![]() Enchantments take the place of complex skill-trees which are often found in these games and RPGs, and they apply only to your loot and not your character itself. Rare loot contains perks which makes it more valuable than just the damage it can deal/absorb, and each piece of loot can be enchanted to make it even more powerful. Weapons and armour also require a bit of attention, and are more than just the level number they present. This is likely where we spent the most time between levels, making sure we had artifacts to push mobs back if we get surrounded, heal or protect us from incoming fire, and deal lots of splash damage. Especially when playing with others, you can really shape your team to ensure you have all the bases covered. Artifacts range from offensive, to defensive, to animal allies, and your loadout is something you want to seriously consider and change from level-to-level. Each player has a hand-to-hand weapon, a ranged weapon, and 3 artifacts at their disposal. At first, this felt extremely limited, but given the other stat based things you have to manage, it’s just the right amount of complexity to maintain that family-friend seal.Ĭombat is simple and easy to pick up. While frustrating at first, my girls took our defeats in stride and were immediately coming up with alternative tactics for our next attempt.Ĭharacter customization is limited to pre-made skins and armour which is found through-out the game, and there are no player classes. With ages ranging from 7 to 40, would it be balanced enough to hold all of our attention? The answer is yes! While the early levels require little thought and tactics, the difficulty level ramps up through-out the story and provides quite a challenge in the later levels. There really aren’t many modern games that support local co-op, so when Minecraft Dungeons was announced, with support for 4 local players, I was ecstatic! My daughters are long-time fans of Minecraft, and given the hack-and-slash nature, I knew this was something that would appeal to us all. Basically, a more accessible Diablo with a Minecraft skin.Ĭouch co-op games, especially those supporting more than 2 players, are a thing of the past. While mining and crafting is absent, it absolutely looks, sounds, and feels like Minecraft. ![]() Minecraft Dungeons is a family-friendly loot-based dungeon crawler set in the Minecraft universe.
