Minecraft Dungeons Is A Fun But Stripped-Down Dungeon Brawler

I’ve spent a few hours clicking through Minecraft Dungeons’ isometric world and, despite how shallow it feels, I’d be content to click through it for several more. Mojang’s attempt to spin its massively popular crafting game into a small Diablo-like is successful, limited only by the narrow...

Sorry but,

It's a great pre-breakfast or afternoon snack, but less of a meal in itself.

pre-breakfast snack is a thing in the US? D:

Minecraft is a multiplatform franchise.

They do but pre-acquisition Minecraft was always multiformat and MS want to keep it that way. They make a ton of money out of it being on everything.

Hm interesting choice. Would have thought that any subsequent releases would be exclusive.

Think it's going to be the perfect game to play through with my son. So tired of Lego games. So so tired.

This. I can't stand these Lego games anymore after going through 10 or so of them. My 5yo continues to love it and I can't bring myself to continue .

Hopefully Minecraft Dungeons will be his best thing!

It's definitely weird seeing Microsoft as a third party publisher on PS4 and Switch sales charts.

Good choice on their part though. They've sold 150 million copies of Minecraft since buying it. No way they would've reached that if they suddenly made it Windows/Xbox exclusive after buying it. Would've pissed off everyone who played it already on other formats.

Terbinator · May 23, 2020

Never played Mincecraft but have this preloaded so I'm essentially going in blind as far as the franchise goes.

Interested that the negative review in the OP seem to come down to 'its for kids'.

There's a sizeable install base of MC players there already, they'd be foolish not to tap into them. Ofc it doesn't stop them releasing content exclusive to Xbox/Windows and may not run through to future generations.

Because I would have liked a 40$ game with 40$ content a lot more than wasting this potential as a 20$ game for 20$ content. What's so hard to understand about that?

They only have 1 release, 1 chance to make it right, once they decided it will have this content and that price, there's no alternative anymore. So people who would have loved a lot more maps, enemies, gear, variety or a longer story are the looser in this situation. What you basically say here is this:

And the game will more than likely get that, just like the original Minecraft got.

Is there new gameplay + in this, or as most dungeon crawlers go, beat the game once and then play through again on a higher difficulty with better loot? That's all that matters. Before Diablo 3 got all their end game content, I had replayed the campaign like 4 times just to get stronger and better loot. It's going to be a GaaS

Oh yeah....yeah this game is going to be supported for a long while. This will become my main action rpg game for sure.

Same as everywhere. 20 bucks or 30 for the Hero editon that includes the dlc.

Can we purchase the hero edition upgrade separately ? I don't see it on any system

Wanted to enjoy the addition bonus :( sad

I wonder what that translates into on the Australian PSN store. Couldn't find it on the store.

How do you mean?
Edit: Ah you mean you get the gamepass version and what to get the extra stuff next to it also?

Yeah. Was thinking we could upgrade now for 10 bucks

SuikerBrood · May 24, 2020

I'm having a lot of fun with it. Put around 8 hours into it now.

Stacey · May 24, 2020

Is the Hero edition included with the gamepass download?

Nope. Normal edition.

Love it. The joy of playing a new loot game is high and fleeting.

That's a shame. At least I get to try it before putting my hand in my pocket.

noyram23 · May 24, 2020

Not really like the aesthetic and the shallow loot/rpg system. Looks like Diablo for kids, so i'll download it for them via XGP

Novocaine · May 24, 2020

Looking forward to trying it. Not expecting it to replace Diablo but I'm sure I'll have a good time with it. Also hoping for this to have a long life of updates over the years.

Raide · May 24, 2020

Things I want.

Map Maker.
Someone to use the Map Maker to remake Diablo.

That's literally the aim of the game.

That's why i'm downloading it for my kids, i was initially interested since loot games are my favorite but didn't like the shallow rpg and loots from what I've watched

Watched the Giantbomb quick look this morning, and all this hype i had for this game has been drained. It seems short, and even a little shallow.

I'd probably gravitate back toward Diablo 3 over this, which is unfortunate because i love the look/style of this.

Edit: Price isn't a concern of mine. I'm a middle-aged adult with plenty of disposable income. So "short" just means little replay value for me.

How long is Diablo 3 for you?

J_ToSaveTheDay · May 24, 2020

I've been looking forward to this since the announce. I'm gonna try it on Game Pass and if I like it enough I'll buy the Switch version so I can play on the go. :D

Shopolic · May 24, 2020

Guys, you can see the Xbox Game Studios logo on PS4 in this game? Don't want to make console wars discussions and those bullshits, just want to know this.

Probably. Its the publisher in the end. :)
XGS games on Switch show it also.

Edge · May 24, 2020

Since it's Microsoft Store, does it have Cross-Progression? Can I play on Xbox and continue my save on PC?

Out of curiosity, why do you want to know? Would it put you off buying it if it did have an Xbox logo?
