Dragon Quest Builders 2 - Analysis
Again the game comes to us a few months after its release in Japan , although this time Switch users have not had to wait as long and can enjoy the European version of this game at the same time as their colleagues on PlayStation 4.
The game does not vary much in its plot, although it does in some essential functions that we will see later. Again we put ourselves in the shoes of an apprentice builder who has the ability to build in a world where they are prohibited by prevailing religion . And it is that the villains that we saw in the first installment, and without wanting to tell much of that story, have taken over all the worlds and have decided that the buildings are something that they will not tolerate. All the inhabitants are faithful followers of the dreaded order of Hargon, either out of conviction that the builders only bring misery or out of fear. And it is that the basis of the whole argument is that the builder is dedicated to instilling hope in the hearts of the inhabitants of each island and then disappearing leaving each town to their free will, or worse, to see how those buildings are destroyed Carrying in their rubble the hope of their hearts.
Our mission is therefore clear. Make those who want to hear us see how wrong they are. And how are we going to achieve such a task? Well, the only way that a Master Builder would know how to do it. Brandishing the hammer to shape each world to our liking ... and to the needs of those who inhabit it.
The style of play does not vary practically in anything that has already been seen in Dragon Quest Builders, although we have some important improvements. The basis is to destroy areas of the map with our deck to get materials that we will use to make buildings and objects in the areas that interest us. A style of game implanted by Minecraft a few years ago and that has been imitated to the end by countless clone games.
We spoke at the beginning of basic differences between this installment and the previous one, and one of the most striking and important is that the world in which we move is made up of several large islands , which make up the main adventure scenarios, and others Smaller that are optional visits on many occasions. This replaces those magic portals of the first installment with a ship that serves us to perform the same function of traveling from one world to another, providing a greater sense of realism and continuity. The other great novelty, the true contribution to the saga, is that this time we are not alone in our work . And we are not talking about the help of the secondary characters, we will have it in many ways throughout our adventure, we are talking about Malroth, our companion of adventures.
Its importance in the plot, as we will see after a few hours of play, will be key and of course we will not reveal more in this analysis, but we do have to tell how your company influences the playable aspect of the title. Malroth will be in charge of defending us, and we must say that with very good work, each of the not a few attacks that we suffer while we dedicate ourselves to building. This directly affects the core of the game, as it will allow us to dedicate ourselves, if we prefer, to construction work while we let our peculiar companion be in charge of getting their hands dirty with the blood of the monsters that dare to approach.
In addition, it is not a simple weakling companion who gives us a hand as we have seen in other games, no. He is well trained and we can say without hesitation that he is even stronger than the main character, something that makes sense with the evolution of the adventure.
The common link between all these islands is the largest and most deserted of them. An island without its own theme , at first, which will serve as a base of operations and which, of course, we will improve as we go along. It is on this island where we will have more creative freedom when it comes to giving free rein to our imagination, and with the materials that we are obtaining in our trips we will be able and we will have to carry out impressive constructions that will be remembered for generations. If you were one of those who finished the first installment and had access to the extra world at the end of that adventure, this island will remind you a lot of that free place where you will be able to build literally everything you can imagine.
In the visual aspect, the change suffered from one version to another is barely noticeable . The same adorable style with the unmistakable Akira Toriyama seal wraps the whole adventure. But although it is not a game that will go down in the annals of history due to its technical section, we must say that the drawing distance of the objects that make up the map is more than considerable . Something that goes beyond a simple pleasant detail, since it will allow us, for example, to go to a high point on the map to try from there to scan the landscape in search of materials that we need.
We can, for example, see if there are some blocks with precious metals on the mountain that can be seen at the bottom of the map. This becomes important when we visit those small optional islands that we mentioned before, since the task to follow in these is to find the materials of a list in order to complete it and thus obtain, as a reward, an unlimited amount of a specific material. For us to understand each other, in the first of these islands we will get an infinite supply of wood and fiber, basic materials that are used in most constructions.
But this game lives not only from constructions . It is obvious that it is the most important part of the title, but that does not mean that it leaves the rest aside. The role-playing component of the saga from which it takes its name is also present in this installment, and we are not free to rescue helpless characters by playing tricks on us in the attempt, fight against classic enemies of Dragon Quest, such as slimes, and of course The plot of this adventure features a good handful of winks that mainline fans will easily recognize. In addition, the level improvement of our character affects this role- playing component and allows us to see how we are becoming stronger and have better weapons as our adventure progresses.
Online mode.
As a novelty in the young saga, Dragon Quest Builders 2 has a multiplayer mode that will allow us to share our creations with other builders . This mode allows the interconnection of up to four players, one of them being the host that allows three others to visit their world to boast of buildings. This mode comes with the intention of becoming an important mode in the future of the saga, although unfortunately we cannot tell much more about it since at the time of closing this article we have been unable to find colleagues with whom to share our creations. . Something that is undoubtedly because the game is not yet on the market and that will undoubtedly change from tomorrow when it reaches all the shelves. Meanwhile, we have to settle for taking photos of our buildings and sharing them in another novelty, the notice board.
We also have new tools and skills , all of which are clearly focused on making our task of building less tedious. Putting a few blocks at a time instead of going one by one using the palette, or loading the super-strong punches to wipe out multiple rows of blocks at once are just a few of them. On the other hand, and if you find that boring constructions are boring, once you advance in the adventure and convince your colleagues to return to the path of creation, have no doubt that they will help you when constructing the largest buildings, something that in case you prefer, it will allow you to dedicate yourself to continue exploring the island in search of hidden secrets or dragons to liquidate.
The customization of the character is another addition to this installment. During the adventure we will complete some optional tasks and solve some puzzles that we will find scattered throughout the mapping, which will give us some mini-medals that we will change to the corresponding character for prizes in the form of objects to personalize our friend -sunglasses, scarves, clothing- u other useful tools. The negative part of this is that we cannot choose what to take as a store, but as we get mini-medals we will unlock what we touch on the list. Still, it is another incentive to continue building without stopping.

Tj HaferDragon Quest Builders 2 - Critique
Test translated from English by IGN France.
I didn't think I would enjoy Dragon Quest Builders 2 so much, a miniscule construction game based on an iconic JRPG franchise with decades on the clock. Although its combat system turns out to be quite simplistic and its controls occasionally frustrating, this second installment turns out to be both a great construction game and an engrossing RPG, filled with striking areas and characters.
Never having played the first Dragon Quest Builders, I never felt that it was essential to understand the ins and outs of this sequel. The game distills tons of references to the Dragon Quest series that will prove particularly tasty for any discerning enthusiast - familiar enemies, mythical locations and bosses, and a nostalgic victory theme. Even its minimap invariably takes you back to the first franchise games. If you have no idea why your main ally is called Malroth, I strongly encourage you not to try to find out more about him so that the surprise is total.
Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a real RPG with leveling up, gear, magic items, dungeons and boss fights. Far from simply integrating lots of elements from Dragon Quest into a Minecraft clone, Omega Force and Square Enix offer us a J-RPG honoring this iconic saga, with an additional construction / exploration dimension. I never had the feeling that compromises had been made on any of its aspects, which in itself was quite a success.
When you're not building lounges, throne rooms, or wheat fields, you travel through environments with stunning vantage points to defeat monsters, collect magical items, and recruit new allies. As the adventure progresses, you will also have access to various side quests, visit shrines and solve puzzles in order to unlock rare items, and also get your hands on loot caches.
A bland combat system
Combat is arguably the weakest element in the game, and it's a shame that this central aspect turns out to be so bland, when so many others work so well. This is a real-time system with no parry, dodge or strafe keys. Therefore, you are content to attack basic enemies and take their punches, while special attacks from main bosses can only be avoided by running and doing weird circles until their animation ends. . Charging your main special attack also takes so long that it turns out to be less effective than just hammering the keys (which made me give it up most of the time).
Some boss fights, however, benefit from unique and fun mechanics, and it's not uncommon for you to fight dozens of monsters alongside your personal army of NPCs. While these clashes turn out to be a little chaotic (like "I don't know what's going on, but it's pretty cool"), there is nothing inherently unpleasant, although I never felt that my skills were actually tested in an interesting way.
Fortunately, the construction and exploration aspects can largely compensate for this situation. If the freedom offered by Minecraft, allowing you to let your imagination run wild and build without limits, proves to be pleasant, Dragon Quest Builders 2 regularly encourages you to transform wasteland as well as abandoned or ruined cities into real ones. colonies, building specific structures and services there. If I felt that I had sufficient freedom to reclaim these places, the goals I had to achieve were the fuel of my creativity. Watching a vibrant community come together over time is a much more rewarding progression mechanic than anything that involves up close or stat or gear upgrades, especially when those big projects are the building blocks of the game. central elements of each area of the game.
A lovely world
The script and the dialogues as a whole turn out to be quite simplistic and sometimes seem to be aimed at a very young audience (to their detriment). But things do get more interesting towards the end of the adventure, with increasing dramatic intensity and a gripping storyline. The three main islands that you visit, which each have their own theme, atmosphere and history, are obviously not unrelated to this success. From the parched plains of Furrowfield to the dusty Khrumbul-Dun, drawing inspiration from the Old West side, you'll have access to a wide range of challenges, meet new charming NPCs who will join your ranks, and explore tons of environments. with varied and spectacular landscapes. Each of the elements has been designed with special care, and taken as a whole, these islands form one of the RPG worlds that I have enjoyed exploring in recent years.
However, I would have liked the exploration to be a little less delicate. Even setting aside the frustrating combat system mentioned above, the controls didn't turn out to be particularly intuitive or well thought out. During the adventure, my main enemy was not one of the servants of the terrible Hargon, but rather the fact that the key to change tools is also the one used to speak or activate. Therefore, when an NPC approached me while I was using my hammer, I was forced to listen to him tell me about his day for the umpteenth time before I could resume my work. While you do have a few options for modifying the controls, those are sadly limited. Providing a complete key mapping would have been very valuable, knowing that L1 and L2 are not used for much as they are.

Alessandra "Aelinar" BorgonovoDragon Quest Builders 2 - Review
Three years ago Dragon Quest Builders laid the foundations for a new, fun and targeted experience, able to make the series achieve greater fame in the West. By ...
As in the original, the story is only the pretext to throw you into the game world, well developed but very simple in its development: we will take on the role of the Builder in a world corroded and corrupted by the forces of evil, despite the efforts of those who preceded. Unable to live in harmony, humanity offered the perfect pretext for the seed of suspicion, violence and avarice to be metaphorically planted in the world, allowing Hargon to take power and subjugate men to the will of monsters.
In this gloomy scenario, after a violent shipwreck which we miraculously survived, we find ourselves in a deserted island which will be our task to repopulate. However, we are very far from the knowledge of the previous builder and first of all we will have to travel between the various islands so as to learn as much as possible, to bring as many people as possible to our cause and as we have also started with the secrets of construction. Malroth and Lulu will be the pillars of this adventure, although he is mainly the first to support the hero by becoming neither more nor less than his bodyguard: without memory but fearless and incredibly strong he will fight alongside us during the exploration .
The basic structure of Dragon Quest Builders 2 is the same as we remembered. It is explored, fought and naturally built, following the same formula that made Minecraft popular. However, all these aspects have been enhanced by Square Enix which in making its progress has in several cases grabbed the proverbial two pigeons with one stone.
Let's start with the aspect that affects everyone from the first seconds: the interface. If you remember the original title well, it was probably one of the most cumbersome aspects to manage because it was a real potpourri where weapons, armor, hammer and materials were managed through a single overlay toolbar, creating not a little confusion especially during the most excited phases of the game. A simple trick was enough to literally put everything back in its place and now you have a very precise command mapping and slots dedicated to the main equipment. Once built, weapons can be permanently assigned from the basic to the dedicated inventory without having to go crazy every time to take them. The gloves, the hammer and in general all those essential tools for every good manufacturer have in turn their own space and you can switch between them by simply pressing the dedicated button. The quality of life is affected and we thank you.
Next step: NPCs become really useful elements to the community, proving essential to carry out some jobs forbidden to us and then learning the art of construction (more information in this study). Without falling into the spoiler, I take the example of the first island of which we have already had a taste, Camposolco: as the name suggests, it is a place that bases its well-being on agriculture, boasting among the best experts on the merit. Reduced to a barren land and poisoned by the Sons of Hargon, who were then forced to serve, with the arrival of the Builder the inhabitants gradually regain consciousness of who they were and make their skills available to us. By offering fertile land, they will plow it for sowing and then water it to encourage the growth of what has been sown.
By increasing the level of the settlement you can also give them indications on what to sow in a certain field. Furthermore, although one or more units are available to defend the village, some of the inhabitants will take part in both the casual clashes - if they are nearby - and those imposed by the continuation of the plot. It doesn't matter if they don't have weapons, they'll make their fists talk and make a solid defense anyway. Finally, by bringing the settlement to the maximum level, all the inhabitants become expert builders who can support you in your task if you give them the way. That is, if you provide them with the necessary materials: this means exploring the outside world.
