	<p>This version of Minecraft veers away from their usual first-person style adventures.</p> 

<p>Like its many universes is an ever-growing franchise and it looks like they're expanding into a deeper focus of RPG elements now too, taking notes from classics like the Diablo series. It’s still embracing that charming voxel-based aesthetic, however, this game dons the familiar isometric perspective, immersing players fully into the dungeon-crawling we loved and still love today.</p>

Coming a long way since 1998, this fan-funded project wasn’t an easy task. The party-based RPG is stepping up their game with asynchronous multiplayer, solid single-player experience, and strategic turn-based gameplay.</p>
