Minecraft Dungeons Deserved Better 

If this video does well I'll finish the trilogy with Minecraft Story Mode. Edit: Before I get more comments on this, when I talk about how there’s a lack of cutscenes I’m specifically referring to animated cutscenes like in Legends, NOT the mini intros that are essentially loading screens for the stage. Thank you to everyone who pointed it out.

This was actually a really great video on Dungeons. I used to play all the time with my buddy when it first came out, but it can feel very lonely at times without anyone to play with. It certainly needs polishing, but, I think that overall its still a great game.

I dunno how many people that have said this but... The best-case scenario "last update" would have been a modding compatibility update, so the devs can extend the game's lifespan while metaphorically "Leaving the story to the players"

I have all the DLC, and to be completely honest, the "final boss" just kinda jumps on you and you only get 2 very disjointed cutscenes after defeating him (which isn't very hard) making the end unsatisfying. But I still love the game, whenever I'm bored and have nothing else to do it's great just to pick up and play

a game that starts because of villager to illager racism

Minecraft Dungeons should’ve never been discontinued. Legends deserved an anniversary update before it discontinuation

As someone who finished the main campaign recently and started the dlc, I agree with most of your points except the cutscene one, because at the beginning of all of the levels there is a short cutscene that explains why you are doing what you are doing in the level, which in my opinion helps a lot with the world building, I don't know if you just skipped those or what because I'm 95 percent sure that those are just in the base game. Good video👍

Hey I have some information. I have loved this game to absolute limits, I have gained 98/104 achievements and have 250+ hours on this game. At one point you were talking about the lack of lore, and fyi they wrote a whole book about the lore called “the rise of the arch illager ” and it goes into the lore in a story way yet also shows lore. Maybe if you want to get the DLC it is pretty fun. Just my opinion tho. Nice video!

my favorite thing about dungeons is how minecraftly it feels. if Mojang decided to add half this stuff (excluding the weapons and armor, they are the only real exceptions) I would not only be fine with it, but extremely hyped. me and many other people want the end wilds from mc dungeons, as well as many of the mobs (such as the iceologer and wildfire) in the base game. personally I also think the game could do with a biome similar to the howling peaks as well.

Love how the bullied ones are always portrayed as villains lol

They actually released a book called Rise of the Arch-Illager and it explains a lot and adds depth to the story

My personal Opinion is that Minecraft Dungeons has very good replayability if not for it being discontinued, being able to collect cool and awsome weapons that are unfamiliar is one of the main reasons i enjoyed it so much, it has a great progression system and i love the limited events such as the helloween and annaversary events the battle pass system was a bit over the top but it was understandable and tollerable.

One thing you didn't look at was weekly and daily trials, which might only be available in apocolyps mode and the tower, which is a 30 floor tower with a boss fight every 10. the difference from normal levels is that the mobs get 1-2 levels higher every floor and the only way to get items is at the end of every floor, where you can choose from a mix of 5 weapons, armors, bows, and enchant points. Also your character and the weapons they have are completely different from you normal character. doesn't completely change the game but still a fun adition. also its free

There is actually a secret level called "???"

Bought all the DLCs, cosmetics, skins, unlocked all the secondary maps, glitched my XP to 2981 lvls, completed all the achievements, got every existing cape, got +300 glitched equipment. And just in the very end of my experience in this game, I hacked it to get illegal stuff. I literally did everything I could do in this game. But yeah... it was a success as a game and deserved way more love than they put in it. Still love it

dungeons has so much potential, i remember i spent hundreds of hours grinding the best enchants for speedrunning gear and testing insane combos

It would be an 8/10 for me, but the geomancer exists so I have to give it a 6/10.

it would’ve been fairer if you had added in the dlcs because the ultimate edition which bundles all the dlcs is the exact same price as minecraft legends

The dlc does fix most of the issues u talked about the gameplay in all of them are a huge step up

dude i loved to play it with my dad and brother it was super fun it deserved way more love honestly

There is a book on this game from the pov of the arch iliger, it’s of course for younger audiences but it still explains a lot

One fo my favourite things about dungeons is all the things you can find if you look a little deeper

to add onto 2:33 when replaying through a level illager captains appear, picking up their banners affects the run in a random way such as 50% of mobs have thorns or 25% of melee mobs are replaced with zombies, or night mode (mobs that appear at night in minecraft will spawn around you meaning there are always things to fight) and then we have threat banners that increase the threat

Best Minecraft spinoff is Minecraft uno

minecraft dungeons had so many unique and fucking amazing ideas oh man why whyyyyy whyy isn't this in regular Minecraft I really wish we had more weapons and creative mod variations, sure Minecraft has a core identity and gameloop but pls make survival actually be survival and add some more adventure features I just cannot take it anymore

The game definitely needed more base game content and it would properly be remembered.

I noticed you mentioned that the game was procedurally generated, i wanted to point out that it actually isn't. instead each stage has i suppose "variants" where one stage may have anywhere from 3-5 ish different versions of it. i don't blame you for thinking this though as if you have only played under 10 hours then you most likely haven't repeated the stages enough to notice the patterns. its really only something you pick up on after dozens of hours grinding power lol.

All of the dlcs added up is a lot but for someone who played the game since the beginning and bought each on release (1 dlc about every 3 months) it actually adds a lot of free stuff for players with each update (eg raid captains) which kept the game fresh, it only really lost popularity when the tower released as it took so long and it was so little, also if you played default to the end you unlock adventure mode and apocalypse for adventure, which actually adds some extra items as well as changes some other things, there is also apocalypse+ which adds a good challenge as well as gives a lot of replay ability

My experience on the game was great and it was fun to play with my brother

Great video, i’ve returned to the game after a year and a half but the endgame time of the game can be quite fun but you have to be prepared to grind a bit

I loved minecraft dungeons. I spent hundreds of hours playing on the nintendo switch and I was playing while the game was getting at least a few updates which made it fun to check out a youtuber covering the balance changes and seeing that a weapon I like got a buff. I think them blocking so much content behind a pay wall is very sad because they had an amazing game in their hands and the saddest part is when they tried to introduce a battle pass to squeeze even a little bit of extra money out before abandoning it. I know the gameplay isn't for everyone because they have important stuff to do and commiting 20 mins+ (depending on where you are in the game) is a pretty big thing to ask when a lot of the time, it feels like you are getting the same 20 mins save for a few different items. I really enjoy the gameplay because it takes time to get something you're searching for and when you get the right thing, the reward is so fun. TLDR: gameplay good (imo), paywalls suck, not every game is for everyone.

as a huge dungeons fan, I can easily say that despite Dungeons being a little more fun in multiplayer, it is so annoying that if i am surrounded by mobs, I can't heal my friend and both end up dying

I have played so much my dungeons. It’s actually quite fun with a friend but if ur playing solo then there’s still stuff to do but there isn’t as much motivation I found

I want to point something out that completely justifies ALL the DLCs to be compared to Legends. Legends costs 39.99 USD (base game), and Dungeons Ultimate edition, which is every DLC, is 39.99. They sell a half ass game for the same for the ultimate edition, which I have played through the whole thing, which is like triple the base game in content, and is amazing to play and expands the story a ton. each mission is about 40 minutes, which is an amazing content expansion, all for the same price as legends. So its totally fair to compare from a price stand point.

god, this needs a sequel. maybe give it open multiplayer like some people here are saying but if we ever do get one we will need new enemies and possibly slightly enhanced combat

The game needs open coop so bad. And or arena multiplayer for people to fight in. Also, this game needs some serious balancing when it comes to enchanted mobs in the higher levels.

I dig the video bro keep up the good work !!

isn't there a cutsense at the start of every main mission?

Love the video, but theres is a lot of replay ability like: after you beat a stage there will be new raid captains that have special modifiers for better loot. Would also like to say that after you beat the game you meet new enemies in levels and can gain a lot more items. And again also there is a tower you should try out.

u should have seen the lategame builds where you can blow pass hundreds of mobs in a single roll

There is some plot to minecraft dungeons its just in the description of the levels

complains about not knowing the story: *skipped the intro (and probably the individual stage intros too)

I genuinely really like Dungeons. It's not the most incredible or in-depth dungeon crawler, but it's a tight, fun, well-built experience and it's great for introducing people to the genre - especially if they already like Minecraft. It's also a great couch co-op style game. I wish it had a few more choice features but it's a good game and is easily the best spinoff Mojang has made by a wide margin. I have the same main criticism of the game - I wish there was a bit more story and more cutscenes to make the arch-illager and other boss fights feel more impactful.

in my opinion Minecraft Dungeons is significantly better on controller than keyboard and mouse, and cant connect a controller on pc 😢

You need to play the dlc and also get the mushroom boss fight

Minecraft dungeons was a really good game and I played it for hours with my friends

They added a battle pass and cosmetics to what is essentially a single player game. Because who has friends that also owns this game? If they had just added online matchmaking and quickplay, that would have made this game last so much longer

I do a switch n swatch where I would have fireworks totem of healing shield totem a corrupted beacon a soul blade and the strongest armor

Totally agree. Dungeons is pretty good these days, and it sucks that there wasn't more done to it while it was active. But moreover, it sucks that the launch version was so much worse than it is now, that it sort of soured a lot of people's taste buds for the game's future development.

Do any of u guys know a game thats like Minecraft dungeuns but without all the flaws?

*I mean, the option for multiplayer is always this way. Some people just like plying by themselves, but others don't. What're you going to do about it, force players to play with you when they might not want to?

Just wondering did you ever read the book?

Great video man!

The game is still fun, you can always restart to get the same first experience too.

honestly ion care bout the spinoffs i just want them to make 1.16 quality updates to the main game again.

3:32 I think of the game FATE

Just so you know: if the sale is still on when you read this, The DLC IS worth it, but not the season passes

what about the tower, that wasnt behind a pay wall?

5:00 But there are intro cutscenes

As Mcd being my favorite game, I can not disagree.

I feel you missed all the cutscenes that happen before the stages

Awesome video i have just subscribe to your channel ❤

0:51 Oh, what's that song? I've heard it before, it's so familiar!

i like dungeons but this should have multi player and new map and new dungeon in it

For the most part, I agree with the points made in the video

this game is so funnnnnn

You should try pokemon mystery dungeon: explorers of sky

Earth was completely abandoned

ngl minecraft dungeons is my second favorite game, only beaten by HK lol

This is sad because Minecraft dungeons was one of my fav games

I think the main problem is Mojang poured all their most creative ideas, enemies, and environments into a terrible pay to win spinoff and meanwhile regular minecraft is stuck with the yearly red crack cow and stupid wind hammer

Does anyone still play dungeons? Need people to play it with

I played the HELL out of dungeons

It’s their best game in my opinion

Mc legends would be good if it was single player pvp, also dungeons is one of the best party games I have on my switch, anyone can pick up and play, so i'd call that a success

I am going to play the game soon and this gives me some insight, also one thing they should have done is you collect materials from the dugeons to build a custom house.

At minute 3:32, EXACTLY

ill PayPal you $10 just so you can see how good the rest of the game is deadass

There is a version that costs 60 dollars that comes with all the dlc and you should be thankful that there is a cheaper version out there

Personally I really liked dungeons it just stoppped updating tho

Do minecraft earth

I thought legends was neat but I never did care about it as much as minecraft story mode

What about story mode

Nah I fw dungeons HEAVY

In my opinion on a controller it seems more comfy

0:49 no fucking way you used this song 😭

minecraft story mode 9:07

wdym it's the only 'extra'-part that I have heard a lot of good reviews besides realms. don't actually have heard any realm supporters

bro I play dungeons and I am lvl like 39 and I have 50 power

Almost nothing about Mojang's games, including Minecraft, is polished

bleeep

Legends is insulting. its not minecraft or anything. just - insulting to gaming as a whole

Bro forgot about adventure and apocalypse

Unpopular opinion: Minecraft Dungeons is an entirely complete game without any DLC. There are more than enough maps in the base game to have variety while playing all the way to level 250

OMG THE TITLE, HOLY SHIT HE SAID THE THING

Its better than minecraft klegend by like 100times

Honestly legends is the worse minecraft spin off game since dungeon issss perfecccttt

I have got much fun from this game despite i hear about how horrible game is.

How about MoJang work on a great spinoff game then a game that’s trash

Sadly this game is underrated. Baby Diablo had so much potential, but Mojang kinda smothered it in its crib by just being a teensy bit stingy with mechanics and content, especially at launch.
