    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.
    If you have gamepass then you can check it out and likely get bored after a couple hours. NO WAY recommend buying this.    … Expand

Would be more interesting if they could add anything compelling or enjoyable to do in the game before trying to sell additional content.

    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?

    No content except of stupidly short story. For future to come will be everything purchasable. Loot drop disaster. No sharing with friends.

I also think the developers did a good job making the world look like Minecraft. The movement animations for the enemies and animals are very fluid. 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

    There are no mechanics carried over from Minecraft - no crafting, no destructible environments, no ability to build structures - and many features such as The Nether, Mushroom Bios, Ice Bios etc are absent as well.

Levels although repetitive are fun, the loot system is well balance, good variety of enemies, great visuals and music etc. However, the game is tiny, the story is almost non-existent, the gameplay is not good enough to warrant a second play through and the fact that there is DLC already despite the small size is a real low blow as well.

    I'm kind of just confused as to why this exists? If you're not going to bring anything from Minecraft except a superficial reproduction of its exterior then why even bother?

    A nice try from Mojang, and sadly thats it, nothing more than a nice try.
    The game is all around polished, with a few minor bugs(buggy/chunky movement, mobs spawning into objects), the gameplay is smooth but gets boring after a couple of hours.
    The game lacks key features to become a clean member of the genre.
    The gameplay is boring and uninteractive, lack of diversity in mobs and enemy enchantments just supports this statement.
    The game lacks "indirect progression", the players don't want to craft the weapon they need with enchantments they want obviously, but we need a different system other then this full random mess the game uses, only thing you can control in progression is farming in an area where the item can drop(not taking level difference in said items, different and/or unnecessary enchantments on them which give no help to your build in to count)
    The progression is very weak, get item, get level, enchant it if the said item has any useful enchantments and thats it. The game lacks crafting, different kind of merchants and means of getting gear. And one huge problem: THE GAME LACKS PLAYER TO PLAYER TRADING.
    The players should be able to modify gear in some regard, changing enchantments or stats on them.
    The game has major balancing issues too, some builds are overall better in all terms(cough, soul build) making any other builds seem useless.
    The game turns into a repetative farm fest, trying to get the item to drop in the right enchantments or farming emeralds (currency in the game) and buying FULLY RANDOM GEAR and thats it, thats the whole progression, in the later stages of game (after the default playthrough) the XP levels to enchant become less of an issue, as you'll get overleveled and undergeared really fast.
    There is currently no endgame content in the game, only the repetative default "mission" maps. The game lacks end game content, like bossing, adventure hunting, fun quests, labyrinths, PVP and those are only just a few things that other games have in the genre.    … Expand

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

    Pros: Fast gameplay that's very fun and easy to learn. The item-based abilities and enchanting are brilliantly done, unique, and create a surprising amount of depth. Replayability is high as even though you're hitting the same levels, they get bigger and have more secretes. Also, new items and enchants appear as you go as well so it's not just grind-for-higher-numbers.

    Cons: It's buggy    Pros: Fast gameplay that's very fun and easy to learn. The item-based abilities and enchanting are brilliantly done, unique, and create a surprising amount of depth.

    Cons: It's buggy as all crap with control issues, lag issues, crashing issues, disconnects (+always online!), falling through the floor, and more. We cannot play a single level without 1 of the above issues.

    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.

    The conclusion: MC Dungeons could have been one of the greats but critical flaws bring it way way down.    … Expand

    This game costs way to much for how little content it has

    This game was obviously made just to farm on top of the original Minecraft. This is probably why the game in general has little inspiration, creativity and is very short. BUT this does not mean that the game is to be played out. It's fun and playing with a friend adds to the fun.

    No tiene crossplay entre plataformas, no tiene crossbuy, a pesar de ser de microsoft no es playanywhere y por supuesto, no respeta el poder jugar con tu cuenta familiar de Gamepass Ultimate, es un saca cuartos como la copa de un pino que ademas, por el momento tiene poquisimo contenido, nada recomendable si esperas un juego que te dure mas de 2 dias.

    Ich bin eigentlich sehr zufrieden mit MCD, jedoch stören mich viele Dinge.. Nun, erstmal will ich auf den Mist mit Cloud Saving eingehen.

    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

    Good gameplay, low bugs. Very funny played with others friends and easy to invite it.
    The story is trivial and foregone. Other problem is that it's too short. If you want to expand your adventure in game you have to pay too soon in my opinion. Another problem, DLCs too short in relation to what you pay.
    Unnerving.

The story isn't incredibly engaging but it seems to be getting better with the DLCs which is a welcome surprise. If it were stable, I'd rate it about a 7.5.

That being said, it's an incredibly unstable game and seems to be getting worse with time. It crashes about every other level in the middle of the level causing you to potentially lose as much as a half an hour worth of progress. Every single time we play our game night is ended with the frustration of it crashing and we don't bother trying again. The development team has known for the 10 months since release but isn't responsive so I don't hold much hope that it gets fixed.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Игра очень хорошая, геймплей интересный, боссы не сложные, на финального босса уйдёт максимум попыток 5 (если вы не нуб, а также если у вас более-менее нормальный лут). На поздних этапах игры становится сложнее, но всё ещё легко. Я могу говорить об игре справедливо, так как прошёл её на апокалипсис +7.

    En cuanto a la jugabilidad es casi la misma que todos los juegos de dungeons haciendolo un poco repetitivo a veces pero la gran cantidad de armas y artilugios que hay en el juego vuelve grata la experiencia de juego ya que hay muchas maneras de enfrentarse a los enemigos con estos.
    La dificultad del juego dependera totalmente del jugador con su sistema de dificultad que se divide en 3 niveles con varios sub niveles de dificultad en los que el jugador debera ir escalando asi que puede jugar a un ritmo relajado o aventurarse en niveles de dificultad mas altos que los niveles de su equipamiento.
    El juego es una buena opcion para pasar el rato con amigos y familia ya que es un juego de clasificacion familiar y con el modo multijugador online se puede disfrutar la experiencia aun mas con tus amigos.    … Expand

    Amusingly, Telltale’s Story Mode had more Minecraft in it than Dungeons does: it involved a little mining and crafting, at least. Dungeons features neither, and although its levels are made of blocks, they are indestructible. [Issue#247, p.67]

    Minecraft Dungeons is a perfect game for young players who haven't had a chance to play the Diablo series yet. Otherwise it is just an untraditional take on the hack n' slash RPGs with something to keep you interested for a while. [Issue#304]
