The game is set in [[Alefgard]], the world of the original ''[[Dragon Quest]]'' game, and players gradually rebuild each area of it. This includes [[Cantlin]], [[Rimuldar]], [[Kol]] and [[Galenholm]], using materials they find to overcome the specific blights each area is beset by. The game is based on a parallel ending of ''Dragon Quest'': before the final battle, the hero accepted the evil Dragonlord's suggestion - each rules a half of the world. But that's indeed a trap, and the hero was eliminated, then the world was dominated by monsters. With time passing by, a new hero (the player character) appears to revive the desolate world.

''Builders'' is divided into chapters, with the aim in each to restore light to the land by rebuilding the central town, with both the quality and quantity of the buildings and decorations contributing to an overall Base Level. The higher a town's Base Level, the more citizens it will attract, and better quality items will become available. Inhabitants of a town will give the player quests in order to better their surroundings, defend the town if monsters penetrate the defenses, and cook/craft items for the player to use. The game also features a [[Day-night Cycle|day/night cycle]] which affects the type of monsters that appear as well as their ferocity. Monsters can attack what the player has built and lower the town's "experience" as a result, though the Base Level can never actually decrease. Furthermore, the player will periodically need to defend the town against an organized horde of monsters, usually led by a boss monster.

The player character has both a health meter and a hunger bar, both of which can be restored through healing items and food items, respectively. The game also features a crafting system by accessing workbenches. New crafting recipes can be discovered as the player progresses through the story, as well as acquiring new resources.

The game is divided into chapters (one for each town) accessible through the main menu once unlocked. At the end of each chapter, a boss is fought (a [[Golem|golem]] for Cantlin, a [[Hades' Condor|hades condor]] for Rimuldar, etc.). Each chapter can be replayed until the desired points are accumulated using a checklist as a guideline.

| Androoo is a monster taking on the appearance of a human that can potentially be recruited to the base. Androoo has been shunned by other monsters because he doesn’t hate humans. Androo works so hard at passing for human that he’s willing to attack other monsters when they attack the castle.
