Neither issue is game-breaking, though, and will probably be fixed sooner rather than later. Thankfully you don't lose any loot when this occurs, and the client does have an instant "Reconnect" button if you're playing with friends, but it's a little bit annoying how frequently this occurred. This might be more of an issue with the Microsoft Store "Modern Apps" APIs, since running it in a regular window or in fullscreen mode doesn't cause the issue.Īdditionally, the game seems to have a bug where you get occasionally disconnected when completing a mission from an online session. Running the game in a borderless fullscreen window mode seems to upset Desktop Window Manager (dwm.exe), introducing strange CPU and GPU spikes. Performance-wise Minecraft Dungeons is typically solid, but I did encounter a few issues during my time through the review period that I hope gets fixed before launch on May 26. That's its gameplay, which we'll get to in a minute. I honestly wish there was a bit more of it, but Mojang was upfront about the fact story really isn't Minecraft Dungeons' focus. The plot is light-hearted and is geared towards youngsters, but what's there is entertaining enough in that typical Minecraft style. Intent on getting revenge against regular villagers who cast him aside, your adventure mainly hinges on dismantling the Arch-Illager's war machines, supply lines, and ultimately, the Arch-Illager himself. The evil "Arch-Illager" claimed an artifact of immense power, granting him broad magical powers. The soundtrack weaves in nicely with the game's story beats too, which, while few in number, are quite charming and entertaining when you do encounter them. During more dire battles, the intensity of the music ramps up to match, with a broad and varied score that is truly one of 2020's greats. The music especially is a big point of praise in Minecraft Dungeons, with each area, boss, and mini-boss getting a unique and dynamic theme.
Thought the Endermen were creepy in regular Minecraft? Dungeons takes it to a new level. Mobs like the Endermen also come with screen-distorting spell effects, complete with intense and dynamic combat music to match. The Corrupted Cauldron boss was a particular favorite, spewing Slime mobs across the whole area while expelling plumes of purple fire in melee range. I don't want to spoil too much, but some of the boss battles are quite large with complex mechanics and visuals to match. Some of the more evocative visuals come from the game's bosses and mini-bosses.

The Desert Temple level is crammed with traps, winding corridors, and sandy Husks, and the Soggy Swamp is the ideal locale for swarms of giant slimes trying to ingest your juicy flesh. The game has a wide variety of biomes to choose from as you progress and unlock the game's levels. Shimmering Redstone crystals dot the walls, while minecarts weave around threatening to knock you over, all while waves upon waves of Skeletons and Creepers try to hunt you down. While Minecraft Dungeons isn't rocking ray-tracing or anything on that sort of level, it does have some impressive lighting effects and moody atmospherics, which really come into their own in some of the game's cavernous dungeons like the claustrophobic Redstone Mines.
