The game is divided into four chapters (one for each town), accessible through the main menu once unlocked. Monsters do not drop experience, but they drop materials and other useful items. The equipment in this game degrades with usage, to the point of breaking and disappearing from the inventory. The builder, unlike heroes, cannot level up and stat gains are obtained via equipped weapons, armor and accessories.

New crafting recipes can be discovered as the player progresses through the story, as well as acquiring new resources. The game also features a crafting system by accessing workbenches. 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. Furthermore, the player will periodically need to defend the town against an organized horde of monsters, usually led by a boss monster. 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. The game also features a day/night cycle which affects the type of monsters that appear as well as their ferocity. Each area has a set structure but certain elements like trees, rocks, flowers, and even caves are randomized upon starting the chapter. 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 higher a town's Base Level, the more citizens it will attract, and better quality items will become available. Players can use tools and weapons to have a better control of how they interact with the environments.īuilders is divided into chapters, with the aim in each to restore light to the land by rebuilding a central town, with both the quality and quantity of the buildings and decorations contributing to an overall Base Level.
