The moment to moment gameplay of mowing down mobs is immensely engaging, and it’s very easy to fall into a rhythm and lose yourself for a few hours. Tossing a block of TNT into a crowd of spiders is always a great time, too. Any doubts I initially had about the game’s combat were quickly dissolved the first time I saw a zombie ragdoll backward after being struck by an arrow. The combat in Minecraft Dungeons, however, provides just the right amount of feedback to make even the weakest attacks feel gratifying to use. Having spent a ton of time with Minecraft, I was anticipating the same weightless sword swings that I’ve spent a decade getting used to at this point. I seriously don’t know how they made Minecraft combat feel as impactful as it does in this game. The lighting is gorgeous and everything is smoothly animated, which really helps the blocky art style shine.Įvery attack and ability feels fantastic to use as well. The entire game looks like a Minecraft parody music video from 2012 but in playable form (I know it’s an odd comparison but if you know what I’m talking about then it’s a spot-on comparison). It’s obviously not photorealistic, but the Minecraft style has never been as realized as this before. It also helps that the game is surprisingly beautiful. As a result, Minecraft Dungeons is the most accessible dungeon crawler I’ve ever played, and it’s a perfect jumping-on point for those that typically stray away from this type of game. While it bears a striking resemblance to other popular isometric action RPGs like Diablo and Path of Exile at first glance, Minecraft Dungeons streamlines many aspects of the genre so players can focus less on number crunching and min-maxing and instead skip straight to creating interesting builds and overpowered gear sets.

However, the Minecraft skin that Dungeons wears is much more than just a fresh coat of paint. Minecraft Dungeons is proof that there’s more to the Minecraft world than just mining and crafting it’s a foundation on which to build excellent video games.Īs the title suggests, Minecraft Dungeons is a dungeon crawler set in the Minecraft universe. The point is, the Minecraft universe is rife with charm and personality that’s just begging to be explored in other genres, and the world of Minecraft, with its many different mobs and items, can be translated to just about any genre you can think of. Then again, I suppose a narrative-driven Telltale adventure or a location-based mobile game were strange choices as well. When it comes to potential Minecraft spinoffs, an isometric dungeon crawler is the last genre I would’ve thought of for the game.
