About

DRAGON QUEST BUILDERS 2 is the critically acclaimed block-building RPG from DRAGON QUEST series creators Yuji Horii, character designer Akira Toriyama and composer Koichi Sugiyama – now for Steam players!
The Steam version includes all the Season Pass content previously released on console versions:
Hotto Stuff Pack, Modernist Pack, Aquarium Pack, Designer’s Sunglasses, Legendary Builder Outfit, Dragonlord’s Throne, and more!
Don’t let the name fool you, despite the 2, this is a completely standalone experience featuring new characters, an expansive world, unlimited building combinations, and a storyline that’s sure to satisfy long-time fans and newcomers alike!
Embark on an epic journey and became the master Builder! Customized your character and set off to revive a forsaken world alongside a mysterious companion named Malroth. Then, take your builder online and join your friends to collaborate and create something truly magnificent.
The evil Children of Hargon are determined to eradicate all creators and have outlawed the building, cooking, and creation of all things. To spread their destructive dogma, the calamitous cult captures the builders of the world. All hope seems to be lost until you, a young apprentice builder, manage to escape from the clutches of evil.
After washing up on the shores of the deserted Isle of Awakening, you encounter the spirited Malroth, a mysterious youth with no memory of his past. With the help of your fearless new friend, you embark on a grand adventure to gather the skills required to become a full-fledged builder, but the road you build is paved with peril. Only you can defeat the Children of Hargon, uncover the secrets of Malroth’s past, and unravel the riddles of this mysterious land.

Battle fearsome foes alongside your partner – Accompanying you on your quest is the mysterious Malroth, an aggressive amnesiac with a fondness for fighting foes. His powerful attacks and skills on the battlefield are truly indispensable!
Dash, swim, and glide across an expansive world – Run across open fields and explore charming villages, treacherous mines, and spectacular castles. Dive into the watery depths to discover hidden treasures, climb the highest mountain to catch the sunset, and glide home to rest up for your next day of adventure.

Dragon Quest Builders 2 reviews and comments

This is a very fun and creative building game set in the Dragon Quest universe. When I first played this game I could not get over how triangle was the attack button, still makes no sense but once you get used to it, it's fine. There are a ton of quality of life improvements over the first game that make doing things a lot easier and less clunky. However, one thing that doesn't change is the uneven progression. No matter where you are in the game you will end up hitting a wall in terms of power. As long as you are pushing forward with the story you are always getting hit way too hard and not doing enough damage. This was something I hated about the first game because it always feels balanced against you. Some scenarios make sense, like Moonbrooke but others it's just an oversight. You do get a strong sword and armor in the final chapter but after beating the game you get access to two locations one with a better sword and one with the best in the game. No idea why this is after the game is essential over. Some of the room specific build requirements are confusing and need to be just right in some instance to set it to the correct room type. Other than that, this has been a great game to play while listening to podcasts. It is also a much deeper and sadder story than I was expecting. While I didn't pay super close attention to the minor story bits, the overall premise and the loses everyone suffers and has to either overcome or deal with just was not something I thought a game like this would tackle.
