Minecraft Dungeons Arcade is an arcade variant of Minecraft Dungeons announced on March 5th, 2021.[1][2] It is being developed by Mojang Studios in conjunction with Play Mechanix.
Gameplay
Like Minecraft Dungeons, this game supports up to four players and features various weapons, armors, skins, and mobs.[3] This game is similar to Minecraft Dungeons, in that players explore various locations and defeat various hostile mobs, but the game uses a side-on perspective instead of an isometric perspective as in the main game. The player will also be able to use physical collectible cards obtained after completing a game to select their gear as well as a pet and a skin. There appears to be some exclusive mobs such as the Obsidian Monstrosity, the Mage, and multiple armored variants of various undead mobs, like armored variants of the Jungle Zombie and the Frozen Zombie.
Appearance
The arcade cabinet.
The game has a big flat screen outlined with what looks like Fire or lava, right below that is a part that displays 5 cards in front of a orange background with the Play Mechanix logo on its right. The top of the cabinet has the logo for Minecraft Dungeons Arcade with four Minecraft Dungeons characters above it. The console has four control panels (up to 4 players can play at once) displaying characters right above each one. Each panel is colored indicating the player, Player 1 is blue, Player 2 is red, Player 3 is green, And Player 4 is yellow. Below the console is were the cards are ejected from the system, you may scan these cards after each round to play as a desired character, to equip a desired item or to receive a desired pet.
