[Dragon Quest] What kind of game is Dragon Quest Builders? Is it just like a Dragon Quest version of Minecraft?

Otaku Review Image

1: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)12:40Yeahx26

Minecraft-style Dragon Quest

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)12:42Yeahx8

In the story, the goals are clearly presented in Minecraft.
I highly recommend it for people who are not good at playing for free.

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)12:44

The respect level for the original Dragon Quest is quite high, so it’s geared towards older fans.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)12:44Yeahx3

I was grateful to be told to develop and craft things in this way because there is a scenario.
I’m not good with the type that is thrown out like “You can live however you want since you can do anything…”

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)12:44

Even those who have given up because they don’t know what to do in Minecraft due to a lack of purpose can still enjoy playing.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)12:47Yeahx1

>>5Thank you, it seems that I’ve realized this game is suited for me.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)12:53Yeahx2

>>8It’s not a Minecraft in the style of Dragon Quest.
Because it’s Dragon Quest-style Minecraft.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)12:46

I feel like I was able to play quite a bit with the free trial version.
I don’t know if it’s on any hardware.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)12:47

It’s thankful to have a clear ultimate goal of saving the world.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)12:47

I want to revive the world of 3…

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)12:50

If we’re going to revive it, the Hero’s Village from Dragon Quest IV or Santaruze from Dragon Quest V could also be good subjects.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)12:50

I only played partway through, but I got the impression it was like a tower defense game.
Also, the concept of water is different from Minecraft.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)12:50

I want to play Builders in the world of 9.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:02Yeahx1

>>12The Gia has come and will perish.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)12:51Yeahx5

I hope the number of Builders fans increases to around 3.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)12:53

The scenario is quite good, so if you like Dragon Quest, I recommend it.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)12:54

If you want to live in Minecraft 2
If you want to survive, 1.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:03

Killing intent arises towards the ghost.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:05

What I was looking for in Minecraft was to have goals set for me.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:14

>>19Due to the influence of gameplay and commentary videos, games that are recommended for children have established their status, but without active and planned goals, it’s quite tough, especially in Minecraft.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:17

>>27I think it’s true that the freedom of craft and architecture is amazing, so it’s recommended for children in terms of fostering creativity.
On the other hand, there are types that just don’t get along with certain kids at all.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:05

The main purpose of presenting the recovery and rescue of the world is motivating for crafting, and I’m glad about that.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:05Yeahx2

Of course, you can build however you like, but I was grateful that there was a proper story.
The story is interesting too.

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:07

Especially, I really like the system in 2 as it is quite convenient, and I also really enjoy the story.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:08

If I had to be greedy, I would have wanted more scenes with the flag causing a commotion.
It’s a spoiler, but when I tried to take it next time, they said my weapon was weak, so I couldn’t take it.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:09

The main story has a strong impact, making the emptiness of free mode feel painful.
The fact that there is a solid base in that respect is very encouraging in various ways.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:10

It feels like a very loose colony simulation.
There are residents, but you can treat them casually, so you can enjoy freedom comfortably.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:10

I thought I really love the story of 1 and 2 too much.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:15

I think you’ll be confused by the controls as a voxel game if you’re thinking of Minecraft.
The main perspective is third-person, while first-person view feels more like a convenient assist.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:16

In SimCity, Animal Crossing, and of course Minecraft, I’ve been confronted with the reality that you really don’t have anything you want to create, so easy-type games like this are really helpful.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:17

A game that players who have done levels 1 and 2 should definitely try.
Release 3 soon.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:37

>>31Because the producer is no longer here…

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:19

As a derivative work of Dragon Quest, it is full of small references from the numbered series, providing a great sense of satisfaction.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:19Yeahx2

I want a version 3 that significantly raises the limit restrictions and increases the elements to match the switch2 specs.
I want to increase the population more.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:20

The tools are convenient and comfortable as they can dig or water over a wide area.
By placing things in this way, there is a recipe for creating a room.
Recommended for those who found Minecraft too free and overwhelming.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:21

Wow, I’m really looking forward to 3!
Hey!

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:21

I want to play Builders 3.
I want to do it more than 12.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:21

Overall, the quality is better in 2, but…
The ridiculously heavy scenario in 1 and the tower defense elements are also hard to let go of…

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:27

>>37Since a lot of traps have appeared, there have been almost no attacks.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:22

Since it’s a future of destruction, it’s only natural that it resembles one another, but DQB1 has a wealth of wickedness and darkness akin to around chapter 7 of the main story, and I personally enjoyed it.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:23Yeahx3

Ideally, the building’s roof could also be made solid.
It was a blind spot that having no roof actually makes it feel more like Dragon Quest.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:23

It would be fine to take what we did here to Minecraft.
…I couldn’t go that far.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:23

Minecraft is too free!
I want some kind of goal.
It’s a game for those who love the world of Dragon Quest.
If you like Minecraft, it might actually feel different.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:23

Comfort is overwhelmingly better in 2, but both scenarios are good, so I definitely recommend starting with 1.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:24

I haven’t played Dragon Quest, but it was interesting.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:26Yeahx1

It’s nice that you can live with your monster companions.
I like Mada Hand starting to play rock-paper-scissors.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:39

>>44I feel like the depiction of doing household chores is something that is fairly sought after in Monsters.
We’ve been living together, after all.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:28

It might be the most well-received title in the Dragon Quest spin-off series.
Of course, there are things that you’re suited for and things that you’re not.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:30Yeahx1

I love the ridiculousness of the name “Yukinohe” because it’s a descendant of “Yukinofu,” and I find it so charming even now.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:31

The placeable blocks and furniture give a great vibe, so building the town is fun.
It takes the best parts of Animal Crossing and Minecraft.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:34

It was grateful that just by running errands, it became a fairly good-looking base.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:35

Since it’s a world I created, I want to save it, which is a nice balance of the scenario.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:36

The combat is straightforward, but not bad.
Whoa… Golem punch is too strong…

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:40

I haven’t played the original, but I was invited by a friend to play the second one.
Still, it’s a really good story that I enjoyed a lot.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:41

It’s super interesting, but it’s a shame that it can’t be made by Square and the director who no longer exists has to create it for that flavor to come out.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:41

I bought a Switch 2 and I’m playing the demo for 2, but the volume is incredible.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:59

>>57I have always been a farmer… It ended at the farmer’s place…

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:41Yeahx1

It’s funny that the monster helps with production while humans are overwhelmingly stronger in combat.
Why is the Killer Machine an agricultural robot?

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:42

Are you a director or a producer? Make it clear.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:45

>>59The director is the person who takes control of production.
The producer is the person who does the promotion.
Nino can do both, so either one is correct.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:42

It’s a simple story of friendship involving encounters, doubts, separations, and reconciliations with friends.
Somehow, a Dragon Quest spin-off with such a solid story is quite rare.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:43

It’s rare to see a giant earthworm actively participating in Dragon Quest.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:43

Shino has said, “I’m good to go if I’m called!” as a form of lip service, but well…

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:45

It should be the director and the scenario writer who are missing.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:45

You don’t have to fight because you’re not a hero, you know?
I don’t care, it’s my world that I’ve created, so I’ll protect it!
I like you.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:50

I thought it was a bit frustrating that the map I created gets destroyed in the boss battle.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:51Yeahx2

>>66Number 2 has improved in that area as well.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:51

>>66It’s good that they have thoroughly addressed and improved the issues from the previous work.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:52

2 is nice, isn’t it…?

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:52Yeahx3

The great villain known as Magir.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:56

>>70I brought it later and made a proper grave…

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:53Yeahx1

It would be good to have a purpose…
I’m the type that gets troubled when told to do whatever I want, so I really enjoyed Dragon Quest Builders…

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:54

I felt there was potential for sequels or even something like a different IP similar to Final Fantasy, but so far there hasn’t been any movement.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:55

>>72FF probably doesn’t suit the character.
Dragon Quest matches well because it has a character design that was originally somewhat deformed, like in Dragon Quest Monsters.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:00

>>74There was quite a sense of discomfort with World FF…

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:54

It’s nice that 2 is helping out because humans’ specs are also improving.
The first one is really tough because all the creativity is taken away from humans, so the protagonist has to do everything.
I want to protect it properly for that reason.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:56

I don’t know how the boss fight in Level 1 will attack…
I think there are quite a few people whose height is misaligned with their longbow.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:57Yeahx1

>>75I didn’t know that having a roof helps with tornado protection, so I struggled…

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:56Yeahx1

The tutorial and minimum goals are provided, so it’s nice that you can easily make arrangements just within the game.
In other games, you have to research it.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:56

Just kidding!

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:57

Originally, this was a project for a sandbox game in the FF series.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:59

If possible, even an original one, please release a sandbox game with this level of flow and comfort.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:59

I stopped halfway through 1, but 2 was really interesting the whole time.

83: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)13:59Yeahx1

Is it a character from the Chocobo series if it’s like this in FF?
It seems that the pickaxe or hammer for breaking blocks will become a beak or claw.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:01

>>83Isn’t it possible to extend the monster tamer?

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:00

Did version 1 get updated?

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:00

FF is not as pop as Dragon Quest.
I might be able to manage if it’s a Chocobo.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:01

Mermaids and the sea are scary.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:04

>>89Since it’s a game about developing the land, it’s true that we shouldn’t come to the sea.
I never thought I would feel so scared.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:03Yeahx3

It’s nice to be allowed to assemble things freely when I want to.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:04

Shido… you…
It’s yellowing!!

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:04

I’ve already restarted it about four times from the beginning.
I turned the surface of Monzora into a park and created a hidden farm underground.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:04Yeahx1

Although 1 is obviously inferior to 2 systemically, it’s nice that it has its own uniqueness in scenario direction.
I like the beginning of chapters 2 and 4.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:09

>>94It’s amazing how something like “rotten corpses,” which Dragon Quest players should be used to, can still deliver a sense of despair.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:05Yeahx3

1 and 2 are quite different in terms of gaming experience, right?

96: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:05

It might be too lacking in mining elements to be called Minecraft.
I think this is correct in its own way.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:09Yeahx1

There was a screenshot from the demo version of 1.2016, huh…
There was a screenshot from the demo version of 1.
2016, huh…

99: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:10

Seeing the name of Bird Studio makes me gloomy.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:11

Half of the world

101: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:12

Playing Dragon Quest 1 properly makes the experience about 200 million times more enjoyable.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:13

I like creating rooms that are one tile wide for no reason.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:21

>>102Place the door and the jar.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:14

I liked the feeling of working together with everyone while laying out the blueprint.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:15Yeahx1

The Dragon Quest series has a similar town scenery in all its titles, so it was a good fit for a block-style sandbox.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:22

I wanted more post-clear elements…
Not just architecture, but also battles, etc.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:23

Citizens jumping over walls even with a nicely made pathway.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:24

Even if I dig a hole and embed a door, I realized it wouldn’t become a room, and my base ended up being full of things like that.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:28

When I looked at the early save data, I burst out laughing at the town that looked like a trench.
Less than Tofu House

110: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:29

I bought it on sale and cleared Rimuldar, but I was really exhausted.
It was fun, but really exhausting.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:33

The part where it really drains your stamina is the essence of a Dragon Quest scenario.
That hero or something.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:34

>>111It’s a scenario where we can’t not bring him out, but when he’s finally brought out, the shock is overwhelming.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:35

>>112It’s tough that everyone is being considerate!

113: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:35

Now is the time for a remake of Builders 1, which I think is essential.
It’s about the water jar and imports.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:36

>>113The Steam version 1 has various convenient features and tools from version 2 imported.
There is no jar of thirst.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:35Yeahx2

The trauma elements of the scenario are often mentioned as well.
Personally, I like that the crude humor elements also strongly reflect the Dragon Quest vibe.
“How to make a large hammer” and other things like that.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews25/06/11(Wed)14:37Yeahx2

Is it surprisingly Minecraft? But it’s a bit different, it’s properly an RPG.
