    The game just frequently freezes and a lot of crashes! Also content at this time in the game are not so much.

    First and foremost, this is a game targeted at children. However, children are not stupid. I believe that this game could be a lot deeper than it currently is and the excuse that "it's just for children" is not an excuse. Mario rabbids is aimed at children and yet it is far more deeper than this game and is proof children can handle a challenge and deep gameplay mechanics.

Mario rabbids is aimed at children and yet it is far more deeper than this game and is proof children can handle a challenge and deep gameplay mechanics. This game doesn't have any deep gameplay mechanics like a game such as Torchlight, an ARPG cheaper than Dungeons. The game is also lacking in content which is a shame. A replayable adventure mode, and some more levels would have made me think highly of this game, but the lack of content and shallow gameplay just aren't acceptable for me as an ARPG fan. You'll be better off buying Torchlight or Diablo 3 imo, this game is a safe skip (unless they do some fixes to make the game better)… Expand

    Though I enjoy the game itself, I regret buying it for the Switch. I play coop with my partner and the game often dips to framerates that are so low, that the game is nearly not playable. It needs a lot more work.

    Performance on switch is absolutely terrible and the devs give a f**** about it. It‘s somewhere between 10-20 FPS, sometimes even less. Instead of releasing one DLC after another, they should fix this absolute broken game.

    Just not enough things to do in the game, you would have expected better from Mojang.

    A game is foremost supposed to be fun and that is where Minecraft Dungeons fails the most it is just not fun from the second half on. It is difficult to put your finger onto the reasons. I guess it is a combination of the fighting not beeing fluid, the weird skill system, if one can call it that and bad balancing. Other than that for a long time Diablo and Path of Exile player like me thisA game is foremost supposed to be fun and that is where Minecraft Dungeons fails the most it is just not fun from the second half on.

Other than that for a long time Diablo and Path of Exile player like me this game just not has what it would need to satisfy my need for hunting better gear and min-maxing my character. However, I still could live with that if the game just would be fun!… Expand

    But they fixed the spelling error in the Switch menu, that's something i guess.

    So yeah a two out of ten went to a zero out of ten.

    Intro:
    It appears the developers tried to fulfill the minimum requirements for a Diablo-Style game and they failed with that.

    is this a Beta:
    First of all its not finished!
    The game has FPS drops, quite often to a point where it influences game-play.
    Every few missions the game freezes, I had to restart my Switch a few times...
    Sometimes the game places enemys underneath the floor, so you can't attack them but exploding Creepers still hurt you, mages still hit you with spells etc.
    After every stage you get a lootchest, even thats buggy too, the game doesn't like to load the floors texture so the chest is often having a rave party or is half buried in a grey Wall.
    in the German versions title there is a typo, so I'm playing Minecraft Duneons the whole time... brilliant
    It is not possible to add friends to your XBox Account ( thats needet for playing online, why is my Nintendo-Account not enough??) from the main menu. Wanna play with a new friend? Start a Game add your friend quit the game and then join your new buddy... brilliant.

    That's this betas obvious technical problems, how about game play?

    Basics:
    Its an Hack and Slay ARP reduced to the basic mechanics, no classes and no skill trees, everything is Item based. The player gets a melee weapon a ranged weapon, armor and three artifacts that act as Skills. After each level up the player gets points witch can be invested in your gear, when you find better gear you can sell the item and get you Skillpoints back. In my case, the game chose on one occasion to take the skill points away instead of adding them back after i sold an armour, so i had to make a new Char.. brilliant
    The game is way better when playing in coop, it seems to be designed like that... so why is there no matchmaking?
    There is no matchmaking in a game that's designed to be played in coop... brilliant

    Fighting:
    You char can perform a roll to get you out of trouble( in theory), the roll has a ridiculous cool down (way too long for an ACTION RPG), you can't roll trough enemys and they can still hit you while rolling, the melee type enemys turn mid attack to hit you while rolling... brilliant
    The Skills practicality varies strongly, the heal-item is a must, because the health-potion has a ridiculous cool down(way too long for an ACTION RPG)², so you basically have 2 other skills to choose from... brilliant.
    There are summoning-items for a Llama and a Wolf and they are worthless on maps with traps, guess why... that's right they are suicidal and want to kill themselves by triggering every trap and gleefully run into everything deadly, (probably because they know they are in Minecraft Duneons)

    The license:
    I could go into detail how except for its appearance, this game has nothing to do with Minecraft, no mining, no crafting, no exploration (except dead ends and very rarely a chest), nothing to be creative with... Minecraft INO.

    Conclusion:
    A quick cashrgrab with the Minecraft license.
    If you want an easy to get into Diablo like game, buy Torchlight 2...

    Outro:
    And the best thing, you can already buy not yet released DLC for this unfinished game.    … Expand

    Imagine if this game doesn’t contain minecraft in it’s title and developed and published by a small indie dev rather than mojang : what’s your rating for the game? A big zero, 0, because this game is a bad game that only appeal to people because it’s using ‘minecraft’ in it’s title

    Switch player.
    I strongly suggest people not to buy this game.
    Reasons: game crashes constantly, 1 of every 3 games will crash, we are talking about playing a stage for 40 minutes and the game crashing just by the end, its unplayable. In multiplayer its bettwr to just forget it,only one game of every 5 will not freeze its almost imposible to get 4 players together for a full game. This    Switch player.

    This will be unacceptable even for a beta version but a year after the game still not improved.
    Developers have been told and the company just seems to care about getting DLC out to cadhgrab I hope this review helps ypu
    The game itself is really good, just unplayable    … Expand

    The game is unplayable when the game crashes halfway through a level, causing you to restart a level multiple times. Got to floor 29/30 while going through the tower, and then the game froze and crashed.

    this game is good but switch port is broken (pc version is the best and it's in game pass)

    very lag on the switch version, the only advantage that it can be brought easily, so if you want to play mcd on the outdoor, it's a good choice but if you wanna have the best experience of the game, don't buy this

    Minecraft Dungeons is a great game for newcomers of the genre, the series, and veteran players alike. Only slightly held back by its lacklustre graphics in handheld mode, this dungeon crawler is definitely worth a go.
