New Year’s Celebration: Grave Danger

Published: January 11, 2022 - View official source

Picture this. You’re standing atop your beautiful castle and you see a shimmer in the distance. Is it zombies? Is it undead hounds? Is it a gigantic, terrifying plushie with nails in its arm? In Grave Danger by Shapescape for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition*, the answer is: it’s all of them. And they’re coming for you.

In this action-packed adventure, the fate of your castle rests in your hands! Build your defenses, protect your tower, and defeat waves of fantastical creatures with your trusty dragon at your side! I could tell you more, but I’m going to let the awesome people at Shapescape take this one, seeing as they’re the masterminds (and master builders) behind this awesome map:

Believe me, being able to run screaming into a hoard of shuffling zombies with your dragon at your side and give them a big thwack with your sword definitely feels courageous and knight-worthy. As does donning your magical weapons, unlocking over 20 traps, and blowing your enemies away (sometimes literally) with your imaginative defenses.

My experience of tower defense games usually involves me watching hordes of enemies overrun my base. But not this time! Now I am a knight. I have a dragon. And I have a plan. (Okay, the last part was a lie, but I plan to have a plan by the end of this article). If, like me, the thought of testing your wiles against the undead makes your hearts flash before your eyes, then fear not. For your benefit and your benefit alone (ahem) I asked Shapescape for a plan some tips:

You can say that again, Shapescape. I’ve never been so terrified of dogs in my life (possibly because these dogs are undead. And they have glowing eyes.) 

Finally, if creating a map as awesome and adventure packed as Shapescape’s Grave Dangers gives you the same thrill as fleeing fighting a pack of bees (don’t say I didn’t warn you) then they also have some advice just for you:

What are you waiting for? Download Grave Danger by Shapescape, grab your sword, your dragon, and your imagination and get ready to put your defenses to the test! I’ll see you on the other side of the hordes, brave warriors.
