Minecraft Dungeons might just be the most fun iteration in the larger Minecraft universe and is one of the most inventive titles in the franchise.

Mojang have been able to stay on their toes by coming up with interesting projects around the Minecraft brand name.

Dungeons is perhaps the most distinct of all the titles under the Minecraft umbrella as it breaks far away from the standard Minecraft formula to deliver a uniquely fresh experience.

Minecraft: Dungeons, first and foremost, is an action/adventure dungeon crawler, breaking away from the survival/sandbox experience. The game is available on a variety of platforms, including Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and Windows.
