Few games have ever been so monolithically successful as Minecraft, the sandbox game that saw the world as an enormous pile of building blocks. More than 200 million copies of the game have been sold to date; easy enough for children to pick up and enjoy, but complex enough to keep adult fanatics engrossed, Minecraft was a game that truly appealed to everyone.

The same cannot be said of the new spin-off, Minecraft Dungeons, which grafts Minecraft’s blocky aesthetic onto a light, third-person action game. Dungeons is one of a few Minecraft spin-offs that have emerged in recent years, such as Minecraft Earth, the augmented-reality game that was released last year, or Minecraft Classic, a remake of the original 2009 game that functions within your internet browser.

In Dungeons, players battle their way through procedurally generated levels – algorithm-created dungeons that are different on each playthrough – plundering loot and amassing new weapons and armour. The gameplay will feel familiar to anyone who has played dungeon crawlers, such as Diablo.

Combat is repetitive but slick, and there is enough variety in the artefacts and weapons to keep things interesting throughout the game’s (admittedly, too short) story. Characters, items, enemies and environments are all drawn in the classic Minecraft style; specific creations, such as the dangerous “creepers” that explode on proximity, are faithfully imported here.
