Dragon Quest Builders is a spinoff of the popular RPG series that lets players build and customize their own town while experiencing light action-RPG elements. It's been described as Minecraft, but with Dragon Quest, and for good reason – it's like Minecraft, but with Dragon Quest. If you need more to go on, however, Square Enix has released a new trailer that breaks down the game's various elements.

Players take on the role of the builder, a legendary figure with the ability to shape the world. The evil Dragonlord has made a mess of things, and you have to help the survivors rebuild and eventually take on the forces of evil. Also, it is completely adorable.

For another look at Dragon Quest Builders, check out our recent Test Chamber on the game.
