More about Minecraft Dungeons

Steam's global achievement data puts 23 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 18. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 36 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written April 2026 to October 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 8 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 2,872 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 382 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 63 percent of the 1,370 reviews written there were positive, against 90 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

5.6 hours to finish it, 36 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 6.4 times the campaign.

What players say

I play this with my 7-year-old daughter to teach her about persistence and teamwork. It's helped immensely with her fear of failure. It teaches how to fail, reassess, and try again with a better strategy, or be patient and work towards new gear.

It's hard to find the proper words to describe how much I enjoyed this game throughout its lifespan. I played every main and DLC level, did numerous Tower runs, got every achievement, and through it all had the same friends to do it with me. Minecraft Dungeons is an interesting and engaging solo experience that encourages experimenting and finding that perfect build to carry you to victory, but what makes it really...

A fun short dungeon crawler, the genre is not for me but Mojang and Double Eleven did a good job. The addition to the Minecraft worldbuilding is the best part of this game for me.
