Minecraft Dungeons is a popular spin-off game from the hit Minecraft franchise. Instead of being a world-building game, it’s a dungeon crawler, but set in the same universe.
The game shares the same graphic style of the main saga. However, the camera now switches to a top view instead of a first person view.
Throughout the world of Dungeons, you’ll find multiple levels filled with treasures to find and enemies to defeat. You can play both solo and multiplayer with up to 4 people.
That said, Minecraft Dungeons players are currently experiencing a connection issue where they receive a “service is currently unavailable” error message when trying to start a multiplayer game.
