JustATortoise – Is Minecraft Dungeons Worth It In 2023?

So, Minecraft. One of, if not, the most popular  game in the world. With its unique blockiness and   sandbox gameplay, it swept the world. After  years of Minecraft growing to be the best,   Mojang had to have some spin-off to make some more  money, so then came Minecraft Dungeons. Diablo,  

But minecraft style, and with some twists. Today,  we are talking about the game known as Minecraft   Dungeons, and if it’s worth buying in 2023. In this video we are going to be talking   about the fundamentals of the game, what it  has to offer, and maybe a bit of its future.

Gameplay Minecraft Dungeons is a dungeon-crawler   of which you can play solo, or co-op. The point  of the game is focused on unlocking better gear   and equipment, upgrading your current gear,  and progressing through the story and multiple  

Difficulties. You have a base of where you can  upgrade and swap out gear, and a map of where   all the missions you can do are available.  You can then choose what difficulty you want,   and go into the mission. Once you finish  the main story, you are meant to go back  

And go the same missions but on an even  higher difficulty with better rewards,   or you can buy 1 of the 6 DLCs available as  shown on screen. The game can be beaten in a   few hours, but if you go through through every  secret mission, attempt the game on higher  

Difficulties, do the tower, do ancient hunts,  and continue to try and get better and better,   you can easily burn dozens of hours without  buying a single DLC, which is what I have done. Replayability In my opinion, this game has tons of  

Replayability. With being able to play every level  with whatever difficulties you want, and all the   other “gamemodes” that you are able to do to get  better gear, there is a ton to play. Along with  

Being able to play with your friends and buy DLCs  after you get bored of the main story, there is   so much to do. But to some people who don’t like  grindy type games or dungeon-crawlers in general,   it might get a bit repetitive after a  while. Which comes into the next category. Pros-Cons 

This game has many ups, but  also has its downs, lets see.  Pros: Good Price – In my opinion, $20 is pretty   cheap when you consider that most Triple A games  are $60 or more, and the 6 DLCs are available in  

A $20 pack also. The game is also available  for free on Xbox Gamepass, so even better!  Customizability – Unlike in other dungeon-crawlers  like Diablo, of where there is a set class you   have to choose, Minecraft Dungeons is very  open to whatever style you want to play.  

You can change your whole set of gear mid  battle if you wanted too. I also think that   their cosmetics are really good, and you can get  alot for free in their “Adventure Hub,” which is   just the Fortnite Battle Pass but Minecraft. Easy To Get Into – This game is a very good  

Intro into the dungeon-crawler genre. I think  some people forget that the game is meant for   a younger audience, and can get a bit easy at  times, but don’t let that scare you away as there   are many ways to make it harder and more fun. Content – After you complete some of the first  

Levels, you are introduced to many more  things. You can unlock side-missions in   the main-missions you play, you are able to play  the tower which is its own thing and is a blast,   and you are also able to do Ancient Hunts which  bring a whole new plate to the table. Not even  

Including the quest to find all the hidden runes  in all the levels to unlock another secret level.   There is so much to do in this game. Cons:  Despite everything I said before, there  are still some things bad about the game. 

Content – I know I had this in the pros section,  but it also can be a con to some people,   as the other “gamemodes” that are brought  to the table can get repetitive sometimes,   and after you play them, there is  nothing really else other than those. 

Glitches – Despite existing for almost  3 years now, the game has its glitches   and bugs that every game has, but you  can’t deny that they are still there.  Lack of Updates – Lately the game has not  been seeing much more content coming to  

It , which takes me into the next category.  I’m not complaining about those as they are   still nice, but the game hasn’t had  much big changes/ updates in a while. Future Minecraft Dungeons   is a very fun game and has tons of potential,  but it hasn’t seen many big updates in a while.  

Most of the updates that Mojang have gave it are  new Adventure Passes, or past events, which I’m   not complaining about as they are still good, but  the game just hasn’t had much change in a while.   This might be because most of the developers at  Mojang have been working on Minecraft Legends, and  

Since it is releasing soon they might come back  to Dungeons, but despite my hope I kinda doubt   that will happen. Hopefully I’m proven wrong,  but that is just the current state of the game. Conclusion  Minecraft Dungeons is a very fun twist to  the Minecraft franchise and brings alot  

To the dungeon-crawler table, but still  has its issues. So, the final question.   Is Minecraft Dungeons worth it in 2023? In my  opinion, I think the game is 100% worth a try,   especially if you have Xbox Gamepass. But if  you aren’t a fan of dungeon-crawlers in general,  

This game might not be a view-changing  experience to you, but I’d still advise to   give it a try as it is an easy intro into the  genre of dungeon-crawlers and can be a blast. Do you disagree with anything, have anything  to add? Post in the comments below as I will
