Dragon Quest Builders employs a LEGO-style of building and crafting that players of Minecraft will be very familiar with. But then again, that’s because it doesn’t need to be. The narrative’s strength lies not in its writing, but in the structure it provides to what’s really the game’s best aspect- building. It’s serviceable, but, as you might expect, nothing special. " Dragon Quest Builders provides the same level of freedom to create and mine to the player as Minecraft, but manages to do so within a concrete structure that shapes the way you play in interesting ways." It’s characterized by the classic brand of Dragon Quest humour, such as people constantly making remarks about how no one in the world but the Builder seems to be capable of building anything, and callbacks and references make it all feel like a very authentic spinoff. In and of itself, it works as a serviceable setup.
You’re reborn as the fabled Builder into this ruinous version of the world, and your job is to rebuild it piece by piece, while also fighting to save its citizens. In Builders’ alternate version of Alefgard though, at the end of the first game, rather than saving Alefgard, the hero ended up siding with the Dragonlord, leaving the world in darkness.

Dragon Quest Builders, which first launched in 2016 and has now made its way over to the Nintendo Switch, is Square Enix’s answer to that. While the free-form creation is great to flex your creative muscles, after a while, the aimlessness of it all makes you start losing interest. But there are many that would argue that there’s one thing that’s wrong with it. The Minecraft gameplay loop has a very unique charm that draws players to it in droves, players that then stay for hundreds of gameplay hours.
