Minecraft Legends captures the magic of Minecraft in a wholly new way. It's chaotic, it's creative, it's competitive and it's an absolute blast.

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.

A mix of RTS, tower defense, and open world epics, Minecraft Legends feels completely unique; a strategic breath of fresh air with interesting mechanics and an amazingly fun gameplay loop. But the absolutely stellar game design in Minecraft Legends is ultimately undone by bugs and AI/pathfinding issues. There is an amazing game at the core of Minecraft Legends, addictive and compelling. I'm frankly obsessed over it. But that makes it all the more disappointing that the technical implementation of the game can't support it's lofty ambitions.

If you don't enjoy RTS games or aren't a fan of the franchise, then this won't be the game that will sway you, but I can recommend this if you're curious about how Minecraft and this genre of game can coexist. Or, of course, if you're a Minecraft fan in general.

It's Pikmin meets Minecraft meets RTS! While not the most difficult strategy game on the market, it'll suit those gamers who love the Minecraft universe and will give them enough incentive and enjoyment to keep playing to the end.

There's a ton of fun packed into Minecraft Legends. It certainly takes a long time to understand how it all works together but, once you get over that hump, you'll end up having a wonderful time making delicious bacon out of those dastardly piglins.
