About The Game
To stop the worshippers of an ancient evil, you must join forces with the mysterious Malroth and build a ravaged world into the realm of your dreams. In this RPG adventure, you’ll explore huge islands, gather and craft with materials, design towns, level them up, and defend them from monsters and bosses alongside townspeople. As you progress, you’ll unearth crafting and building recipes. Dash, glide, explore underwater, fast travel, and play in optional first-person perspective as you try to find them all. In the Isle of Awakening, you and up to three other Builders can explore together in local wireless; or play online together too.
Share screenshots by posting them online through the Noticeboard, or visit other players’ islands and use the Magic Pencil to create a blueprint of a favorite creation. You can get recipes that let you craft the Legendary Builder’s outfit and the Dragonlord’s Throne by owning the original DRAGON QUEST BUILDERS game on the Nintendo Switch™ system. Why not adventure in style as you take quests to help those in need, engage in the daily lives of townspeople, and master the latest farming techniques? All in a day’s work for the Builder!

I think I’m actually going to get this this time. I’ve never gotten into Minecraft, but Terraria I have. Ok I didn’t just “get into” Terraria, I’ve lost soooo many hours in that. Looking forward to doing it again in 3D with DQB 2.
Might swing through the 1st ones demo again just to reconfirm again but I’m pretty sure I’ll be getting this second one.
Picked up my copy today. Day one, PLAY!!!
I need help early game and there is absolutely nothing or nobody who can help on the entire internet.
So frustrating..
I accidentally dug up my healthy dirt where you plant your seeds in Furrowfield and do not know how to plant my wheat seeds.
After beating this game, and building up my island afterwards, I still don't know why I enjoyed this game so much. It's competent, to be sure, but combat is bland, the story is fine, but not particular interesting, and although building is fun the game doesn't give you much of a chance to get creative until the post game. And yet I had a ball of a time. I still can't explain it. But I would recommend it. It's a fine game, not gonna blow your mind or anything, but I liked it a lot.
@CmmdrHalestrom I feel the same :3 I think it might be because...oh idk, how awesome Malroth is and the adventure we go on with him? XD
