The blight of light and bane to the land, the Dragonlord is the devilish dictator of Alefgard, having kept humans in the dark for well over a century.īuilders began development under series producer Noriyoshi Fujimoto, who wanted to address the unfamiliarity of sandbox-style games with Japanese players. Each chapter can be replayed until the desired points are accumulated using a checklist as a guideline. At the end of each chapter, a boss is fought (a golem for Cantlin, a hades condor for Rimuldar, etc.). The game is divided into chapters (one for each town) accessible through the main menu once unlocked. New crafting recipes can be discovered as the player progresses through the story, as well as acquiring new resources. The game also features a crafting system by accessing workbenches. The player character has both a health meter and a hunger bar, both of which can be restored through healing items and food items, respectively. Furthermore, the player will periodically need to defend the town against an organized horde of monsters, usually led by a boss monster. Monsters can attack what the player has built and lower the town's "experience" as a result, though the Base Level can never actually decrease. The game also features a day/night cycle which affects the type of monsters that appear as well as their ferocity. Inhabitants of a town will give the player quests in order to better their surroundings, defend the town if monsters penetrate the defenses, and cook/craft items for the player to use. The higher a town's Base Level, the more citizens it will attract, and better quality items will become available. With time passing by, a new hero (the player character) appears to revive the desolate world.īuilders is divided into chapters, with the aim in each to restore light to the land by rebuilding the central town, with both the quality and quantity of the buildings and decorations contributing to an overall Base Level. But that's indeed a trap, and the hero was eliminated, then the world was dominated by monsters. The game is based on a parallel ending of Dragon Quest: before the final battle, the hero accepted the evil Dragonlord's suggestion - each rules a half of the world. This includes Cantlin, Rimuldar, Kol and Galenholm, using materials they find to overcome the specific blights each area is beset by.
