Minecraft Dungeon\u2019s<\/a> releases early next week (May 26) for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Switch, and PC. While the review embargo has now lifted, Jeff Cork is still furiously working his way through this lighthearted action\/RPG in an effort to deliver our review. If you can\u2019t wait for that final analysis, I\u2019ve also spent several hours with this co-op friendly adventure, and while I\u2019m not ready to put down the controller, I\u2019m unsure how long this loot grind will keep me interested.<\/p>\n

At first glance, it\u2019s easy to write off Dungeons as Diablo for Minecraft fans, and some of those comparisons are warranted. Up to four players team up to explore a variety of dungeons as they tear through hordes of monsters and gather loot that makes their heroes stronger. The core loop remains inviting, but its loot implementation is a little messy.<\/p>\n

All of your skills and abilities are tied to your gear, which provides a unique spin on the traditional action\/RPG class system. I appreciate the flexibility this offers because I\u2019ve been able to sample several different abilities by simply swapping out my weapons and artifacts. One piece of equipment I acquired early was a horn that pushed enemies back and slows them down for a few seconds. This proved incredibly useful when dealing with swarms, and I really love using it to shove enemies off cliffs.<\/p>\n

The loot system is also flexible enough that you can create some pretty interesting builds. At one point, I become a hulking tank who reflected damage back at my foes. Another time, I experimented with a support class that slowed down enemies while I was healing my friends. You can even equip an assortment of gear that lets you summon pets and other helpers, allowing you to lead a small army into battle. Unfortunately, when it comes to character archetypes, you\u2019re at the mercy of random drops. At one point, I acquired a really nice bow and a few artifacts that boosted my ranged attacks, so it would have been smart to play as some kind of rogue. However, I wanted play as a close-quarters tank, and unfortunately, I wasn\u2019t getting the right gear drops to support that playstyle.<\/p>\n

You gain enchantment tokens as you level up, which are used to power up your favorite gear. Unfortunately, the only way to retrieve those tokens is to destroy the gear they\u2019re powering. This means you have to commit to each piece of gear; without destroying your previous enchanted equipment, you probably won\u2019t have enough tokens to see what a promising piece of new gear is truly capable of. There have been several moments where I\u2019ve wanted to power-up a new piece of gear and test its limits, but hesitated because I wasn\u2019t ready to destroy my existing gear to retrieve their tokens.<\/p>\n

Despite some clunky elements in the loot system, Dungeons is otherwise an incredibly approachable game. I\u2019ve enjoyed powering up my hero during these early hours. Dungeons’ fundamentals are easy to grasp, and its various difficulty settings made it easy to find a challenge I was comfortable with. I\u2019ve had the most fun plowing through dungeons with a few friends, but playing solo is also a good time. Dungeons maintains Minecraft\u2019s unique visual style, but it also adds a few subtle visual effects that really pop and lend an appropriate amount of chaos to bigger battles. I\u2019ve never been a big fan of Minecraft\u2019s visual style, but the aesthetics in Dungeons don\u2019t turn me off.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Without fully exploring the end-game options, I don\u2019t know how (or if) any of Minecraft Dungeons\u2019 bigger issues will be addressed. Hopefully Mojang adds more random elements to dungeons after you beat the end boss, and I\u2019d love to see a way to power up or customize some of my favorite gear. Overall, Minecraft Dungeons takes some bold swings and provides a different flavor of action\/RPG. If you\u2019re hungry for something casual and new, Dungeon\u2019s might be a good fit, but it won\u2019t be for everyone.<\/p>\n
