Once you collect a resource, a list of new items can be created. Since I’m now in the Desert of Damdara, there’s a ton more resources to collect. Eventually I was able to change my dirt town into a great looking town with stone walls, scones on the walls, flagstone walkways, and nice trees. I keep gathering resources and building better materials. This is how the game progresses so far for me. Using this book, he gives you some additional quests to find new items and recipes. Rollo is a scholar who has been writing the Canticle of Cantlin based on old writings he found. Now I have a room to build items and with a chest in the room, Pippa can also build items and store them for my later use.īlueprints, like this one, are given to you by the villagers.įurther along in the game another villager appears, Rollo. Using the blueprint that Pippa gave me, I was able to make a blacksmith’s workshop. Blueprints tell you exactly where to put the blocks and furniture items. Your villagers will also give you blueprints. Boom! Done! Other rooms I’ve made so far: blacksmith’s shop, crude kitchen, blacksmith’s studio, a watchtower, a private bedroom, a fancy inn, and an armory. For instance, a basic bedroom needs one light source, a bed, and a pot. Each type of room has basic furniture requirements. Once that’s complete you have an empty room. In order to do that you set earth blocks in the gaps in the walls. First you have to build a room to sleep in. Pippa will have quests for you to complete and each quest is meant to help you get better acquainted with collecting resources, building rooms and making materials. Shortly after, a new villager named Pippa appeared. Setting down my Banner of Hope, I created a welcoming beacon for potential villagers to see. Starting off in a new town and all the materials are mismatched. DQB provides just enough freedom to build the city however you want while at the same time making sure that you are given the right amount of guidance to get you from point A to point B. I really need and appreciate direction and structure in my games. If you’re like me, playing Minecraftisn’t an option because it is too open-ended. There’s not a whole lot to deal with here. Once you got all that down you leave the crypt to explore the wide open world of Cantlin. You’re also shown how to collect and lay down the earth blocks. You are given a stick that you can use to whack flowers for a medicinal salve. In the crypt, the game walks you through basic movements and simple recipes. I’m sure I’ll be visiting other places as well, but for now, I’ve made it to the Desert. Later on, you’ll visit Hammerhood Heights (where all the Hammerhoods live) and the Desert of Damdara (also from Dragon Warrior and Dragon Warrior III). The first town you inhabit is Cantlin, which made its appearance in both Dragon Warriorand Dragon Warrior III. Easy peasy.ĭragon Quest Builders is set in the world of Alefgard, from the original Dragon Quest/Warrior game. You have been in a deep sleep for a long time, but the goddess Rubiss (from Dragon Warrior II) has awoken you so you can start rebuilding the world. At some point the builders were lost when the lands were ravaged by the Dragonlord. A voice speaks to you and tells you about the builders of old, these almost mythical people who could build things with their hands. In DBQ, a different reality exists in which the Dragonlord won and has plunged Alefgard into darkness. In that game you have the defeat the evil Dragonlord in order to save the Kingdom of Alefgard. The story behind Dragon Quest Builders comes from the original Dragon Quest/Warrior game. The game has a linear story that you follow and there are quests that you complete along the way. You can choose to be a male or a female and you can name your character whatever you wish (within 8 characters). You have a character that you can do some light customization on, such as hair color, eye color and clothes. After 10+ hours put into this game, I can say that this game is amazing.ĭragon Quest Builders, though it shares some of the resource gathering and building aspects with Minecraft, is not a pure sandbox game. It’s my hope that the more money I give them, the more western DQ releases will happen for consoles. Square Enix brings their builder/RPG game to the west.Īfter 5 months of waiting for this title to be released, it’s finally here! As a person who has never played Minecraft (gasp), I wanted to give this game a shot because it’s a Dragon Quest title and I wanted to give Square Enix my money.
