Instead, our guides bestow us with Allays, useful friends that will either gather or build for us. The usual wood, stone, diamond, iron, redstone and coal ores are all present and accounted for, but this time it wont be you diligently hammering at the blocks with your fists. You’re given a quick tutorial on the mechanics that you’ll be using throughout the game, so you won’t be going in blind.įirstly, resource gathering and building. It’s all fully voice acted with some pretty cutscenes throughout, with similar slapstick found in the many Travellers Tale’s LEGO games. Three guardians, known as Foresight, Action and Knowledge, pluck you from your mining activities and task you with thwarting the Piglin threat and restoring peace to the Overworld. Let me set the stage The Piglins, who live in the Nether Underworld, have created portals and are invading the peaceful, villager filled Overworld with a desire to seize control. There’s a campaign to tackle (in co-op if you wish), and a hefty multiplayer component (which I sense is where the main draw to the game lies) all with cross play included. I say action-orientated, because the key difference is instead of the player taking a birds eye view of the battlefield, you’re down in the trenches with your troops, swinging your diamond sword with wanton abandon.
Minecraft Legends is a blocky take on an action-orientated realtime strategy game. So if, like me, you’re not the biggest strategy fan out there, but want to know if you or more importantly, your kids will enjoy this particular outing in the franchise, this is the review for you.
Minecraft, that gargantuan franchise that just never seems to stop selling, has once again dipped its toes into another new genre following the successful diablo-lite adventuring of Minecraft Dungeons.ĭeveloped in partnership with franchise custodians Mojang and Blackbird Interactive, does Minecraft Legends surprise and delight?įull disclosure I’m not the biggest strategy fan on the team here at Xbo圎ra, but I do share a household with a Minecraft expert, that being my 8 year old son.
