Dragon Quest Builders is a new series entry which looks, to be frank, like a Minecraft clone.

The game will be ready sooner than anyone thinks.
Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree’s Woe And The Blight Below releases on the 13th of October in North America and on the 16th of October in Europe. There have been reports of the title possibly being localized ater, but nothing has been confirmed by Square Enix yet. It’s due out on 28th January in Japan across all three flagship PlayStation formats, with a Western release unconfirmed but inevitable.
There were no story elements in the demo, but the Square Enix representative told me that as you build more houses and buildings, more NPCs will come to populate your town. There is one small caveat though – these downloadable extras will only be playable after you’ve got to a certain point in the game, or have satisfied some specific, and as yet undisclosed, conditions first.
Japanese love all things small and cute, as well as odd , but do remember that they also happen to be the ones who pioneer the art of portable gaming. Square Enix isn’t responsible for phone batteries draining, as Dragon Quest VII can easily eat up over a hundred hours before you realize it.

Other bonus episodes include battles against giant bosses such as Bjørn the Behemoose from Dragon Quest V, The Great Demon Lord Zoma from Dragon Quest III, Psaro the Manslayer from Dragon Quest IV and Dragon Quest VI boss Nokturnus.
