Synopsis: Dragon Quest meets Minecraft in the open-world sandbox where you can create the
tools to build your ultimate castle, restore towns to their glory and take on iconic
monsters. Long ago in Alefgard a hero was said to arise to stop the Dragonlord but

scavenging and scrounging to survive. But the goddess has chosen another hero, one
with the power to rebuild that which was destroyed so long ago - and finally defeat the
Dragonlord.
