Dungeon Fighter Online Review

Dungeon Fighter Online is a fighting game made in South Korea. It is played as a 2D side-scrolling game much like the old action games released back in the 1990s. That is to say, you can only walk from left to right while you go around beating people up along the way. If anyone has played the likes of Double Dragon and Capcom's Final Fight series, you can expect the same type of simplistic style of gameplay here in Dungeon Fighter Online.

There are different characters for you to choose from and all of them are designed in the traditional Japanese-style anime appearance. There's one guy from the bunch who is a "Slayer". He wields a huge sword and has long white spiky hair. If anyone has played the Devil May Cry series his character design is heavily inspired by Dante. The next character is a "Fighter". The "Fighter" is a sexy brunette girl who uses her fists and legs for combat. She will remind gamers of Final Fantasy VII's Tifa due to their similar styles of combat. The last class you can choose is the "Female Gunner". "Female Gunner" is a young blonde girl who arms herself with two pistols. There are four other basics classes that you can choose from too with each of them having different skill sets. The further you play the game and level-up, the more skills and class upgrades you can unlock.

Once you have chosen a character, you're all good to go to beat up bad guys. Almost immediately you are thrust into the game and you have to fight your way onto the next area against a pack of goblins. There isn't any long boring tutorial that you will have to play through as the game's controls are fairly easy to master and any gamer will be hooked the moment they start playing Dungeon Fighter Online.

All you have to do is use the directional buttons to move, "C" to jump and "X" to attack. Other buttons on your keyboard corresponds to different attacks that you can execute. The combat system is deeper than I expected. The variety of attacks that are available in Dungeon Fighter Online keeps the gameplay refreshing without being too boring or repetitive. The one thing that stops most beat-em-up games being so popular is because of their hard difficulty and/or repetitive nature. Thankfully, Dungeon Fighter Online doesn't suffer from any of these inadequacies and I'm sure most players will have a fun time playing the game.

Combat is what makes Dungeon Fighter Online better than all of its main rivals in the beat-em-up genre. It plays like a fighting game as you have several different moves you can execute and you can even punch at enemies while they are still in the air. Not only that, but there are some RPG-type gameplay elements in this game too that is rarely seen in other games from this genre. You can visit towns to buy more health, weapons and other items that may help you on your journey.

Although the structure of the game itself it quite linear, the game's presentation is what makes it very fun to play. The music is dramatic without being too clichéd and the graphics are amazing. The 2D style of visuals suits this game perfectly and the enemies in the game are detailed and well illustrated. The background design is also very colorful. Most recent games have been set in dark depressing areas so it's good to see this game breaking from this current trend and keeping thing bright. Apart from the main single player mode, you can also meet other players in the game's "Arena" mode. It is here where you can both meet and fight other players from around the world that is currently playing the game. According to Wikipedia, 300 million registered users have played Dungeon Fighter Online. With numbers this big, you will always know that there is at least someone out there that you can challenge to a fight.

The one thing that might deter most gamers is its limited availability. The English version of Dungeon Fighter Online is only available to download for gamers living in U.S.A and Canada. If you don't live in either of those countries, you won't be able to play and download the full game. Thankfully, there's a demo version that is available for everyone to play. Let's hope they make the game available for everyone in the near future. Dungeon Fighter Online is without a doubt, a high-quality video game. It's even better than games I've played that you even have to pay full retail price for. The 2D graphics are great and the gameplay is even better. If you live in North America, do yourself a favor and download Dungeon Fighter Online now. It's sure to provide you with hours of free entertainment.
