There's no need to worry about stamina meters to limit your moves, no weight to encumber you, or stringent bag limits for the things you carry in the field. Beyond gathering materials and building stuff, you'll engage in a few regular fights and boss fights to protect your villages.įor the most part, this is for a more casual player to the genre, so you won't see anything really advanced. Aside from adhering to the requested size, all you need is a door and four walls that are two blocks high. If a building is needed, you'll need to build the blocks first before creating the building. Most quests involve the creation of a new item or building, so most of your time is spent harvesting raw materials and bringing them to your workbench, so you can combine them and craft them into something more useful. With your status as a builder, you have a general idea about what to expect from the main gameplay loop. In her case, you'll either relate to her astonishment at exclaiming, "OMG" or groan as she proclaims that your "building skills are lit, fam." The only outlier is Britney, a warrior who speaks like a modern-day 20-something. Continuing a tradition that started from Dragon Quest VII, almost everyone sports a British accent. Lines from other creatures are often delivered without the expected melodrama. Two characters constantly argue about what to name the island once everything has been fixed up. Otherwise, the game is all about being humorous without delving completely into comedy. A few serious moments are also brought up, such as a mysterious voice haunting Malroth with a predictable twist or seeing a character get sacrificed so others can fight on. The story is mostly a lighthearted affair, but there are some dark moments, such as seeing the corpses of those involved in the shipwreck wash away with the tide. You set off in search of people who can make the Isle of Awakening habitable, while helping them solve their own problems along the way. A fierce storm caused a shipwreck, and you awaken on a seemingly deserted island with the ship's only other survivor and a young man named Malroth, an aggressive amnesiac. You play the role of an apprentice builder who has been captured on a ship and forced to do tasks before your imminent demise. Calling themselves the Children of Hargon, they have scoured the world trying to kill all builders and outlawing any form of creation whatsoever. While the main villain was defeated, his minions still lived, and it took time for them to regroup and plot their revenge. The story takes place sometime after the events of the first game, with the Dragonlord being defeated at the hands of the newly awakened builder. Close to three years later, we're getting Dragon Quest Builders 2, a sequel that is just as good as you'd hoped it would be, despite the transfer of development duties from an internal Square Enix studio to Koei Tecmo's own Omega Force. Not only did it succeed in giving a purpose to the actual building of things, but it also ended up being an excellent experience since everything working correctly. When the game came out, it turned out to be a full-fledged RPG adventure with freeform building as the main mechanic instead of fighting. When the original Dragon Quest Builders was announced, many people thought it was going to be a Minecraft clone wearing a Dragon Quest skin.
