We saw the first gameplay demo for Minecraft Legends at Gamescom, which feels like a perfect mash-up of Minecraft and Pikmin.

Well over a decade into its life span, Minecraft keeps surprising me. Just when I thought I’d seen everything the franchise has to offer, Mojang keeps finding ways to deconstruct it brick by brick. The latest example of that comes in the form of Minecraft Legends, which looks to build a strategy game out of the series’ pieces.

That setup gives its gameplay a unique twist. Minecraft Legends is a hero-centered strategy game, which means players control the main character rather than simply interacting via a cursor. In the demo I saw, a player loaded into the world, mounted a horse, and began exploring a vast, blocky environment. While the hero can perform a basic slash attack, their main skill is the ability to command forces.

That’s where the Pikmin comparison really hit me. As soon as he entered the fortress, the hero began commanding units to focus on breaking down key towers. When they were done, he’d call them back in and assign them new jobs. In motion, it looks just like Captain Olimar flinging his plant friends around and whistling them back at a moment’s notice.
