Minecraft Dungeons is an action-adventure game that takes place in the Minecraft universe. You explore various dungeons to complete missions and collect new gear by exploring and finding treasure chests, or by defeating enemies. It stands out for combining the Minecraft world with a more exuberant and challenging action-oriented experience.

It offers a cooperative experience for up to four players. The variety in gear enables players to each have a unique purpose within the group. One player may be good at defeating enemies quickly, while another player can make the enemies weaker. When each person has a role within the group it encourages sharing gear so that the team may be the best it can be.
As you progress you advance your party. The gear you collect along the way can be used to defeat enemies who are stronger and take on the more challenging dungeons. This in turn rewards you with even better equipment.
The result is a game that focuses on brawling button-mashing combat but with an eye on strategy and cooperation. In a family, it's a great game to play together as you work through the hoards of enemies and steal their treasure.
