About Dragon Quest Builders
Dragon Quest Builders is a 2016 role-playing game developed by Square Enix Business Division 5 and published by Nintendo, part of the Dragon Quest series. It released on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and Android, holding a 8.1 / 10 aggregate score.
"Dragon Quest Builders is a sandbox action RPG where your imagination is the limit! Everything plays out in real time and the world is made entirely of blocks (although it may not look that blocky) and you can use these blocks to build pretty much whatever you want.
Building is easy and can be done in three steps: 1. Plan what you’re going to build!
2. Gather your resources!
3. Begin construction and create your masterpiece!
There is an overarching main storyline to follow in Dragon Quest Builders so if you want a narrative to get attached to and pull you through, that’s in there too. It wouldn’t be a Dragon Quest game without one after all!
Oh and there’s plenty of quirky side quests and NPCs to give you that full RPG experience, just with the additional sandbox gameplay and monsters to battle as well."

Story
"Generations ago, the realm of Alefgard was plunged into darkness by the terrible and treacherous Dragonlord, ruler of all monsters. Mankind was robbed of the power to build and forced to wander the ruins of their former home, scrounging and scavenging in the dust to survive.
Now it’s up to you, a Legendary Builder chosen by the Goddess herself, to return the power of creation to the people and rebuild Alefgard. Only when the wonder of imagination has been returned will mankind be able to overthrow the evil Dragonlord once and for all!"
