Minecraft Trial lets you try the popular game on an Android device. It saves you from spending money on a game that you will never play, which is something that you probably did in the past. While the trial doesn't give you access to all of the features of the full game, it includes more than enough to see if Minecraft is worth the full price. You can try the different modes and learn the basics of the full game through the free trial.

As a sandbox game, Minecraft puts you in a 3D world filled with blocky characters and matching components. You start in a world with some pieces already built and others that you need to create. The game asks you to mine for blocks and find materials that you use to construct buildings. While you can create a home and other buildings, you will also use those materials to create weapons. You never know when a monster might pop out of the wilderness to attack you. Those weapons also protect you from other hazards inside the game.

Minecraft Trial lets you choose between two modes. One is the game's survival mode. You need to start with a building that protects you from hazards. At the same time, you need to mine for materials that help you create weapons. If you spend too much time on your shelter, you risk a monster attacking you. Those who spend too much time crafting weapons can die due to the elements. While the trial lets you play in survival mode, it kicks you out after 90 minutes. You might find that this isn't enough time to construct a weapon or finish your shelter.

Creativity mode is the second mode that you can choose, which lets your creativity shine. Instead of focusing on what the game tells you that you need, you can have fun building and designing. This mode also lets you play without worrying about monsters around every corner. You can play as long as you want and do anything in this mode. It lets you listen to the Minecraft soundtrack and explore a virtual world but does not let you play against others or check out the game's servers.

Most of the problems with Minecraft Trial deal with the fact that it is only a trial and not a full version of the game. You can only download and use it once per Android device. It limits what you can do and only lets you play in survival mode for 90 minutes. If you have an older Android device, you may find that the game is sluggish and that it takes time to load. Though Minecraft is a popular game, it's not one that everyone loves. You might want to avoid paying the high price tag because you don't know if you'll play it. Minecraft Trial gives you an introduction to the game that you can try for free.
