    Don't let the Minecraft name fool you. This is not a good game in any way shape or form. It's so unfinished and unpolished that they should be ashamed of releasing it like this.

They left parts of the game intentionally unfinished to force you to buy later DLC packs which is something I absolutely hate from developers. An example being the slots you get for equipment. They didn't even follow the standard Minecraft experience...head chest legs and boots....you get literally 1 spot for "armor" that drops as a single set. I would expect them to start adding the actual pieces in the DLCs which is absurd.

    To sum up my experience with Minecraft dungeons....I have played better dungeon crawlers on flash games and it is totally not worth spending a dime on this travesty.    … Expand

    Kid friendly
    Cheap?

    Con's

    Terrible multiplayer options basically no multiplayer
    Limited enjoyment with boring and predictable gameplay
    Many bugs and glitches
    Static linear stages
    No classes
    Extremely limited content

    Despite the PC version having a severe Ownership Bug that prevented access to the game for countless hours, that's probably for the best because after actually playing for 30 minutes, I was bored with the stale and lack of any fresh ideas, it's basically the original Diablo with a minecraft paint job.

    Bugs, glitches all over the place - I couldn't even play for most of the first day and even when I could play, I didn't get any of the Hero Edition DLC that I paid for but that doesn't really matter because the biggest, biggest issue this game has is the absolutely horrendous excuse for multiplayer, it basically doesn't have it - its a lie, well a half lie. Multiplayer Online or co-op is all FRIENDS LIST based, meaning if you don't have any friends who play this game then its essentially single player, the multiplayer online is meaningless and attempts to mislead the player into thinking you can play with random people or join random games just like in most ARPG games, TL:DR You need 3 other friends on your friends list, that also play MC:D in order to play this game multiplayer.

    Since it's minecraft, the enemies are significantly lacking and are recycled over and over again, oh zombies...oh skeleton archers....and occasionally a more difficult souped up version might appear. But you'll not really care about it much because for any hardcore player, you'll probably get bored after the first few stages....that's right....STAGES. Area's don't flow together like in most ARPGS, where you start at one area and explore around vast areas these are fairly small areas with a goal each stage...complete it...return to camp...pick the next stage and so forth, its extremely basic.

    In a nutshell, this game on paper sounds like a good idea but its execution is heavily flawed with barely any content, horrible multiplayer options and is downright awful in all departments, I'd only recommend this for family game nights with the kids, hardcore people...or players who loved minecraft...steer well clear of this.    … Expand

It's a short game with many problems. Dungeons is a bare-bones ARPG that has so much potential, yet fails in almost every regard. Combat gets repetitive, the progression system is unique but uninteresting and unrewarding, and despite being under the Minecraft name, there is nothing of Minecraft effectively handled here. Building and crafting could be heavily used as an interesting and gun mechanic, like crafting a consumable weapon quickly to help fight waves of enemies. Sure, the aesthetic is there, but strip that away and you're left with a watered down experience that shows Microsoft's inability to evolve the Minecraft brand in any meaningful way.… Expand

    Very basic game, no depth at all. It's like those free "clicker" games on the app stores. It was fun for an hour, and you can get it for 1 euro / 1 USD with gamepass. Still not worth it for me. If it was early alpha I could have recommended it, if they had a roadmap and stuff for new updates.

That's it, the dungeons don't feel randomized at all because the end goal is always the same and there is only one way to get there. The difficulty is determined off of your recommended power level which as you go through the game you just naturally get gear that can destroy on the max difficulties. I think the biggest insult to injury is the only updates the game is gonna get is paid DLC.… Expand

    А если серьезно, то в этой игре от диаблойда только название в строке жанров и внешние сходства. И все. Представьте летсплей по Диабло 3. Вы просто видите как персонаж бегает по локациям, одевает разноцветные вещи, и бьет мобов чтобы добротно и справедливо победить злодейского злодея и остановить его злые злодейские злодеяния.

Вы просто видите как персонаж бегает по локациям, одевает разноцветные вещи, и бьет мобов чтобы добротно и справедливо победить злодейского злодея и остановить его злые злодейские злодеяния. Вот разработчики посмотрели летсплей Диабло 3 или ПоЕ или еще какой изометрической игры диаблойдной и просто скопировали картинку. В Minecraft Dungeons вы тоже просто бегаете по локациям без сюжета, одеваете разноцветные вещи, которые ничем не отличаются, только уроном. Буквально закликиваете монстров и боссов обычными атаками, ибо скиллов здесь нет. Есть их аналоги, но их полезность под вопросом. И побеждаете главного злодея, которого так и зовут - Злодей. У игры потрясающий визуал, но кроме него ничего нет. Есть зачатки интересной прокачки с зачарованием, мне оно действительно понравилось. Есть зачатки нескольких классов. Есть зачатки интересного сюжета. Но это все в зачатке. 4 балла только за хорошую картинку, за интересный потенциал, за русский язык(который не без косяков. Практически не заметных, но если увидеть - будет мозолить глаза) и за небольшую цену относительно нынешних реалий.
    А, забыл сказать, что здесь всего 10 локаций по 20-30 минут, которые, если вы будете исследовать все вдоль и поперек, пытаться собрать более крутые вещи, то даже в лучшем случае отберут у вас часов 10 жизни. И все это за скромные 1500 рублей. Ах, да. Уже планируются сразу 2 длс. И знаете что в них будет? А хрен знает. Зато огромная кнопка на 1/6 экрана в меню выбора локаций будет вам недвусмысленно говорить, что длс уже можно купить. Что там будет? Новые локации. Может быть что-то еще, не знаю. Но смотря, как разработчики старательно сделали такую хорошую игру, я очень сомневаюсь, что там будет хоть что-то кроме набора новых уровней.
    Итог: Игра недоделаная, в ней ничего нет кроме визуала, но уже хотят, чтобы вы купили ДЛС.
    И каждый раз, когда я проходил уровень я сидел и думал "Когда же закончится этот уровень? Я хочу в TES Blades". Бесплатная мобильная игра, которая недавно вышла на Switch(именно там я и играл) приносит больше удовольствия, чем игра от разработчиков, сделавших игру не просто года, а целого десятилетия.    … Expand

It's the same 5 artifacts that for some reason, are your abilities in this game, and its the same with the items and weapons, only legendaries are unique and once you have them, you'll basically never get them unless you find one that's better after 6 missions. What could they fix? No fall damage, don't have that in this type of game, EVER. Infinite arrows, if you want balance with the bow mechanics, then instead of anchoring players when they run out of arrows until they find more, slow them down instead with the firing speed, just like the melee weapons. No one wants to be unable to use their bow because they have no arrows, its a dumb concept in this type of game. More mobs, they added a few different enemies, but overall, its still dull and repetitive, especially redstone golems, really? Secret chests is another issue, don't have that in this type of game, make use of all the countless empty space the levels have with actual chests instead. Rolling to get to other platforms is another problem I have, just doesn't feel right in this game. LIVES - HUGE PROBLEM! Don't punish players and make them restart an entire mission because they died! Add a system like durability or literally anything else! Nothing is more frustrating than that in this style of game. The menu music and company logo sounds are WAY too loud and can't be lowered, the Mojang Logo is near deafening when first starting the game. Overall, the amount of items found makes grinding for better gear really tedious, we need more abilities(Artifacts) and overall just make the game more fleshed out.

    Gameplay involves mostly using your normal attacks since everything has long cooldowns. There is no tech tree, and the active skills are very limited. This is an ARPG with training wheels made for people who never played an ARPG before, want a simple couch co-op, never play games at all, or kids 5-10 years old. The levels and enemy types are very repetitive. There is only 1 armor slot, 1 melee weapon slot, 1 bow slot, and 3 active item slots.

    There is a currency that can only be used to gamble on random items. There is no enchanting, re -rolling affixes, or anything.

    Story is pretty much non-existent either. There is a bad guy and you follow him and then kill him.

    Currently all you can do is increase the numbers on the exact same items you've had access to since the start of the game. I understand ARPG's are about grinding, but usually that grinding is for something interesting or new, or the actual gameplay loop of the grind is fun. All of that is missing here.
    There are about 5 different enemies across every map in the game (all 9 of them).
    You get 6 item slots made up of a melee weapon, armor, ranged weapon, and 3 artifacts. Your artifacts are the only thing that give you anything to do in the game, as they are what become your abilities, and usually you use one artifact for movement because you absolutely CRAWL in this game any time you don't have a speed buff. Most weapons between hammers and glaives feel the exact same to use.
    There are no classes,and levels don't feel rewarding to earn because you just earn an enchantment point to apply randomly rolled buffs to the same gear.
    This game is just a boring grinding simulator with absolutely no pay-off. Movement is terrible clunky, as you get caught on every random block on the map.
    Every boss fight boils down to the same attack pattern where they shoot at you, and leave time for you to shoot back before dodging the next slow moving pellet.
    Pushing into the higher difficulty levels is even more boring than the initial sprint, where they just crank up the HP of the enemies and they just become damage sponges.

    No mining. No crafting. No personality. I had hopes at first when it looked like the "camp" was starting to expand with NPC's, but there are just 2 NPC's that you can gamble at with your emeralds, which are gained by trashing your old gear and found in maps.

    ALSO, they took the worst part of D3, loot is instanced and there is no trading, so you can't even trade gear with your friends.

    No part of the game really felt satisfying at any point after the first few minutes. It all got old very quickly, it's just an artificial "item level" grind with no interesting or innovative content whatsoever, nothing to discover after the first few minutes and pretty much just boils down to colors moving around on your screen while you press 1 2 3 over and over.    … Expand

Here's a day in the life on this "game": account 3 (psn) is playing, account 2 (non-psn) wants to join, so account 3 needs to shutdown the game (that's right account 2 can't just join because the non-psn characters aggregate on account 1.. right, that makes sense), so load account 1, start the game, join the game, find account 2's character (which lives in account 1) and select it, now account 3 can finally join the game they were already playing. Hope the UI does not lock up (happens ~30% of the time), if it does restart the process, if not congrats! you can play. Oh, wait.. account 1 now wants to join the game.. you see where this is going. After a few weeks of regular playing now one or more people cannot find their charters, yes they are corrupt or just gone, restart and grind again. There's no way ANYONE working on this game ever worked on a game before, or ever worked an any kind of consumer software. It's garbage, did I mention that yet?

Unfortunately, these are the only nice things I have to say about the game.

    This game deserves a 2/10 for 2 reasons: it is missing key elements that any good RPG game should have and is plagued by numerous bugs.

    The best part of any RPG is the character customization. The ability to make your character unique and as powerful or skillful as possible is a huge driving force to adventure. I’ll use Dungeons and Dragons as an example. In D&D, you typically select your race, class, attributes, skills, feats, abilities, and hopefully some equipment of your choosing. As you level up, you get to improve or modify these character traits to customize, specialize and empower your character. All of these things go towards making a unique character that becomes and integral part of the team. Not in Minecraft Dungeons.

    In Minecraft Dungeons you get to choose exactly two things: your character model and the equipment you use.

    While I’ve never thought that having a wide variety of choices to customize your characters appearance was very important to a game, all you get to choose from is about 30 preset models. There is no editor where you can customize your skin. You can’t even upload a custom skin (as far as I know), which is super easy in Minecraft.

    You do get to choose what equipment you use, but that’s it. Let me say that again, you only get to choose the equipment you USE. You have no choice in what equipment you’ll find or what you’ll get. Allow me to explain. Equipment drops randomly throughout each level, but you can only find certain gear in each, which is listed when you select the mission. Fine. You also collect emeralds as a currency to use once you’re back at camp in between missions. When I started playing the game, I was pretty happy to finish my first mission and spend my ~500 emeralds on some sweet archer gear (the class I’m trying to play), but it turns out you can only spend your hard earned emeralds in two ways: buying a RANDOM piece of equipment, leveled appropriate to your character, or buying a RANDOM artifact from a wandering trader that appears time to time. Can you imagine that in real life? Imagine walking up to a food vendor, saying “Hi I’d like something to eat, what do you have?” and him going “You give me some money and you’ll find out.” ?!?!?!

    Even if you’re happy with the equipment you find, there are only six total equipment slots for your character. This includes melee weapon, ranged weapons, armor, and three artifact slots (artifacts are amulets, tomes, or other gear with spells). Six total slots is abysmally low.

    Possibly the most concerning thing about your character being defined only by the gear they have is that you can’t share gear you get with your party members. So if one person is trying to play a tank, and you have some awesome mercenary armor for them, you can’t give it to them. This means that not only are you limited to using equipment to build the character you want to play, but you’re limited to ONLY YOUR EQUIPMENT. Several times during the five hours my brother and I have played the game, we have each gotten gear that the other desperately wants, but are forced to salvage it for emeralds instead, since the gear doesn’t help my character or his character specifically.

    The bugs I mentioned earlier include getting booted out of our game after completing a mission, the game crashing during the mission, which eliminates all of our progress, and other game-breaking bugs. These aren’t an issue 75% of the time, but when they are, it is incredibly annoying.    … Expand

    Completely unfinished game, no variety in itembuilds, since your build is literally one armor piece! No use for the ingame currency besides coinflip item purchase! No existing endgame.
    And I have no idea why you would create a second character since you can basically swap your gear whenever you want.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is very bad. It does have it's moments for fun and what not though. I'm so disappointed with this game. They really had a great concept and completely ruined it. This game is a unfished cash grab and that is not a joke. I tried playing with other people and they were no help they would just take all the drops. Not one of my friends has this game but I feel like even playing it with friends would not make it better to the point where its enjoyable. The absolute worst part about the game is the movement. I'm fine with the click to where you want to go but I mean come on. When you are trying to go under an arch and you are clicking you will hit the top of the arch and you sometimes even have a hard time getting under it. The dodging is awful. You can't roll up blocks and that's just not fun and makes avoiding attacks in some areas horrible. You can't roll over half slabs.. I don't care if it makes sense that you can't but who really cares the game should be fun not annoying. I made my directional roll to my space bar and yet when I would try and roll backwards it would go forwards into all the mobs. This happened so many times. The movement needs a lot of work. Also there are only like 8 melee weapons in the game and the armor you have doesn't even matter that much you just need the one that is the highest level. The bows are really stinky too there is like 3 good bows and the rest are trash. The enchantment points are so lame they should have made it so that you get to unlock skill points for your character with each level and you can upgrade the armor at the blacksmith. The healing is really bad cause if you lose health there is not much you can do about it when your pot is still cooling down. The shops at camp like the blacksmith I think is really lazy and they should have made it a real shop where you can actual see what items you are buying. Overall, this game needs a lot of work. I think that this game could be really good in the future but the current state that its in right now is horrible and not worth buying.… Expand

The game is empty. It feels like so much more should be in every level but more often than not, paths lead to dead ends. Theres a ton of content currently finished but locked behind future DLC walls. Loot being completely randomized is fine I suppose, but the inability to plan your characters strengths and abilities and class setup is annoying. You basically have to just use the best weapon you find randomly and this pattern continues until the end of the story. Speaking of class setup, why are there no skill trees? Why can I not level up my weapon classes by using them? If I want to be an in close dps swordsman, why do i have to rely on a good sword drop with RNG enchantments to play that class? Its outrageous and outdated. The game is full of bugs. Crashing, audio glitches, broken levels that dont let you finish them, phasing through walls, etc. And these were all found in my first 2 hours of gameplay. Unacceptable. Gameplay wise.. I guess it's fine. Most levels are just mashing the same attack button over and over without any sort of strategy. Once you've completed sections of levels enemies just never respawn and loot drops aren't common so large sections of every level just feel bland. The main story is.. F I N E. Dungeon crawlers arent really known for having in depth characters or storylines, but I was hoping for a bit more other than "arch illager bad." Also, 5 hour campaign? Not nearly long enough considering they want you to replay the game on higher difficulties to unlock better equipment and abilities. Playing through the same 9 levels is going to get extremely repetitive. Overall, it's a 4/10. My score will update once I've played through the higher difficulties and once the DLC they have planned releases. The base of this game has a good foundation, but that's about it. It feels like a demo for what a minecraft dungeon crawler could be. Extremely disappointing.… Expand

Also, new items and enchants appear as you go as well so it's not just grind-for-higher-numbers.

    THE UGLY: The game is highly lethal and punishes failure. When one team member dies, EXTRA monsters spawn to make the situation even worse, and you have 30 seconds until night falls and phantoms murder anyone left.

    I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone thought that punishing dying with dragging your entire team down with you was a good design decision. This is friendship ruining stuff.

    Ich bin eigentlich sehr zufrieden mit MCD, jedoch stören mich viele Dinge.. Nun, erstmal will ich auf den Mist mit Cloud Saving eingehen. Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4 & Xbox One haben meines Wissens nach Cloud Saving, jedoch ist davon bei PC-Spielern (darunter auch meinerseits) absolut nichts zu merken. Ich habe bereits den zweiten Chrakter angefangen, da der erste für immer FUTSCH ist. Heute habe ich beim zwieten Charakter eine Stunde Fortschritt verloren, da dieses Speichern auf dem USB-Stick, nun, sehr schnell tükisch sein kann. Tja, und ich habe meinen alten Spielstand auf den neuen Spielstand überschreiben lassen und so verdammt gute Items verloren. Dieser Dreck muss unbedingt aufhören. Es ist schließlich MICROSOFT, die das Spiel verwalten. Die haben mehr als genug Kohle, um Cloud Saving auch für PC anzuschaffen, aber NEIN, das wird natürlich nicht zu Release getan.
    Kommen wir zum repetitiven Gameplay. Überall sind nur die selben Gegner verbaut. Wenn man extremes Pech hat, kommen auch gerne mal diese Magier, die die explosiven Säulen und die, die nicht explodieren 5x - 10x vor. Und das passiert ständig in der "Feuerschmiede" und in der "Kaktus Schlucht". Einfach nur unfair, wenn man komplett eingesperrt ist, neben 3 explosiven Säulen stehen muss und dann auch noch zusieht, wie der eigene Held stirbt. Alleine ist das Spiel von Mitte "Abenteuer" bis hin zum Ende von "Das Ende aller Tage" fast schon unmöglich zu schaffen. Klar, es soll eine Herausforderung sein, aber wenn man nur eingefercht und von Armbrustschützen abgeballert wird, macht es keinen Sinn, das Spiel genießen zu wollen. Ich werde zwar weiterhin probieren, weiterzukommen, aber die Motivation/Lust wird bedeutend geringer sein. Übrigens sind manche Bosse *hust hust, der von der Feuerschmiede und der Endboss, hust hust* viel zu stark, da diese entweder Minions/Ads spawnen oder unendlich viel Schaden machen, selbst wenn man das Eisenhautamulett benutzt.

    ENGLISCH/ENGLISH

    I'm actually very happy with MCD, but many things bother me .. Well, first of all I want to deal with the crap with Cloud Saving. As far as I know, Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4 & Xbox One have Cloud Saving, but absolutely nothing is noticeable among PC gamers (including myself). I've already started the second character because the first one is gone forever. Today I lost an hour of progress on the second character, because saving it to the USB stick can, well, be very quick. Well, and I had my old score overwritten to the new one and lost damn good items. This dirt must stop. After all, it is MICROSOFT who manages the game. They have more than enough money to buy Cloud Saving for PC, but NO, of course, that will not be the case with Release.
    Now we come to repetitive gameplay. Everywhere only the same opponents are appearing. If you are extremely unlucky, these magicians, which create the explosive pillars and the ones that don't explode also like to appear around five to ten times. And that happens all the time in the "Fiery Forge" and in the "Cacti Canyon". Just unfair if you are completely locked up, have to stand next to 3 explosive pillars and then also watch your hero die. Alone the game from the middle of "Adventure" to the end of "Apocalypse" is almost impossible to beat. Sure, it's supposed to be a challenge, but if you're just being penned in and pounded by crossbowmen, there's no point trying to enjoy the game. I will continue to try to get ahead, but the motivation/desire will be significantly lower. By the way, some bosses * cough cough, that of the Fiery Forge and the final boss, cough cough * are way too strong, because they either spawn minions / ads or cause infinite damage, even if you use the iron hide amulet.    … Expand
