This nagging eases up the further you progress in the campaign - but it was frustrating for the game’s systems to allow me to explore a forest, and enjoy the light dappling through voxel branches, only for its overseer characters to consistently berate me. So, they incessantly harp on the fact that another village is under attack. The problem is, my three hosts would rather I stick to the task at hand. I found that rushing to an outpost and leisurely taking my time had the exact same effect there are no penalties for being tardy. In fact, there’s ample time to explore the wilderness, discover treasure, and generally screw around. Minecraft Legends starts as a very simple challenge, but the battlefields get increasingly crowded, and I have to figure out new ways to herd my armies like lemmings through enemy territory.Īs it turns out, there are almost no concrete consequences for ditching the overworld battles for a bit. Over time, the Piglins get more sophisticated in their tech, and so do I - we’re now embroiled in a blocky arms race.
I can also reinforce villages, throwing up defensive towers, walls, and gates.
MINECRAFT LEGEND FULL
If I find a mysterious chest full of resources on a cliffside, I can build a ramp up there to enjoy those riches. When a Piglin camp is on the other side of a lava moat, I can simply create a stone bridge to allow me passage. While my new friends are the star of the show, the structures I can create prove to be handy as well. It makes for an approachable strategy/action mashup - Minecraft Legends is on consoles and, like most things set in this universe, is meant to be a game children can enjoy - but it does mean I have to carefully repeat a sequence of small and easy-to-forget actions to set a big army in motion. It’s a lot like a real-time strategy game, but pared down. I have to create spawning centers for the helpers, stand by and manually spawn each ally, rally them to my side, and direct them into battle. It can be a bit unintuitive to actually use my army, and it takes several steps to execute a strategy. Minecraft Legends is a charming portmanteau of genres that manages to simplify the RTS formula while still demanding a fair amount of concentration and strategy Luckily, I can find more soldiers and even sway enemies to my side, including explosive Creepers. When I run into more sophisticated fortresses and army camps, my starting troops may not be up to the task. There are golems called the “allay,” which help me mine resources and turn them into defensive structures. Because I don’t have many methods for fighting the Piglins directly - besides riding my horse and swinging my sword - I distribute most of the work among my new allies. I can create spawning centers for them, and then rally them to my banner. I have a diamond sword, a lovely lute, and several helpful golems.
They then give you some tools to tackle the Piglin threat. These three extradimensional hosts are meant to represent the pillars of playing Minecraft, and they guide you through several tutorial battles to demonstrate the game’s colliding genres. The campaign opens with you digging a tunnel, only to be recruited by Foresight, Action, and Knowledge. Image: Mojang Studios, Blackbird Interactive/Xbox Game Studios
