Square Enix recently released a new trailer for "Dragon Quest Builder," a new game to be added to the Dragon Quest series. The new game will usher in the 30th anniversary of the series, along with "Dragon Quest Heroes II" and "Dragon Quest VII" 3DS.
"Dragon Quest Builders" will be released by October of this year for the PlayStation 4 and PS Vita. Gamers in North America will be happy to hear that Square Enix will be releasing the game in the West, as stated by the new trailer.
"Dragon Quest Builder" is mainly inspired by Minecraft." The game takes place in Alfegard, which is the original world of the Dragon Quest series. According to HardCoreGamer, the hero of the game must rebuild the world because the original hero of Alfegard, who is the first hero in this gaming series, was tainted by evil.
The main character of the game is Brandon. He must save the world of Alfegard by completing tasks or missions for people in the world. The tasks differ greatly from building someone a house to finding items.
It would seem that gamers will have to suffer through a whole list of chores to finish the game, which may not be that much fun. In fact, Cassidee Moser, who wrote a review on the game's demo, was not very pleased with it.
Moser writes, "Dragon Quest Builders appears interesting on the surface, but its shallow way of blending different game types leaves much to be desired." Based off Moser's review, the game is probably far from finished.
It would seem that developers need to work on the storyline and gameplay of "Dragon Quest Builders." From Moser's description, the game seems to progress every time Brandon completes a task and it looks like there is an endless list of chores to complete.
In addition, due to the unyielding list of demands from the citizens of Alfegard, the game leaves very little time for the player to explore the world freely. Since players can't explore on their own, the game is filled with tutorial after tutorial in blocked texts explaining how the game's world works.
Despite the game's awful first impression, Moser believes it can still turn out well if developers work on improving it.
