The success of this game is based on its overall simplicity but, at the same time, offering an infinite world of possibilities. We are talking about Minecraft, a game that is already historic and that continues to be a top seller. If there is something that is characteristic of this game, it is the mods, well, Minecraft just received a new package of downloadable content that makes it the Tetris.
Two of the most important video games in history come together in this mod. Tetris, in case you didn’t know, was created by Alexei Pazhitnov when he was working at the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union.
We are talking about one of the most curious games in history. The first is that all the elements of the game are made up of 4 cubes. In addition, this was the game that came with all Nintendo Game Boy consoles. If that’s not enough, it is the most adapted game in history.
Minecraft receives a mod to play Tetris
You should know that they haven’t just added Tetris to Minecraft. Mojang (Minecraft’s development studio now owned by Microsoft) wanted to take the experience even further.
The post on Mojang’s blog explains that this isn’t just a version of the conventional 2D Tetris game. They point out that things will get weird later on. It states that within the mod the so-called Tetriminos will be stolen by the evil Tetrimonster.
So, we’ll be involved in an epic adventure to restore all forms of Tetrimino. The mission forces us to enter a randomly generated 3D dungeon based on the form of the 2D Tetris game you were playing before starting the adventure. It’s a real madness that promises to be extremely fun.
They’ve made sure that the experience varies every time and that every decision we make affects the outcome. Thus, every Tetrimino we use, the paths we take or the lines we clear will generate new traps, loot and surprises. We’ll have to solve puzzles, search for objects and fight monsters as we make our way through. A complex mission full of dungeons and secrets that are generated randomly.
We can play this Tetris DLC for Minecraft alone, but it also has a multiplayer mode. We have the option to embark on this adventure with our friends and thus make the experience richer and more fun.
In addition to this adventure, the new DLC allows us to play a conventional game of Tetris. The new package includes the conventional Marathon, Sprint and Ultra modes. Playing these “mini-games” within the game even gives us access to different trophies that we will earn while playing a conventional game of Tetris.
You can find this mod for Minecraft in the official Marketplace within the game. The only drawback of this mod is that it is not free, it has a price of 1,510 coins, which is equivalent to about 9 euros. In other words, we will have to pay to enjoy this additional content, although the truth is, it makes us want to try it and enjoy a unique and quite different experience.
