Apr 14, 2023Funny, fast-paced action in a slick Minecraft overworld, with more combat than building.

Apr 14, 2023Minecraft Legends demonstrates the ability of Blackbird Interactive to also range over genres other than the classic RTS, given the more action imprint of this title. There is some doubt about its accessibility to the youngest, given the dexterity it requires in giving specific orders and the limited independence of our allies in the field, but otherwise it is a great way to pass the hours for those who want to pass the whim for strategy but look for something more relaxed than the standard RTS.

Apr 18, 2023The Minecraft saga continues: Minecraft Legends is a beautiful strategy game, made for beginners of the genre. The campaign and the versus-mode are fun to play. If there wouldn’t be some bigger pathfinding issues with our A.I. compagnons and with more options of commands, the game would be even better.

Apr 14, 2023With Minecraft Legends, Mojang has hit the bull's-eye again. The attempt to overturn a usually complex genre to make it perfectly accessible to gamers of all ages has been successful, without however renouncing a layered gameplay, capable of giving satisfaction even to those who want to invest time in online modes. Of course, we would have liked some more content at launch and a greater variety in terms of both the single player and online components, but we are confident in post-launch support, usually one of the studio's flagships.

Apr 14, 2023Minecraft Legends isn't going to rewrite the book on action strategy games. However, it offers compelling gameplay backed by mechanics from the main game that rewards exploration and ingenuity, on top of having an easy control set-up.

Apr 18, 2023Minecraft Legends is a good but simple strategy game that is perfect for beginners. The world of Minecraft is well conveyed in all its glory and the balance between building and demolition makes long lasting battles a legendary story to tell.

Apr 14, 2023Minecraft's blocky charm is present and correct, but the rest of Minecraft Legends is only as deep as the skins it wants to sell you.

Apr 14, 2023Minecraft Legends is a charming portmanteau of genres that manages to simplify the RTS formula while still demanding a fair amount of concentration and strategy. I’m interested to see where the game goes in the future; players might use its mechanics to create truly terrifying multiplayer strategies that escalate in amazing ways. Or they might just enjoy the campaign and then go back to their own realm, to tame their own wilderness away from the chimes of quest givers. Legends is a charming and colorful adventure, and it’s nice to finally befriend the humble Creeper.

Apr 14, 2023All of this could be fixed with future updates, but I think the devs have built themselves into a corner with the fundamentals of Minecraft Legends. Adding more content and complexity won't solve the issue of the awkward control scheme and lack of precision - something that all RTS games need in order to be great.
