About the game
This is a dungeon crawler in the Minecraft world. You fight through levels full of mobs, open chests and pick up weapons, armor and artifacts. The digging and building are gone. Every level has a new layout each time you play it, and a boss waits at the end.
Up to four players can play together, on one device or online, and friends on other platforms can join. There are no classes. Your gear decides how you fight, so one of you can soak up hits in heavy armor while another stays back with a bow. Local players share one screen that zooms out to fit everyone.
It is easy to pick up and forgiving, so it suits families and newcomers. The story is thin. The fun is in the loot, and in replaying missions on harder settings.
