![]() ![]() Weapons, armor, and tools are separated from your standard resources and crafted items, and you’ll have multiple types of tools at your disposal as you advance. There are multiple story focused islands to explore, and then smaller resource heavy islands to check out, where you’ll have a handy checklist of items to find that can give out bonus rewards upon completion. ![]() Online multiplayer that supports up to 4 players, a new glide item that allows you to jump off of high objects and glide across vast areas (think Breath of the Wild), villagers that’ll auto-build certain structures while you’re off adventuring, and more. There’s a lot of other tweaks and additions present in Dragon Quest Builders 2 as well. The combination of simpler blocks with more detailed objects helps make the whole thing just pop out more, and for me ends up being more visually appealing than other Minecraft inspired titles. Carving out fields, rivers, lakes, and more in conjunction with large buildings, a variety of building materials, and seeing NPC’s just strolling about really makes for an impressive image. It helps that the writing in Dragon Quest Builders 2 is really good, humorous and entertaining throughout, much like the mainline Dragon Quest series.ĭragon Quest Builders 2 also looks really great, which won’t come as a big surprise for those that played the first game, but it certainly still manages to wow me when I scale back my view and take in whatever progress I’ve made. ![]() The story does a great job of piecing out projects for you to tackle, getting players accustomed to the building mechanics but also doing so at a fast enough pace that it won’t bore returning players.

The overall story revolves around the Children of Hargon capturing or enslaving builders, and restricting the world from being able to build anything new. Most notably the enemy faction dubbed The Children of Hargon, and Malroth, Lord of Destruction. Just like the original Dragon Quest Builders took cues from NES/Famicom Dragon Quest, Builder 2 incorporates elements of Dragon Quest II. Much like the original, the blending of a Minecraft-esque building mechanic with Dragon Quest characters and world design works extremely well, and makes for a really unique action-RPG that’s unlike anything else. There’s so much to do here, exploration, building, quests and side quests, quirky character interactions, crafting and so on, that you’re constantly moving forward and progressing through the game however you see fit. As much as I enjoyed Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age, I think I might actually like Dragon Quest Builders 2 even more. ![]()
