Dragon Quest Builders
SCORE: 75
Square Enix PR and Marketing failed us completely. Which is why I am so pleased Family Friendly Gaming stepped up to the plate and did the right thing by purchasing a copy of Dragon Quest Builders on the Playstation 4. This Minecraft clone masterfully merges the Dragon Quest role playing franchise with the crafting and mining mega franchise. We find people, do quests, mine for things, craft things, and build our towns. Defenses are very important in Dragon Quest Builders since your town will get attacked by monsters.
There are issues families want to know about in Dragon Quest Builders. There is religious indoctrination and proselytizing of a false goddess, violence, blood, bad language, enticement to lust, undead, monsters, and more. Do not try to swim in Dragon Quest Builders. You will sink like a rock and lose some hit points. Also remember to feed your character.
The music in Dragon Quest Builders is exceptional. I love the concept of a story in a Minecraft clone. Chapters in Dragon Quest Builders are long. Expect to do a lot in each of the four chapters. The graphics look good. Certainly better than Minecraft. I love the idea of having the power of creation, and rebuilding what has been destroyed. Armor and weapons will wear out and break in Dragon Quest Builders. Make sure you have back ups. There are tons of items to find and craft in Dragon Quest Builders. Maps are huge and the teleporters help out a lot.
Dragon Quest Builders has its issues. Dragon Quest Builders has its problems. There are a few content items I wish Square Enix had left off. I hated making a change to a room and having to wait for it to tell me the room was destroyed. Then I would add the new item, and I got a second message it was now a certain kind of a room again. Dragon Quest Builders has some charm to it.
My biggest complaint against Minecraft is the lack of a deep story. Don’t get me started on the lack of gameplay in Minecraft Story Mode. Dragon Quest Builders merges story telling with the Minecraft concept. It does it quite well too. I really enjoyed playing Dragon Quest Builders on the PS4. If I had to put a brand new price on Dragon Quest Builders I would say this crafting role playing video game is worth thirty dollars.
