Lego Minifigures Online
Lego Minifigures Online is Diablo with Legos

Collect them all
The Lego games have embraced a myriad of worlds--from Batman to Harry Potter to the Lord of the Rings. But in the upcoming title Lego Minifigures Online, your Lego characters will explore the Lego universe in a Diablo-esque, isometric view, action RPG form. Yes, you’ll gather loot, level up characters, and explore a variety of Lego playset-inspired worlds. But the real addiction settles in as soon as you start picking up new minifigures
Players won't actually gather loot like armor, weapons, and spells in the traditional sense. Instead, enemy drops often come in the form of an entirely new Lego Minifigure character, which can be added to your crew of three characters that you can swap in and out of the action. Each little guy has unique powers and abilities which will increase in potency as you level them up. The judge rains down law books as an area of effect spell, Caesar calls on Roman soldiers to fight by his side, and the DJ throws vinyl records for his ranged attack.
Just like other licensed Lego games, you'll need to break everything you see in the environment to gather the game's blocky currency, build Lego contraptions, and work with your co-op buddies to overcome the giant, plastic bosses. The most convenient thing about the game is that everything is online, allowing crossplay between PCs and tablets so you can basically play from anywhere at any time.

I like the look and idea of this. I hope it's not a Free-to-Play kind of thing; then ask for cash for super secret bonus characters or areas. Is there a reason it won't be available on consoles? The Lego games have been great on any console in the past and present. -

I was just worried they would exploit things, like Trollkitten hints at. Spoon feed people a few characters and then ask for money to unlock others, which may be needed to access certain areas. I don't think we need another Skylanders or Infinity pushing stuff to my kids. I am sure F2P can be fine when full thinking adults and teens, who are in charge of their money, make smart decisions. But kids don't really have that money sense, especially when Lego is concerned. -

What I think the best "free-to-play" model might be for a game like this is to have unique codes in each real-life minifigure pack sold in stores, codes that, when entered, unlock bonus content or perhaps points similar to those of the old Kanoka Club Bionicle had during the Metru Nui storyline (which me and my siblings were SO into, we'd actually put masking tape over the codes on our disks because we thought that letting our siblings use them would be "cheating" -- and yes, fights broke out over that, and I'm not proud of it). Perhaps if each individual minifigure had its own unique code algorithm, LEGO could make it so that buying, say, a Viking Woman would allow you to unlock a playable Viking Woman in-game, no fancy-schmancy Skylanders Infinity Rumble U technology required. Granted, what I'd REALLY like is to mix and match pieces of minifigures to create my own, strangely powered character... and who knows, maybe they WILL include this in-game. Perhaps a "physical DLC" model like the one I've mentioned above would unlock different "parts" to fit together whoever your weird and possibly cross-gendered minifigure might be... hec, that would bring me right back to ye olde younger days when I'd sneak into my brother's room and swap the heads on all his minifigures (it drove him up the wall, and I'm sorry I did that to him, but I do concur that it was fun). -

Personally, I wouldn't mind if it was free-to-play, simply because that would mean that I could choose how much money I wanted to invest in it. What I WOULD mind is if it was EXPLOITATIVE free-to-play; that's never fun for anyone's wallet. The bigger issue to me is platform: my computer isn't really up to snuff for 3D mass multiplayer gaming. Still, this sounds awesome (cue movie soundtrack). I've wanted to join an MMO for a while now, but haven't been able to choose one... the closest thing I've ever had was Petpet Park (shudder), which I quit after it CLAIMED my account was frozen for saying the word "password" but didn't actually freeze me... coincidentally, I happened to have a paid subscription at that time, which, all put together, is all kinds of wrong, though I don't know exactly where. -
