In this article, we will talk about the game's story, gameplay, and everything you need to know!

Let's start with the basics:

What is Minecraft Legends?

Minecraft Legends is a third-person strategy and action game that includes elements of RTS (real-time strategy) such as troop or unit management. The game features exploration, base building, and a Tower Defense system. Although the game may seem complicated, once you're in the game, it will only take you a short hour to understand the mechanics and adapt. Minecraft Legends is a good first experience for players who are not familiar with this genre of games.

The tutorial will get you up to speed and explain the different game mechanics at your own pace. After the Piglins invade the world, the villagers call for your help, which you will provide using mounts, swords, and constructions. You will face hordes of monsters and sometimes powerful bosses straight from the Nether.

What you need to know before playing

Minecraft Legends is a PvE (Player versus Environment) game, meaning you play against the environment, but it can include combat against or with other players online. The game has Crossplay functionality, so you can play with anyone regardless of their platform, up to 4 players simultaneously.

The game has an in-game store with microtransactions where you can obtain character skins, texture packs, and mount skins. No gameplay advantages can be obtained using real money, only cosmetics. According to the developers, DLCs are planned in the future to add content to Minecraft Legends.

The Campaign of Minecraft Legends

The main activities you will do are: facing the Piglins, defending the villagers, and attacking enemy bases. Of course, the game doesn't stop there, as Minecraft is still the title of the game, and you can gather resources to build ever more impressive villages.

Gathering resources in Minecraft Legends

This time, you won't need a pickaxe, but Allays, fairy-like creatures that will automatically collect materials for you. They will also build for you and have a limited number that you can use at the same time.

Available troops

Here are the different troops you can use in Minecraft Legends:

Golems: Low-cost troops created from wood or stone that can melee, ranged attack, or heal.

Allies: Powerful monster troops like Creepers, Skeletons, or Zombies. They all have their own abilities, with Creepers being very effective against groups of enemies and structures.

The Firsts: Extremely powerful but expensive golems that can generate force fields, summon troops, or send massive rocks at enemy bases.
