Minecraft Legends Reviews
Minecraft Legends seeks to enter the strategy genre in a simple and familiar way. Without being a bad game, this shows its simplicity through unpolished mechanics within a varied world but without depth.

It's worth keeping an eye on, especially for those who are high followers of Pikmin-style titles, which are enjoyable as long as they are played with their respective pause. And as I mentioned, it may even be to the taste of those who are not really interested in the Minecraft that we have known all our lives.

It isn't complex enough to satiate veteran RTS players and doesn't offer mountains of content, but Minecraft Legends delivers the basic loop of attacking and defending territory and finds the odd inventive way to use its iconic IP.
Overall, Minecraft Legends is a simple, yet effective introduction to the RTS genre for newcomers like myself. While I don’t necessarily see myself sinking a ton of time into the game going forward –primarily because RTS games still aren’t my thing– I do appreciate Mojang’s effort in expanding the Minecraft universe and experimenting with different genres to see how creative they can get with the IP. Slightly janky controls aside, Minecraft Legends is a solid adventure to experience with friends, and it’ll keep you occupied for hours on end. Just don’t go in expecting a ton of single-player content you can enjoy on your own time.
Charming and adorable with a lot of potential for a unique Minecraft style Real Time Strategy, but falls very short of being a fulfilling experience.
This game is downright adorable, and while I do wish there was more depth to it, there’s still plenty here to enjoy. Each world is randomly generated, so there’s tons of replayability, and you can play on different difficulties. I had a lot of fun running around and exploring, finding the map’s secrets and hanging with the locals. You’re able to team up with friends on any platform to help fight the piglins, or you can go head-to-head in PVP to test out each other’s defenses.
Even though Minecraft Legends isn't a bad game, the fact that it's in direct competition with its much better predecessor makes the title hard to recommend.
Minecraft Legends should provide a lot of fun in small doses because most of the gameplay mechanics are superb. What’s more, the game will receive a multiplayer mode in the future, which should offer a completely different experience.

Minecraft Legends overall is a great game both in single-player and multiplayer, bringing a fun experience for all ages as you defend the new land you are exploring and build your way around objects laying in your way.
Minecraft Legends is a fresh spin on a classic game that isn't afraid to boldly try something new. Come for the battles, but stay for the tender storyline that empowers the player with how their actions are affecting the game world as they take down the Piglin forces. This one feels like it's for Minecraft fans in one way, but in another it's all about battling and sadly this leads to player imagination jumping in the back seat. Regardless, it's either a fresh spin that will be your jam, or you'll be craving the freedom of the original.
Minecraft Legends is a perfectly serviceable strategy title, especially for those who love the setting, but the lack of pacing and unit management like you'd find elsewhere in the genre brings it down a peg or two.
Minecraft Legends is the best Minecraft spin-off yet, offering a wholly unique experience, lathered with a lovingly crafted layer of Minecraft infused paint. From a moreish campaign to ridiculously enjoyable versus mode, Minecraft Legends has something for everyone, and I suspect many will love what it has to offer.
Minecraft Legends isn't going to rewrite the book on action strategy games. However, it offers compelling gameplay backed by mechanics from the main game that rewards exploration and ingenuity, on top of having an easy control set-up.
The building blocks of Legends' personality and hybrid design are there, but Mojang & Blackbird fumbled with this blueprint.
Minecraft: Dungeons is simple and has a fairly rich gameplay that allows players to experience the fun of collecting, building and fighting. Each Piglin stronghold in the game is well designed, and you need to organise your strategy carefully to win, which can provide a sense of achievement when you conquer them. Unfortunately, there is a lack of depth in the unit and technology design, and attacking fortresses can be frustrating. In addition, despite its open-world design concept, the actual content is somewhat empty, and the defence phase during each nightly Piglin attack can also be quite exhausting.

Minecraft Legends is an RTS-lite Minecraft experience that feels like Pikmin at times. While not the most difficult strategy game on the market, it will suit those gamers who love the Minecraft universe and will give you enough incentive and enjoyment to keep playing in the end. Once it's all done and as the maps are procedurally created, you can start again for a slightly different experience.
Minecraft Legends is a genuinely impressive RTS effort that has the potential to convert Minecraft fans into enthusiasts of the genre. Although it's not always a seamless blend, most of its issues can be resolved through understanding and patience.
Though it can be a relatively shallow and imperfect game, Minecraft Legends offers a fun and unique experience that feels befitting of a Minecraft spinoff.
The idea of fusing Minecraft's core mechanics with a strategic gameplay has proven to be a lot of fun in certain moments, but has also shown several gaps in creativity and freedom of approach.

Minecraft Legends brings the blocky world of Minecraft into a world that relies on strategy.
