![]() ![]() ![]() Minecraft Legends' probably skews toward more casual RTS fans, but that's not to say it doesn't walk that balanced line sometimes. Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is a good example of the former, while Civilization 6 really finds its home in the hardcore fanbase. Some strategy games struggle to find a balance between casual or hardcore RTS fans, while some cater to one side or the other. There are ways, for example, to turn wooden Walls to stone, have the Arrow Towers shoot exploding arrows at further distances, and otherwise create a certain synergy with other strategies. But over time, players are introduced to ways to enhance these structures. There are simple defenses like Walls and Arrow Towers that players can build, all the way up to a powerful Redstone Launcher. When defending against Piglins and other enemies (or players, in the case of Minecraft Legends' PVP), building structures can go a long way. Other Mobs we used throughout our gameplay included Mossy Golems, which are healers Grindstone Golems, which are bigger, stronger mobs similar to Cobblestone Golems and a few others during PVP. Alongside structures like Arrow Towers, Plank Golems excel in defending other mobs and the player from harm. Players start with two: Cobblestone Golems which excel at damaging structures and Plank Golems which are effectively ranged defenses. Players cannot directly damage enemy structures themselves with the sword, meaning selecting the right mob is important. For example, using one's Diamond Sword to attack is useful in protecting a player's own mobs, clearing out enemies as mobs work to dismantle structures. What players will quickly learn in the moment-to-moment gameplay is how to lead their mobs, which mobs are the most effective, and when to put their leader into the match. To take out Piglin Outposts, we had to use our Minecraft Legends mobs to destroy their structures like Piglin Pits and Blaze Rod Tower Outposts, break through Gated Outposts, and pillage other defenses like Nether Spreader. In these missions, we attacked Piglins that had already attacked a village and defend the central well of another village from waves of Piglins. ![]() It did showcase a nice variety in tactics and strategies though, with Mojang devs telling us that they get much more complex the further players go in the story. It was the first hour of the campaign, as well as the tutorial, so nothing here was really challenging.

During a recent preview event, Game Rant was able to play about two hours of Minecraft Legends, including an hour of the campaign and a little less than that in PVP. In it, the Minecraft universe is being invaded by Piglins from the Nether, with the player utilizing their building powers, mobs, and various allies to protect the Overworld. Minecraft Legends pairs the beloved blocky graphics, procedural generation, and crafting elements with core action and RTS gameplay. When Minecraft Legends releases next month, it could easily be the exception to that rule though. Unfortunately, most of these spin-offs have paled in comparison to the original, and only Minecraft Dungeons is currently available. That success has led to a few spin-offs like Minecraft: Story Mode, Minecraft Earth, Minecraft Dungeons, and the upcoming Minecraft Legends, all while providing support, new updates, and more to the core game. Minecraft can perhaps be best described as a juggernaut in the industry, pulling in hundreds of millions of players every year. ![]()
