At first it'll be pretty interesting and fun, though after awhile it starts getting dull, doing the same moves and dungeons over and over. though the game tries to trick you into thinking there's alot of variety with the all the different subclasses and there is, to an extent. There are four subclasses per character (excluding thief male mage which only have 2) but once you pick a subclass, you're that subclass and nothing else, there are no separate ''skill trees'' to choose from or anything like that. And there really isn't a ton of moves/skills either, I'd say only around 2 or 3 per every five levels which really isn't much and there is a ton of room for variety besides just choosing which skills to max out. Though the game can also be fun, it gets boring very fast playing alone so you better make sure you have someone to play with. This game isn't quite as grindy as other MMOs but the bad thing is that once you hit level 70, you're done, there's nothing else to do (except pvp or making a new character) because you've hit the level cap. I've made tons of new characters to try out other classes or simply because I became bored with the class I was using before. There are also avatars in the game which actually change your characters appearance but these require millions of gold and it's frustrating when the market goes from selling avatars at 1m-2m to 2m-10. You also may have a very hard time picking decent looking avatars (though I mean this mainly for female fighter since alot of her's are atrocious). This isn't a bad game but it's not without it's flaws, some glaring and some not so glaring.… Expand

    This rating is based on 2 years experience with the game. The gameplay is solid, pure fun, hack/slash, punch, zap, etc. very very streetfighter style (good variety of classes too-- ranger, mage, etc.).

However, I eventually became bored of this after maybe 100 hours and it simply became a grind-fest. It is a Korean game, so Nexxon (the American company in control of the game here) has severely limited your options in the game. I got to level 51 after playing 100+ hours, and the cap last time I checked was 70. It is probably 110 by now, Nexxon kept "updating" the game to trick people into spending more money. I've heard great things about the Korean version though, so if you're willing to deal with the language barrier, download the Korean version, because this version is crap beyond the first 20 hours (although both are free).… Expand

    I recently started playing this game on Steam. It is a 2.5D side scrolling beat em up game with MMO elements. You can level your character and get new skills to make them even stronger. Each character class has a unique focus that makes them different from the other and they have sub-classes that you get quite early on at level 15 which transforms some of your skills into different ones.I recently started playing this game on Steam.

Each character class has a unique focus that makes them different from the other and they have sub-classes that you get quite early on at level 15 which transforms some of your skills into different ones. At level 45 and 75, you can get Awakenings that unlock even more powerful abilities.

    The problem with the game ultimately comes from its hard focus on the fatigue system and the daily limits that other MMOs have. The game manages to avoid grinding through level 86 (the current cap), but it suffers heavily in the end game. It takes months to farm items because of multiple currencies needed to actually play. Gold is pretty much useless outside of a few quests and weapon upgrades. This has led to insane prices for a lot of items. You already have fatigue, which limits the number of rooms you can enter each day (you can pay for Neo Premium Plus to nearly double the amount). You then need Demon Invitations to play on the hardest difficulty so that you can hopefully get some unique items you can dismantle. Then, there's Daily Quests that reward specific types of currencies. The result is far more currencies than you can keep track of and an insane grind for end game items. If you can't play every day, then the grind becomes even worse.    … Expand

    Overall, Nexon has developed, in my opinion, a very successful game in Dungeon Fighter Online. While it's not a traditional take on the MMORPG, and more of an MMO-ARPG, allowing players a massive array of choices all throughout the game, from class, to specialization, even having a specific type of gear to change appearance, only adds to the unique feel of each character within the world.

    Despite the dated formula of this title, Dungeon Fighter Online stands out thanks to its excellent two-dimensional graphics and its rich and distinguishing gameplay.

    Though not as slick or elegant as the classics it emulates, Dungeon Fighter Online is absolutely worth downloading, even if you only drop in for half an hour a day. The game’s cash shop items are certainly useful, but you’ll never have to spend a penny on DFO. Call a friend, smash some goblins, unlock new 2D fighting skills.
