GAMETECH: Dragon Quest Builders builds on the past

THE best games build on what came before. They take the strongest parts of their competitors and break them down to form something even better. Dragon Quest Builders takes this to a whole new level, building on the past in more ways than one.

For a start, this is clearly a game built upon the success of Minecraft. You only need one look at the screenshots to understand this.

The core gameplay of Dragon Quest Builders is entirely modelled on Mojang’s cultural phenomenon, where the world is made of blocks that can be broken down into crafting pieces, which themselves can be combined into new items and structures. It’s where Lego and gaming collide.
