While Minecraft Dungeons spawns the same playful art style as the hugely popular series. This recently released dungeon crawler by Microsoft is anything but playful.
From the beginning my expectations for a "casual" RPG with friends were surprisingly squashed when I was met with endless hordes of monsters trying to keep me from my objective. The simple mechanics like dodging and avoiding projectiles were reminiscent of games from the 80's and 90's like galaga and space invaders. I found my spending hours fighting zombies reluctant to quit due to the scale of obtainable items available the more I progressed. Some items compliment each other. Offering the unique opportunity to create a class specific role to your character. Team dynamics in higher tier levels so having a healer around helps. Either go at it alone or with up to 4 players cooperative. The best thing about this game is it's FREE with XBOX and PC game pass. Game pass offers a variety of A+++ titles for a small monthly fee subscription. First time users can try it for $1.
