STORY


The evil Children of Hargon are determined to eradicate all creators and have outlawed the building, cooking, and creation of all things. To spread their destructive dogma, the calamitous cult captures the builders of the world. All hope seems to be lost until you, a young apprentice builder, manage to escape from the clutches of evil.

After washing up on the shores of the deserted Isle of Awakening, you encounter the spirited Malroth, a mysterious youth with no memory of his past. With the help of your fearless new friend, you embark on a grand adventure to gather the skills required to become a full-fledged builder, but the road you build is paved with peril.

My playtime is high and I did finish the game and do some creative building in the game. Overall it's not the worst port done by square enix, but it is still a square enix port. Meaning controls are terrible on keyboard

Had my save corrupted on xbox so I bought on here, in hopes I could at least back my saves up this time. Wish I had read the reviews of the corruption issue still occurring on PC...The game fundamentally destroys itself

This game is so cute and fun. Absolutely love it. My only real nit-pick is that I just wish that I could quick skip through some of the dialogue.
