Dragon Quest Builders Reviews
It's great that yet another awesome Dragon Quest spin-off is now available for PlayStation 4.
Whether with its human and dark stories, its fun building mode or its RPG aspect of world exploration with its secrets and objectives, the first Builders manages to build much more than just a solid foundation for its bizarre gameplay idea.

It is expected that all DLC will be included in the very pleasant price and you can find all the things you can expect from a PC port. The resolution and frame rate can be significantly higher than previous versions and with a much greater draw distance, this is the definitive version of Dragon Quest: Builders that you can purchase. Although this port is a bit late, it is a very good port of a game that is still fun.

Dragon Quest Builders is an excellent game. It smartly fuses the crafting elements of Minecraft with the engaging JRPG design of Dragon Quest. Even the aesthetics are beautifully combined to create an appealing world to interact with. The PC version is also the best way to experience Dragon Quest Builders, with customizable graphics options that allow the game to achieve higher spec graphics than its preceding versions and can run the game well even on low-powered systems. Not to mention, the DLC and useful features from the sequel have been included to create the ultimate package at a low price to boot! The few quibbles I have can be ironed out through patches, and all of the pros make me forget about my minuscule nitpicks.
Dragon Quest Builders, despite its issues, brilliantly marries the sandbox survival gameplay style with traditional Japanese RPG storytelling. Fans of the franchise will feel right at home with a whole roster of familiar monsters to fight and a nostalgia-filled soundtrack. Whatever your play-style, whether it be story progression or building to your heart's content, you can expect to pour countless hours into this game and continue to be entertained. Dragon Quest Builders is easily one of the best games of 2016 and quite possibly the most addictive.
Dragon Quest Builders has a little for each and is much fun for everyone, it is a game with solid mechanics, a superb narrative from the hand of Square Enix, an epic soundtrack and a singular graphic style with a lot of personality that will certainly give you hours of entertainment at the cost of many laughable moments, determination and creativity!

Dragon Quest Builders is truly unique and is definitely a worthwhile experience. Despite being available for PlayStation for over a year it’s still hugely playable on Switch
The Dragon Quest / Minecraft hodgepodge is something you’d probably never dream of asking for, or even expect to work. But I am so glad that it is a thing.
Dragon Quest Builders take the best of the Minecraft gameplay and the charming world of Dragon Quest to give us a very recommendable RPG-crafting game, that could be better for a lot of people that the game that inspires that game.

Dragon Quest Builders is more than just a Dragon Quest skin slapped on a Minecraft clone. The series heart and soul is all over this game and is sure to please fans of the series. The Minecraft elements are also more streamlined and easier to deal with for players not used to this style of game. The visuals are stunning, and the audio brilliant. The visuals do take a hit in handheld mode, and the combat leaves much to be desired, but the game's shortcomings are never enough to ruin the absolute joy playing this game gives you. It is much cheaper on other platforms, but even at full price, this game has enough content to make it worth your hard-earned cash.
Dragon Quest Builders is a game that more than deserves your attention on Nintendo Switch. Your character may not be a hero, but the chance to rebuild ruined towns is not only brilliantly executed, but lends a sense of accomplishment that other games in the genre haven’t achieved as successfully. For once, we can leave more obvious heroics to one side and bask in our creative wonder.
Dragon Quest Builders has found its ideal home on the Nintendo Switch. The building and crafting game fits right in and can be a wonderful time, especially as a companion game to other activities. While the issues are still very present, there is still a lot of fun to be had which holds more weight for first time players.
Dragon Quest Builders combines action adventures with a minecraft-like sandbox with ease and manages to stand on its own feet. A funny, creative adventure for everybody that is sometimes a bit too simple but never gets boring.

Offering the perfect balance of comfy fun, Dragon Quest Builders allows you to kick back on your couch and get creative!
What else can I say about this game? It’s Minecraft and Dragon Quest. The campaign is just the beginning. If you have invested as many hours as I have into this game it just shows how easy it is to get lost in the world of Dragon Quest Builders. Not only is it a great Dragon Quest game but it far surpasses any sandbox game I have played. What you can make in this game is only limited to your imagination and the time you have to invest into it.
I went into this review with rather low expectations, and wound up with a title that I would recommend highly to any owner of a PS4.
Dragon Quest Builders is one game that is definitely worth your time and commitment if you are a fan of the series, a fan of creation within games, or even better, both of those combined.
Dragon Quest Builders is an awesome experience and I truly hope that Square Enix makes more of these. They have many more Dragon Quest titles that can use or even just a sequel since this is a parallel world. If they could add one thing other than better inventory management however? It would be coop as this would definitely be better with a partner as Breanna and I have played this side by side for hours at a time and it would have been fun to help one another out instead of simply showing them where other things were or pulling out plans for them to emulate to level up their town faster.
Square Enix has produced a great game that successfully straddles the line between action RPG and creative freedom
