Join me as I dive into the story-based, Minecraft-esque Dragon Quest Builders. Set after an alternate ending of the original Dragon Quest where the Dragonlord achieved domination of Alefgard. We play a nameless hero who has the magical ability to “Build”, something lost after the Dragonlord’s victory.
This is my second stream of this game where I continue my efforts of rebuilding the Chapter 1 city of Cantlin. I get to explore a desert, make some more changes to the city, spend more time ruining my throat voicing Rollo, kill a dragon, and make some confessions to having made some changes to the game during my downtime…
About Dragon Quest Builders
Dragon Quest Builders is a 2016 sandbox action-RPG game developed by Square Enix, which TonyKM is playing on the PlayStation 4. The game is a spinoff of the Dragon Quest series, and acts as a ‘What If?’ sequel set in the world of Alefgard, the world of the very first game. Heavily inspired by Minecraft, the game consists of a four-chapter story in which the player can restore light to different parts of the world, and a sandbox mode allowing full creative allowance.
The story takes place countless years after an alternate ending in which the hero of Dragon Quest accepted the evil Dragonlord’s proposal to each rule half of the world; this led to the Dragonlord tricking the hero, and claiming the world for himself and his monsters. Generations later, a mystical ‘Builder’ awakens in a chamber and is tasked with bringing light back to the world of Alefgard by the goddess Rubiss. And thus begins our adventure!
