How is Minecraft Dungeons? (lemmy.world)

Been waiting for it to go on sale and figured my son might like it since he plays Minecraft a lot. Wondering if I gotta watch out for in-game purchases though (can I require password for purchases?) and online interactions (def don't want him chatting with others). It is seems pretty hack and slash but if a lot of reading is involved maybe he's too young for it (6 ½).

Edit: Sorry, meant to say Dungeons, not Legends.

I haven't played Minecraft Legends, but I have played Minecraft Dungeons (and the original Minecraft), if they have followed the same formula, then there shouldn't be much text in it. And there will be in-game purchases.

You can watch some let's play of the game on YouTube, to get some idea of what's in the game.

Hehe, no worries. So, about text:

It's a dungeon crawler, where you constantly get new loot, and each item has description, and the powerup that it gives, plus it's stats. But in general, you can just compare the number and go with bigger is better.

The story is pretty much all voice acted, as far as I remember, so that shouldn't be an issue.

As for in-game purchases, you have to go to "Mission Select" screen, which shows you the whole map and you can choose where to go. Here, they also show you the DLC dungeons, and going on those give you an option to buy the DLC.

Also, when in your camp, after first few missions, you get option to subscribe to the season, kind of like Battle pass in fortnite.

Other than that, I don't recall any purchase options, but it has been quite a while since I last played it.
