News Dragon Quest Builders Continues to Look Like a Charming Japanese Take on Minecraft

What else did you expect?

Minecraft must be doing something right, seeing as it's one of the most popular video games every released, but that's not necessarily why we're liking the look of incoming copycat Dragon Quest Builders.

News Dragon Quest Builders' Box Art Is a Bit of a Bust

Cheap and cheerful

Dragon Quest Builders is going to sell a frightening number of copies in Japan when it launches early next year on every viable PlayStation platform, but its box art is a bit rubbish.

TGS 2015 Dragon Quest Builders Crafts a PS4 Gameplay Clip

Minecraft made afresh

Clones can be pretty darn shameless, but Dragon Quest Builders is not your ordinary rip-off – primarily because it actually looks better than Mojang's $2 billion mega brand, Minecraft.

Build me up, buttercup

What do you get when you cross Minecraft with Dragon Quest? The license to print money, that's what.

News Here's Your First Look at the Minecraft-Like Dragon Quest Builders on PS4

Golems beware

Dragon Quest Builders was announced earlier this month, but we haven't had a chance to look at the game in action - until now. As you can probably tell, the title's taken inspiration from the evergreen Minecraft, as you smash, build, and craft your way through large, open worlds.
