offers a uniquely satisfying adventure that bridges the RPG with the sandbox genre. Set in the same universe as the original Dragon Quest series (Alefgard) with the world inhabited by a la...

Great blend of RPG and sandbox – Feeling of progress as your ruins turn into a town

Controls and camera have some issues – Lacks multiplayer

A fantastic sandbox experience with just enough direction to justify a huge time investment

The combat is a mess and you do far too much of it for the game's own good

One of the main things i hated about minecraft is that there was no story or purpose other then to build things mindlessly. This game has a story so it feels rewarding to build your town, help the people of the land, and defend your town against monsters!

A surprisingly successful mash-up between two completely different franchises, whose quiet charms offer a welcome alternative to incessant action and overbearing storytelling.

The Minecraft elements are neatly explained, and offer a significant amount of freedom for a story-base game; Charming script and characters, and some fun twists on the usual JRPG formula

Compared to Minecraft there are some obvious limitations, especially when digging underground; Camera isn't always that helpful; Dragon Quest in-jokes will be lost on many

Years ago Minecraft's original designers felt compelled to add a story to their sandbox hit, in order to impose some kind of formal structure to the playpen. The reward for completing that somewhat tepid storyline was some poetry, written by the Irish novelist Julian Gough.

This is a good game with some annoying controls, but you get used to that quickly. It has a lot of reading which may not be suitable for some kids, but my daughter enjoys and I like that it encourages her to read.
