Minecraft Dungeons: Ultimate Edition, Nintendo Switch, 045496598105

My kids are huge Minecraft fans, so we got this for Christmas. The game is a top-down fighting game, very similar to the arcade Gauntlet series. The game offers 4 player cooperative local multiplayer. It's fun, and the controls are easy enough for even my youngest to participate. The screen does get chaotic however, and it can be easy to lose where your character is. The game is pretty lenient with defeat, and it has scaling difficulties if you want more challenge. It can get a bit repetitive, but it's still fun. You enter a level, fight a bunch of mobs, gain loot (that you hope is better than what you have), and save villagers. Rinse and repeat to level up and get better gear. Unlike the main Minecraft game, there isn't any building or mining element. You slash with swords (or axes), shoot with various bows, and use enchanted artifacts that contain various spells. For the price and inclusion of all DLC, I'm very happy with this purchase. My kids enjoy their gift as well.
