DRAGON QUEST BUILDERS Reviews
Just as fun as the Switch version! Touch controls work well for this.
This Version of Dragon Quest builders has faster running, faster building, and gameplay features that the other game versions dont.
Im enjoying this game quite a lot but we just seriously wish there was gamepad support.
We downloaded dragon quest bulder 2 a few months ago on our Xbox and was disappointed they had not released 1! We were surprised and extremely lucky to be able to purchase it here and it is as amazing as we thought it would be! We wish you could implement controller options because the touch screen and combat can get a little tricky but other than that this is a perfect game for mobile!!! We pray and hope you guys release dragon quest builder 2 for iOS somehow although we know it may not be possible anytime soon due to the different engine! And we pray you guys drop a dragon quest builder 3 in the future amazing combination of story and building!!!
Great that cloud saves are finally available but how is it that a game built for consoles still doesn’t have mfi controller support. Got a backbone controller that we love and works great on tons of games. Got this game in hopes to use it, maybe expectations were too high despite this being a AAA title.
We love this game so much but it would so much better if it had controller support.
We really enjoyed this game on console but there is zero support for controllers on here and if we could get a refund we would. Dont waste your money on this game, if you want controller support then you gotta get it modded into the game. Clearly the creators dont care or read these reviews. Last update was 7 months ago from this post.
The game looks like a lot of fun but unfortunately its unplayable on iPad Pro 12.9 because of the controls. The touch controls are too high on the screen and its impossible to control comfortably. There is no way to modify the UI so it fits the iPad screen properly. Our hand was in pain after 5 minutes trying to move the character around. This would have been fixed with controller support but it doesnt have that either. A shame because it looks like this could be the best version of this game if they fix those issues. Ended up refunding our purchase.
Great port of a fantastic game, with some performance related issues. A recent update allows you to cut the graphics rendering speed which will save you a truck load of battery, however, even on our iPhone 13, using anything above low graphics absolutely blazes through battery life. Im sure this could be optimized for even better battery life. Still a blast to play, even with the lower graphics settings enabled. Thanks for continued updates! We hope to see the second game get the same treatment some day. And while we are at it, we could really use a port for Dragon Quest VII :D.
We like this game many yearscan play with ios everywhere and everytimeits great.
Moving our character is clunky and difficult. Other than that we love the game, but the bad controls make it almost unplayable.
Would give 5 stars if this game had controller support! Mobile gamer using the backbone.
This is such an awesome title! Played on the switch a while back. Although its a bit odd that controller support isnt added considering the original was built for consoles. Strangely enough a Bluetooth controller will only work with the the joystick. No other buttons will work. Aside from that its a decent crafting title. Just wish we could get proper controller support in 2022.
Almost $30 for a game that you cant use a controller with? No, no, and no. Refund us please.
We bought this game because we had good experience with Square Enix games. As always, the quality is high, we enjoy the controls you guys chose for this game; it is very intuitive. We especially like the virtual joystick button for this game. Keep up the great work Square Enix!
Loved the pc version, glad to see it come to mobile lookingforward to whet you guys make of this.
Think theres an issue with the divine draught quest we’ve made it several times, but we cant give the item to Elle to complete the quest so.. Please fix this issue soon. Thank you.
TLDR: The game itself is excellent, 5/5. DQB2 is even better but its not on iOS yet, fingers crossed. The controls for this game are perfect in our opinion. However, the optimization and graphics settings are bad, forcing essentially everyone to play on low settings where circles become square. The iPad app doesnt run on macOS which would likely be the only way to use the high settings. There is no cloud save on this rather long game, so once you pick a device, youre essentially stuck playing only on that device. Finally, some of the quest progress and map markers could be more clear. Pros: we love this game. Its just a combination of a Minecraft-like game and the standard Dragon Quest RPG. The game itself is absolutely worthy of 5/5 stars. The controls are great. Some people have said that theyre too difficult, but even on our phone we never have problems. When we do make a mistake, the undo button is there. The zoomed in mode with the crosshairs makes building long walls very easy and fast. Finally, in zoomed out mode, you can build a house without even moving your actual character. Cons There is no cloud save. So we have to have two different saves on our iPhone and iPad. This game is much too long to just restart on a separate device. Therefore, youre pretty much forced to pick a device and not change it unless youre willing to spend dozens of hours to beat the game on a second device, which very few people will do. Its an iPad app that wont run on our Mac. Newer iPad apps can fairly easy be enabled to run on the new macs, even though theyre not actually mac applications. Why not enable this? The game would clearly benefit from the better hardware, as our next point addresses. The optimization is off. We have an iPhone 13 Pro Max, currently the most powerful iPhone. We have to play with low settings otherwise the frame rate is unplayable in our opinion, and we favor fidelity over frame rate. It stutters too much even at medium settings so you have to restart the app and play at low settings. At low settings, circular objects become square unless youre right beside them, so barrels, chairs, etc, look pretty bad. We dont mind playing at low settings on our phone, but when we tested the settings on our iPad Pro (3rd gen) the frame rate was still bad at medium settings. It looked constantly jumpy just walking around a field. How is it that we have to play at low settings even on the iPad Pro? Sure its not the newest iPad Pro, but it seems then that only the newest model iPad Pro would plausibly be able to play at medium settings, every other device is stuck at low. If thats the case, why even have high settings? No one can use them. If you enabled the iPad version to run on macOS then it would make sense, but right now it doesnt. Maybe redefine low, medium, and high settings on these devices or take some time to optimize further. We have one critique about the game itself, as opposed to the application (e.g. Cloud save, settings, controls). In the game, we found myself in chapter two having no idea that we hadnt found one of the sick people, and there was no map marker leading to them, so we thought that our game was bugged and that we would have to restart. Turned out that we just needed to wander around some more until we bumped into the character, but it would be better if there was a map marker leading to them. In general, this game could benefit from better clarity in the quest objectives and map markers. For example, why can we see markers from islands (the areas through the portals) when Im not even on that island? It clutters the map with icons and it took us a while to understand that we cant get to all of those markers without going through the portal.
Controller support would be great!
The controls are definitely wonky on Mobile and its too much work to do basic things with how clunky controls are. It also has a few performance issues even on low settings. We would change to 5 star if these 2 things are fixed.
Worst port of the game is obviously mobile (as usual with Square Enix). No controller support, and game stutters like a Essentially, our ultimate classic Square Enix game review (I could promise you we’ve written this review more times than we can count (square always does the same)): Amazing game. Terrible port.
Iphone 13 pro max and the highest setting stutters. We have to play on the lowest setting with blurry visuals in order to play at an acceptable refresh rate. Also not being able to resize or move the on screen buttons myself is pretty unfortunate. For the price we’re kind of upset.
We were so excited to see builders getting a mobile port. We have around 60 hours of playtime for DQB2 and we’ve been wanting to play the first one. Im a tablet player for games like this, and it was so ergonomically difficult to run and complete the basic tutorial tasks. Theres also no way to play it on your phone and tablet so you have to dedicate it all on one device. Ended up asking for a refund since $21.99 is ridiculously overpriced for a port that doesnt have these basic functions. It runs perfectly fine, but needs some updates and price cuts.
This is an excellent port of the original PS4/PS Vita RPG/simulation game. However it desperately needs iCloud save sync and also need better optimization especially for the iPad pro (I’m guessing the stuttering has to do with the high refresh rate display). That said, this is a wonderful game and a very pleasant surprise release from Square Enix.
Only the left stick seems to be active on XBox controller. Button presses are ignored, except the hamburger which seems to be mapped to jump. No way to move the camera or perform any other actions. For $25 (when the sale ends) on a pretty old game, we expect better.
Please as controller support. You already have them ready from the console launches. Please add.
Why is THERE NO CONTROLLER SUPPORT?! Artdink, what are you doing? Come on man, why are you dumbing out on such basic standards. All this time, we await for this gem to appear on iOS and you FAIL to provide basic controller support?
