Mine has to be Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime, a DS spin off of the Dragon Quest series that sees you playing as a slime operating a tank and rescuing the people from your town. You run around the overworld, collecting items to use as ammunition and saving money to upgrade your tank. The art and music are just as great as you'd expect from the Dragon Quest series. It made fantastic use of the DS's dual screens. It's also written for a younger audience, so a lot of it is just really silly and fun! Try it out for sure, I'm so sad there's no sequel :(

I love Rocket Slime! and Keeping with the Dragon Quest Theme...

I love the Dragon Quest Builders games.

To many people sleep on them because they think they are simply Minecraft games with a Dragon Quest skin. And yes, there are a lot of mechanics lifted straight from Minecraft, they have a story mode that is like a typical RPG, and most of the time you are building a living, thriving town to act as your base of opperations as you execute quests and complete the story's campaigns. I especially like the story in DQB2 because of the bromance you form with your partner, and how much it expands on the size and the scale of the first game, though I also like the first one because it's a lot more digestible for short bursts.
