Overclockers UK Game of the month
Throughout 2020 we will be introducing you to an array of new releases but instead of reviews, we have opted to do something a little different. Each month we will be taking a closer look at the system requirements of the respective game and introducing you to suitable systems and relevant hardware.
Minecraft Dungeons – the game highlight of May?
Minecraft Dungeons is the latest standalone Minecraft game from Mojang and Xbox Game Studios. Unlike the traditional Minecraft we all know and love, Minecraft Dungeons has no building or crafting. Instead, Dungeons is inspired by the classic dungeon crawler/fantasy roleplay games but set in the Minecraft universe. Players can explore randomly-generated dungeons filled to the brim with monsters, weapons, traps, puzzles, and treasure. What more could you want?
The Story So Far…
The tale follows the antagonist – the Arch Illanger who was exiled by his local community. Seeking acceptance, he goes on a journey to find a new home but is only greeted by hatred. Walking blindly and slowly consumed by rage, he stumbles across ‘The Orb of Dominance’.
Driven by vengeance he begins his march across the world, decimating villages and taking villagers captive.
Who can stand against the Arch Illanger reign of terror? This is where your story begins…
