When talking about games that have the ability to penetrate almost every market segment, to the point of being able to be everything for her, one of them is the Dragon Quest series. If anyone is a fan of this game series, they would know that aside from the main series of RPG games, other spin-offs or games with the Dragon Quest name are all games that are not in English. There are monster-catching games like Pokemon in Dragon Quest Monsters or older dungeon-crawling games like Torneko's Great Adventure. This doesn't even include card games, board games, and Musou-style army fighting games. If there were a racing game, a generator-opening game, and a shooting game, it would have covered every genre in the gaming industry. Even a game like Minecraft is available in Dragon Quest Builders. And on January 28, 2016, it was the 9th anniversary of Dragon Quest Builders' release. Let's go back in time and look at the story of this game together.
Starting with the story of Dragon Quest Builders, it tells the story of a parallel world of the first Dragon Quest. If anyone remembers in the game Dragon Quest 1, the Dragon King will ask us a question, "Brave, you are very good at coming here. I have a proposal. If you agree to join our group, I will divide the world for you to rule in half." Of course, a brave person like us would say no and a fight would ensue. But at that time, what if the brave person agreed? That is the story of this game. We will play as Builders, who were chosen to help the land of Alefgard return to normal. By helping people repair the village and defeating the demon lord and the brave who defected. That is the rough story of this game.
In terms of gameplay, even though it is said that it is similar to the gameplay of Minecraft, including building things, fighting, and traveling to collect materials to build cities and various items, but in Dragon Quest Builders, there is still a complete Dragon Quest feel, from the story, scenes, characters, to the gameplay system, where we have to accept missions to help different villages where the villagers want us to build or repair items. When we accept a mission, we have to go out and find materials to build that item. When we have completed it, at the end of each level in each village, there will be a battle with the demon army. We have to cooperate with the villagers to fight. When we win, we go to the next village until the end of the game, which I must say is very fun and interesting.
The fun of this game is to travel to collect materials. The fighting is similar to the old The Legend of Zelda games, except that we don't have magic in the fighting. In addition to creating according to the normal storyline as the game requires, we can also build houses and things ourselves as we want. Anyone who has played Minecraft will be able to play this game immediately. In terms of the success of this game, Famitsu gave the game a score of 9 points from all 3 people. IGN gave the game a score of 8.9 out of 10 points, saying that "Dragon Quest Builders is an admirable combination of RPG games and Minecraft."
GameSpot gave the game a score of 8.0 out of 10, saying, "The excellence of Dragon Quest Builders speaks as much to the diversity of this 30-year-old franchise as it does to the enchanting charm of Minecraft-inspired creations." Kotaku ranked the game among the top ten games of 2016, and at the 20th annual DICE Awards, the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences nominated Dragon Quest Builders for Portable Game of the Year and Family Game of the Year.
Anyone interested in playing the game Dragon Quest Builders is still available on various game consoles and PC. But if you really want to have fun playing it, I recommend playing Dragon Quest Builders 2 instead. Because the first Dragon Quest Builders still has many systems that are a bit annoying, such as the inventory space that we can carry, the scenes that aren't very wide, and the variety of things to build. While the second part gives us more freedom and the story is fun and interesting. Try finding it and playing it, you will definitely love this series. Then you will know why the Dragon Quest series is everything in the gaming industry for you.
