An action strategy spinoff that disappoints both genres and misses Minecraft's magic.

Minecraft Legends is an engaging strategy game that capably combines the established Minecraft world with a streamlined RTS structure.

A failed attempt to turn Minecraft into a real-time strategy game, that goes out of its way to be as shallow as possible and is made worse by fiddly controls and terrible AI.

Minecraft Legends battles to blend its open-world adventuring with the intricacies of real-time strategy, a war that sometimes detracts from the overall fun you can have. Even so, its gorgeous environments and clever world-building inspire familiar creativity that makes up for its growing pains.

But when its grip loosens, there’s a vibrant world of combat challenges to discover, ultimately making it an enticing endeavor.
