Minecraft Dungeons is Diablo But Boring

Minecraft is one of the most important video games to come out in the past decade. There's been plenty of spin-offs too, like Minecraft Story Mode, with the latest being a Diablo inspired dungeon crawler called Minecraft Dungeons. So how does an unlimited potential sandbox translate into an action adventure? Not well....not well.

It's weird how everyone was talking about the game then it just vanished off the face of the earth.

That's called the game having short legs

[@hyperon_ion9423]

That's when you know that there's nothing novel about it. Minecraft Dungeons can be fun, but since it has absolutely no identity of it's own beside it's source material and inspiration from Diablo, you just think about those two rather than the game itself. It's almost a Schrodinger's cat situation.

it was talked about because it has minecraft in the game. It vanished because it's a mediocre game.

The fact it went 50% Minecraft and 50% Diablo is the main issue. It tried to combine the simplicity of minecraft with the gameplay of Diablo, Which it should not have done, because Diablo is not a simple game, and if you strip the complexity, and character building, and different classes from it it's no surprise it will be bland and uninteresting. It doesn't only not bring anything new to the table, it took the good stuff off the table.

Making the main system of the game and releasing it as soon as possible just like Minecraft Earth, the game was missing a lot of features when it started but now it has lots of them.

[@coca-clown]

I have never played Minecraft Dungeons because it looks so uninteresting to me, but I would ADORE a Minecraft Dungeons sequel, I feel like it has every opportunity to make the best choices. I feel the best way to make a sequel would be to take the mining and crafting of Minecraft and try and intergrate it into Minecraft Dungeons in some way [Like crafting your own weapons and traps, digging random ores for materials and brewing potions]. The very idea of the game having randomly/proceduraly generated dungeons and chambers is enough for me to want a sequel really badly, kind of something like Enter The Gungeon.

[@parkour_tnt1331]

@the Emperor of man I can understand why so many people were put off when they started the game, it just felt too short and repetitive. For me, the game was fun because I was searching for ways to make it fun like challenging myself to do some levels with only specific items or changing my builds multiple times. To note, there are actually 15 levels it might take over 10-15 hours just to complete these levels in the default mode, so it's without repeating the levels. Add 10-15 more hours if your going to play the higher difficulties. Edit: Btw, I played over 65 hours :D

[@DUHRIZEO]

@the Emperor of man I think you make a great point that I completely overlooked, and actually makes a ton of sense.

I think the main issue holding Minecraft Dungeons back is that it was released before it was ready. The whole problem of having to destroy your items for instance was fixed by the blacksmith update, which allows you to disenchant items by upgrading them. The only problem with that upgrade mechanic is that it should have been in the game from the beginning.

[@time2e636]

In my opinion, Minecraft Dungeons’ gameplay is satisfying and fun........for the first half an hour of the game. But the game forces you to replay levels multiple times to get more emeralds (the currency) and more powerful weapons, like when you’re near the end (if you haven’t completed the game please stop reading if you plan on doing so) you farm a mushroom monster in a secret level for the best items in the game and it just takes forever and has NO depth at all, and like Jirad (sorry if I pronounced that wrong) said, the game expects you play the story three times to get the ‘full experience’ and to get the best items but the experience is so mind-numbingly boring that’s it’s not really worth the effort, Minecraft Dungeons is an okay game, but there’s not enough depth to the experience to make it worthwhile and therefore, it gets pretty stale pretty quickly, I’m not asking for Dark Souls level depth in combat, but in Dungeons, there’s literally nothing other than: ‘swing weapon, shoot bow, use artifacts every now and then’ and that’s literally it....

While you make fair points, I think you should give the game another shot. In the past few months it’s received several updates that add new content and such, plus there’s been plenty of new DLC. Maybe after the End DLC I think would be a good time to look back into it. Also I do like the games progression system. While many would prefer a proper level up system, I like how Dungeons has it where skills and abilities are based of the equipment you find. The game has received an update to where you can now upgrade your gear too so if you find an item with good enchantments on them you can continue to upgrade it. Overall I think this game deserves a second chance, it has a lot of potential.

[@eybaza6018]

Yeah, I agree, the frequent updates and brilliant dlc content made me stick around minecraft dungeons to this day.

"The enchantment system is the equivalent to having a pokémon, and, in order to make it evolve, you have to release another one of your pokémon. That's just ludicrous!" Not only is it ludicrous, it's also why I'm never gonna be playing Pokémon GO or Pokémon Let's Go.

The point of Minecraft dungeons is that you find good loot and test it out, it’s not all that focused on exploration.

[@bin0mialy251]

They failed in making a proper difficulty setting, you shouldn't be forced to beat the game in order to move on to the next difficulty that only feels like they raised statistics of enemies and using more frequent enchanted enemy spawns (which most people just run by. Due to there being no reward) Difficulty should be able to be chosen at any point and should offer more than minor tweaks and rewards that cannot be available on easier difficulties.

[@fgfh10004]

I feel you are comparing this too much to Diablo. MCD is based on Minecraft, and is a Dungeon Crawler game. This game has different ways of playing it. To each their own, but comparing the two and saying it is boring a bit harsh when they are different for reasons.

[@blazeredraw]

the reason for this is that they really want you to make your own plot by giving hints here and there to the real plot, that is what a ROLE-PLAYING game is all about anyway, it works for Minecraft that it is an open world Sandbox Survival but most people when presented with a story in an adventure Dungeon crawler they want it to be told to them directly instead of having to figure it out by themselves with research

Lol. Really? All dungeon crawlers are the same, with the only big difference being the art and story. Items getting destroyed and losing gear is nothing new to crawlers or RPG's of any design either, or even Minecraft for that matter. I would think a "completionist" would know that if he had played a few crawlers. Ranting about Diablo lore without acknowledging what happens if you die in Diablo 2, or die in Diablo 2/3 in hardcore mode (you dont just lose your pretty enchanted bow, you lose EVERYTHING) and have to start over.

Yesterday, the game was updated. You can now upgrade existing weapons. When you do so, you get all attached enchantment points back. It’s handy.

[@emilhaugsbakk7281]

The main problem i see a lot of people have with minecraft dungeons is that people want an adventure and they think the game is an adventure dungeon crawler. It’s not. It’s a looter dungeon crawler. The game is mostly for collectors who wants to always get stronger and collect everything. It’s for people who like to search for pokemons with the perfect iv and nature. It’s dumb fun and it’s supposed to be played with friends. I had a WAY better time playing the game with my friends. So in conclusion if you want the game because you think you know what it is and that one thing you think it is is all you came for then don’t buy it. If you want the game because you like trying new games or because what i described intrigues you then go for it.

[@overlordjames6644]

You can unlock an NPC that can upgrade your weaker gear with the enchantments you like to your current level. Granted you can only do this with 2 or 3 items at a time and you have to use other equipment while it's being upgraded. But it does exist.

[@micahlynn6837]

Minecraft Dungeons is sort of the equivalent of Lego Games for Minecraft. What I mean, is that in both cases, a brand associated with creation and destruction is turned into a game primarily about destruction (though I would say Lego Games do a better job representing what Lego is).

[@Joryho]

That title. So controversial, yet so true.

[@turrent7821]

Honestly, I quite enjoy the game, I always liked Diablo's game style, but I've never been a fan of it's dark setting. So Minecraft Dungeons was just what I was looking for

[@Blue_ensemble]

The joke is Minecraft dungeons has already been done better years ago by fans with mods, a lot of dedicated time to make amazing maps and structures as well as some tools to script whole RPG systems, dialogues and stories. Add all of those together and you get the Minecraft spinoff game I'd like to play. For free to boot.
