Minecraft Legends launches for Xbox and joins Game Pass next week! Here's what we had to say about Mojang's new action-strategy game...
never really grabbed my attention when it was announced. I’m not a big strategy head, and I couldn’t quite figure out who an action-strategy game set in the world of Minecraft might be for, but after playing through the game’s campaign and competing in online PvP, I was left pleasantly surprised. Minecraft Legends isn’t the deepest strategy game in the world, but I found it somewhat compelling, and it certainly didn’t outstay its welcome.
Once laden with resources, it’s time to bring the fight to the Piglins by attacking bases and defending villages. On the map, you’ll find different Piglin outposts, villages, and other secrets. How you tackle the outposts is completely up to you, but you’ll need to be aware that the Piglins don’t just hole up in their bases.
Defending villages broke up the offensive gameplay nicely, to begin with, and I quite enjoyed having to sit back and plan out my defences. Each village defence requires you to hold out against a Piglin attack for a set amount of time, and it’s worth defending them as villages act as useful fast travel points. While, again, there wasn’t that much deep strategy involved here other than throwing up a few walls and simple arrow towers, defending is still a fun experience.
