Delving deep into a point in Minecraft history that has yet to be explored, Minecraft Legends sees the Overworld coming under attack.

A simple game exploring a world isn’t as simple as it first appears. This combat game requires strategic thinking and the ability to PVP, you must build your defenses and survive. A much more fast-paced game than the usually relaxed vibe that is Minecraft.
