Maybe there’s not a lot Minecraft in Minecraft Dungeons, however there’s a fairly first rate action-RPG or so I hear. Mojang’s click-click-click-click-clicking dungeon crawler launched at present, with nary a block to mine or tree to punch however some bizarre and enjoyable builds to experiment with. I’m up for an ARPG the place one armour perk offers you a pet bat.
Our Nate referred to as it “a charming, lively little looter-bruter, with all Minecraft’s aesthetic elements, but absolutely nothing in common with it beyond that” in his Minecraft Dungeons review. Fun, although.
“But then, at one point, I had a weird build that involved blowing a horn to knock enemies away from me, then rolling around shooting lightning at them while a pet llama distracted them. I mean, it’s not one of the classic class archetypes, is it? And that’s the real fun of the system. It forces you to improvise with whatever enchantment options become available, working out where they work well with each other, and then cobbling together desperately improvised martial arts that take advantage of whatever synergies you’ve discovered. The options expand even further, of course, when you’re dungeoning in a party with others.”
Minecraft Dungeons is out now on the Microsoft Store £16.74/$19.99. It’s additionally out there by Xbox Game Pass For PC, the £4/month subscription service. Mojang even have two bits of yet-unrevealed DLC on the best way, which will probably be bundled along with some beauty bits within the Hero Pass for £8.39/$9.99.
