At first glance, it appears to be a typical Minecraft clone, but it's much much more. Honestly, it feels more like dark cloud (a great series that you should play) in a dragon quest world, with Minecraft bits tossed in. The game has a story that is surprisingly good, the gameplay is addictive, the building is fun, the style is fresh, really my only issue with the game is the combat is mehh, and at times, the pacing felt a bit off. If you're a fan of dark cloud and dragon quest, this game is a must own.… Expand

   You can get lost for many hours by just spending time in thinking out how to build your town. You have to gather the resources, and step by step make something cozy and adorable looking.
   
   The story is actually quite interesting, with a lot of adult jokes in a game that looks very innocent. Cool boss fights, and a meaning to the building aspect by having invasions to destroy your little town. Characters are funny, but tapping a hundred times x to get through all the dialogue can get pretty boring.
   
   The combat is okay, it isn't very deep or special. Dodging is even impossible at times. It serves its purpose well enough. You craft better gear, which means you can fight the more stronger opponents.
   
   The game has interesting hidden quest and items that keep you busy apart from the story. And on top of that there is also a Free Build mode!
   
   However, some negative points: It is way to easy to get to city level 5. The points either need to be adjusted, or this level system needs to be raised to something like level 10 max. The building area of a town isn't very big, which can be countered by making your view better. However third person view inside buildings with roofs is horrible. Also, the intro shows very well all the awesome items like roofs and windows, yet these aren't present to make in the story. That's a big negative.
   
   All in all an excellent game. I give it an 8/10.… Expand

I have played Dragon Warrior/Quest games since the beginning, and when I heard that there was going to be a builder style version of the game I was instantly upset, thinking that it would be a complete Minecraft rip-off with nothing new to add to the game other than a few classic tunes. This game was nothing like I could have imagined. It brought back the old feel of the original Dragon Quest in a new style of play. While it looks like Minecraft, the game play is nothing like it at all. It basically functions as a standard JRPG in a sandbox world. And the world is not generated at random so the story and direction is not done at random. The story is an alternative take to the original game and it comes together at the end. However, when one plays the game for the first time, it feels like you have to play the game four separate times. This is not the case. The story functions as a single unit, you just need to give it time. The battle system is very touchy as well. You have to hit the monsters it seems at very close range and the slightest mistake gets you hit. If you touch a monster you take damage, but if you don't get close enough it hurts you. My other issue with the game is the camera angles. While most of the time they are high quality, the issue I encountered most was when you ventured inside any area that was closed. It was nearly impossible to see where you were going and there are boss battles and mini battles inside these places and they become even more difficult with the lack of control over your vision.
   All and all, this game is very good. I only completed 40% of the trophy set which I plan on revisiting as soon I finish a few other games. It has already dropped in price, and is a good pickup for anyone who already loves Dragon Quest, or someone who is looking to get into the series.… Expand

   In what world did they make these simplistic childish design choices?
   
   Clunky controls. Insultingly basic combat. Your telling me they couldn't come up with ways to impliment all those awesome skills and magics from the dragon quest games? Nope. All your favorite dragon armors, and awesome weapons, monster teams/taming. Not here. Do you gain levels in any way shape or form? Nope - oh so you just gather and build **** running essentially fetch quests with plot devices? Yup. **** This. Game. If your a child, and don't mind insultingly boring fetchy grindy nearly pointless gameplay with blueprints and handholding please. Buy this game. Its a joke. The drastic different between what COULD have been done, and the basic "accessible" pile of **** this game is - is staggering.
   
   Characters are bland and boring.
   
   They decided that the game and AI npcs would only look in a what... 30X30 block radius ( didn't bother to measure ) and that would be your "town"?
   
   Blueprints? Your telling me that you couldn't place a keyblock, say the cauldron for the apothecary that would search in X radius for the various required blocks? The fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
   
   Multiplayer would have been to hard on this simplistic pile of **** What? Why is there no multiplayer.
   
   This entire game is an accessible pleb feast, cashing in on nostalgia.
   
   **** this game.… Expand
