I did not expect a Minecraft game to teach my children the basics of dungeon-crawlers or loot-focused hack-and-slash games like Diablo, but here we are. Minecraft Dungeons is a simplified take on the top-down brawler, but it doesn’t lose any of the genre’s fun as it boils away all the unnecessary parts that serve to slow down more complex games.
Minecraft Dungeons isn’t simple, exactly — it’s just easy to learn and play. But that’s always been the secret to the rare, enjoyable family-friendly games from huge studios: It’s not a matter of making things easy, but ensuring that they are elegant. And this game is, above everything else, elegant. Microsoft is branching out with the Minecraft name, but doing it in such a way that brings fans deeper into the world of gaming, while effortlessly teaching some rather complicated ideas about tactics and strategy.
Breaking down how Minecraft Dungeons plays and what clever things Mojang Studios has done with the genre is only part of the story, however. This is Minecraft, through and through, filled with the sort of tiny, loving touches that make the core product such a lasting influence on gaming. There are mushrooms that play musical notes as you fight through them, and powerful bows with arrows that send their targets flying through the air.
The story is thin, but charming. There’s an evil “illager” who is doing bad things to good folks and good land, and your brave band of adventurers must fight through all his minions until you finally reach and fight him, bringing his reign of terror to an end. The campaign itself is short at launch, and should take under 10 hours for even the most diligent explorer to finish, but doing so is just the beginning. Finishing the game on the standard difficulty setting unlocks the next higher difficulty option, and you can further adjust the challenge of each individual level to increase the quality of the loot dropped by enemies.
The loot is the secret to the whole thing, because there are no character classes in Minecraft Dungeons, and very few ways to change how your avatar looks. Each player selects a design at the beginning of the game, and can only adjust that character’s aesthetics by equipping different armor and weapons. There are enough basic looks for the heroes that everyone should be able to find one that they like, but I’d still love for Mojang to add a proper character customization screen in the future.
