Published just a few days ago, the Minecraft-esque game Dragon Quest Builders shows off game play, tools, quests, traps and monsters. Check it out below. Weirdly- No PC. Yeah, that confused us too.

Game is pure bliss. Loving the demo.

BlotGamingCEO2786d ago

Looks pretty bad ass. Like a better minecraft. Trailer was really well done.

S2Killinit2786d ago

Its similar to minecraft but it has a story and plays similar to a zelda game. The demo is cool but ends too quickly leaving you wanting more. I really liked it.

BlotGamingCEO2786d ago

Speaking of Zelda, how freakin' good does the new one look? Haha

@S2Killinit

Did you find the dragon? I started a new playthrough just to build resources and make healing cream. Finally killed it, got a "comfy couch". It's green and ugly but I made a room around it and sit on it like a throne.

NecoTehSergal2785d ago

I finished the demo and found all the secret chests - defeated the dragon to get the 'Secret drop' (Won't spoil what it drops I mean, for those curious - but it does take a bit to kill him, use the Cypress stick instead).

It is nicely optimized, colourful and addictive, my only complaint is? Similar to No Man's Sky - It's full priced, $79.99 CAD here, or $59.99 USD. For this, you'd at least think you'd get Coop, or Online Coop with a game that looks like this, a Minecraft-esque Building game where you adventure and build stuff - No :( No coop with friends, it's just single player. Of course, that's the only comparison to No Mans Sky that I'd make cause THIS GAME is actually optimized, complete, fun, and likely has a lot of stuff to keep you busy.

Just, $30 feels more 'Right' to me. Am I the only one? If it had a robust online experience I'd throw my money at Full Price, but for it just being single player and what may be a game with no replayability after beating it? Idunno. Had fun though, it's just unfortunate too that the Demo save file is NOT transferable :/

BlotGamingCEO2785d ago

Throw me a message. This was well written and my company is in need of writers. :)

NecoTehSergal2785d ago

I'm touched - But I'm just an online ranter, I do give commentary/review on Youtube on my channel of games I'm given by devs and that I buy though :P

mt2785d ago

the sound track took me back to both anime " dragon warrior legend of the hero abel" and " Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibōken"
I am guessing previous dragon quest have similar soundtrack but I never played one before.
I am excited for the game even thought there is local multiplayers. the difference between no man's sky and this game is they didn't advertise to have multiplayer or even local multiplayer; hence it is not the same as No Man's Sky.

NecoTehSergal2785d ago

The soundtrack did have quite the nostalgia to it.

OB1Biker2785d ago

Are you sure the save file is not transferable? It looked like you can create a special file.
It's a shame there's no coop IMO the only fault I can find. I also hope it's crossbuy with Vita

Loving the demo. Definitely going to buy it at some point. The game shouldn't be $60. Its my only complaint with it. In the mean time DQ Heroes will help pass the time. Another gem.

Feels strange to release now after Dragon Quest Builders 2 has been available for so many years. It was good for its time, but DQ Builders 2 improved on it in so many ways. I'd have a harder time going back to the first one now.

TGG_overlord112d ago

You are correct...So I don't know the thought proecess behind this move...Besides an easy money grab.

OtterX112d ago

I do hope they make a 3rd in the series, so I'll support this easy money grab. I really enjoyed DQ Builders 2 especially. :)

I'd like to see them bring in more advanced building concepts, like Minecraft's redstone machines. I much prefer playing w non-blocky characters, w this Dragon Quest feel.

UltimateOwnage111d ago

Awesome! I love the first game.

ZeekQuattro111d ago

Odd choice. The sequel is better and more realized in every way.

Wait, no new PS1, PS2 or PSP additions?

CrimsonWing69587d ago

It’s frustrating how they barely update that library. I get that Jimbo hates old games, but c’mon, the classic catalogue with trophies was a big draw for me. Was really hoping to get some heavy duty classic PS1 games to platinum. Looks like they’ll do exactly what they did on PS4 with the PS2 library…

LucasRuinedChildhood587d ago (Edited 587d ago )

Games like Resistance: Retribution have already been rated as well so they have some stuff ready.

I think they still don't have a healthy supply of classic games for the next few months and they have to really spread them out ... so because of all those Yakuza remasters on Premium this month ... they made the decision to hold off putting up more PSP or PS1 games until next month. :(

They need clearer communication on this. They could have said that we can look forward to some PSP games next month or something.

FinalFantasyFanatic586d ago

I'm so glad I stuck with the essential tier, I'd be ticked paying more with the expectation that the classic catalogue would be regularly updated and built up. The classic catalogue was the biggest draw of the upper tiers for me, so not seeing any new PS1 games is pretty disappointing.

Ben Dover587d ago

While the VC remake is a turd, this is an impressive month.

SlothLordPootus587d ago

Has vice city been fixed? If not it feels like a weird addition. Lots for Dragon Quests fans.

jeromeface587d ago

fixed? Its kinda hard to fix something that was a mobile port to begin with... so no

cluclap587d ago

It wasn't a mobile port though? The team that made them did the mobile games but if I remember the actual remakes aren't the mobile versions.

andy85587d ago

Playing it at the moment. It actually looks pretty clean. I'm on PS5 though, can't comment for other versions. I guess the updates helped a bit

VersusDMC587d ago

If you like assassins creed and Dragon Quest enjoy the multiple games.

Just plan on playing Medium and the Yakuza remasters right now.

EvertonFC587d ago

"inside" indie game looks interesting for sure too

SlothLordPootus587d ago

Inside is great. If youve played limbo it's very similar

dazzysima587d ago

Seems the PS Plus offer is running out of steam already.

Have they even added any new trials since launch?

rob-GP587d ago

Yes, loads - they just stupidly havn't updated the list on the console!

I can't recall of the top of my head but there's been a bunch of games, probably about 10 or so. I'm gonna drop Shu another email and try and get him to tell the UX team to update the list. It's annoying when they don't update things

VersusDMC587d ago

I checked out the soulstice trial recently. And i heard they added dying light 2 so i might check that one out as well.

MrNinosan587d ago

Running out of steam? This month is amazing, and the months before it has been great aswell.
At least 3 of the Dragon Quest games are great, Medium is okay, Assassins Creed is nice gems for those who missed put, Inside amazing, Castlevania superb, the Yakuza remakes are fantastic.

Lots of Trials has been added simce launch.
If you don't use the service or are interested enough to first check what's there, why comment?
