![]() ![]() Right down to the blocky look, those that have played Mojang’s building title will feel right at home with Dragon Quest Builders 2. It’s the core gameplay that borrows the most from the ever-popular Minecraft. ![]() It’s important to build the basics too, as if you’re not properly fed, you’ll starve to death, and if you don’t have a safe place to sleep in the dead of night powerful monsters will come and attack the town. You gather basic materials such as dirt or wood and create different items and new blocks to make your villagers’ lives easier and safer. The base game for Builders 2 is almost identical to the first title. ![]() More helpful townspeople aside, you’re still the main character, and you’re still there to build new towns and craft all sorts of items. They abundance of townsfolk can also stress the experience in other ways - when you start getting a bunch of townspeople, I experienced some stretches slowdown on the Switch version in the town, though it wasn’t always present. For one, there’s an overload of dialogue-sometimes, I just want the banter between Malroth and the other townspeople to stop so I can do a quest. This, combined with your constant amnesic companion Malroth, definitely makes Dragon Quest Builder 2 a lively game. It makes the world feel more alive as you work to rebuild towns and people return to your island to make a builder’s paradise. They’ll even help build if you give them direction, or rebuild parts of the town after the battle. The townspeople in Dragon Quest Builders 2 will actively create, grow, and cook. No longer do townspeople mainly sit around and occasionally help with cooking or creating an item. This spills over into the gameplay as well. Instead of just being the builder that needs to revive the world for the betterment of mankind, characters have their own motivations and objectives, and your character is more there to assist than to fix everyone’s problems. From there, you may not be the chosen one, but it’s up to you to revitalize the surrounding islands and bring the joy of creation back to the world.ĭragon Quest Builders 2 actually places a bit more emphasis on the story as expected. You’re removed from a miserable death, however, and wash up on an almost abandoned island. ![]() However, sometime later, the Children of Hargon have taken over, destroying the land and conscripting humans to their religion of destruction.Īs a builder, you’re their mortal enemy-the Children of Hargon want only to destroy as per the god they serve, and your goal is to create. In Builders 2, the Scions of Erdrick defeated Hargon and the God of Destruction and saved the world. With Dragon Quest Builders 2, Square Enix has listened to criticisms and offers a lot of new quality of life improvements, making this a superior sequel.ĭragon Quest Builders 2 takes place after the events of Dragon Quest II, similar to how the first Dragon Quest Builders followed a ‘what-if’ story of the original Dragon Quest. For all the fun I had with the original title, there was no denying that Dragon Quest Builders was missing important mechanics to make it a more perfect experience. When Dragon Quest Builders 2 was announced, I was obviously excited but more so intrigued. When I played the original game a couple of years ago, I was completely addicted to rebuilding the ruined world of the original Dragon Quest. But 2016's Dragon Quest Builders was a blast. Dragon Quest and Minecraft-it’s a mix that, frankly, shouldn’t make sense. ![]()
