Analysis of Minecraft Legends – The hero becomes a legend

Mojang continues to expand the Minecraft franchise with a new playable proposition.

Minecraftthis gigantic franchise that seems to never stop selling, has again plunged into another new genre after the success of the rogue-lite available on Xbox Game Pass, Minecraft Dungeons. Developed in collaboration with Mojang and Blackbird InteractiveMinecraft Legends is an action-oriented real-time strategy game that This is also Xbox Game Pass.

The hero who saves the world

Los Piglin they are tired of living in underworld and they settledon the surface with a large army. The three guardian spirits, Action, knowledge and foresightthey watch in dismay as their kingdom is invaded and corrupted, so they decide to recruit a hero, that we will embody. With him Lute of the Gathering, Flame of Creation and Banner of Courage, you will have to build and command an army to defeat your new enemies. The plot is quite interesting at first, but it degrades as you progress through the game and eventually becomes a mere pretext to move forward.

Real-time strategy with a touch of tower defense

With a fun and comprehensive tutorialyou’ll soon master the controls and gameplay. The game is based on real-time strategy and a Tower Defense style. Lute will send Allayfairy-like characters, to collect resources and build structures (something like the Pikmin from the Nintendo game). The flame of creation he’ll give you blueprints for structures like turrets or generators for your allies and, more importantly, new friends to help you along the way. The Banner of Courage it will direct your allies towards you or in the direction you want them to go.

The mapAlthough it is not huge, it is very detailed, with villages that you must protect with turrets and protective structures, and the Piglin camps that need to be demolished with the help of your allies. There is also a wide variety of enemies, with varying degrees of difficulty. The best is without a doubt be able to team up with Creepers or Zombies that before they were your enemies for a common cause. In the Well of Destiny, you will have access to songs and “Torres de Mejora” guardian spirits that will give you buffs, such as access to more resources, storage, allies, energy towers, and more.

Most of this is related to the campaign, which also supports online co-op modebut there are also many additional features that will keep you entertained. vs mode allows you to organize or join a 4v4 game in which your team must protect their home base from the opposing team. To do this, you must accumulate resources and defenses while attacking the enemy. Unfortunately, due to pre-launch access, I queued several times for an hour and couldn’t find anyone to try out this mode with.

Lost legends and myths is a mode where you can download free and possibly paid challenges to test your skills and earn items. There is also an in-game store to buy skins in typical Mojang fashion, but these are just nice additions and not a necessary part of the game.

Graphic and sound section in height

The graphic part immediately catches the eye, very Minecraft, yes, but with a high level finish. Rays of light shoot through clouds, water ripples and glows, and embers fall into the sky as you pass through burning areas. At first glance, it may seem like the same thing to have such a characteristic Minecraft aesthetic, but the environments and NPCs have many details to highlight. The cutscenes are also top notch.cinematic quality, and very well done.

He The Spanish dub is also impressivewith a cast of top-notch voice actors who will seem familiar to us from many other products, helping us to fully immerse ourselves in this world.

conclusion

Mojang knows that Minecraft itself it’s a winning product. However, while the concept splits into different genres, Minecraft Legends showcases the true skill and passion behind these projects so different from the main franchise. We’ll see how they keep the game fresh with additional content in the future.
