Minecraft news » Minecraft Story Mode: Do You Enjoy It?

Story Mode has been out for a bit now, and has been well received by players! With a solid stable of celebrity voice-actors, and the strong storytelling background of Telltale Games, it holds its own with a fairly clever story, and interesting gameplay elements.

Minecraft: Story Mode is an episodic interactive comedy-drama point-and-click graphic adventure video game similar to Telltale's other games, released as a number of episodes. The player collects items, solves puzzles, and talks to non-player characters though conversation trees to learn about the story and determine what to do next. Like other Telltale Games, decisions that the player makes will impact events in the current and later episodes.

Unlike Telltale's previous games that tend to carry more mature or emotional overtones including the death of major characters, Minecraft: Story Mode is aimed as a family-friendly title, so the decisions will still be pivotal and emotional but will not involve mature imagery or themes. Elements of crafting and building, central to Minecraft, are included in the gameplay, following a similar approach. The game features combat and other action sequences, carried out through both quick time events similar to Telltale's other episodic games, and more arcade-like controls, such as steering around debris on a road.
