    Fantastic game for a free to play MMO I Personally am not a huge fan of the MMORPG genre (still waiting on Tabula Rasa) but dungeon runners has converted me. the game has a surprising amount depth and always had me coming back for more. Having all of this for free as well was also a pleasant surprise. the company offers a premium account for a measly $5 extra.

Having all of this for free as well was also a pleasant surprise. the company offers a premium account for a measly $5 extra. Parties were very easy to get into, the dungeons are very well mapped out, and going solo is just as fun as battling with a group. The only problem I encountered with this game is the same problem that plagues the MMO genre: poor player etiquette. I'm sure you've heard it all before, but this is a problem that is extremely hard to address. One time or another you run into a player that is insulting or is constantly spamming or complaining about something. The only way to deal with this is to ignore it or report the players for poor sportsmanship. Overall, my experience with this game was extremely positive and I would recommend this to fans of MMORPGs that don't want to pay for World of Warcraft or even Diablo players looking for a fresh experience.… Expand

    Give this game a chance you won't regret it, the graphics are good and the gameplay is very similar to PS2 Baulders Gate. Play for while on your own to get the hang of it, level up a few times then i suggest Auto joining a group for a really fun hack and slash adventure with new friends. Just don't be suprised if some of them are 9 yr olds.

    DR would have been getting some terrible reviews if it charged big bucks like other MMOs, but the free factor seems to give it a free pass for the reviewers. Yeah it's a "fun" time waster but that's all it is; I'd rather read a book or something if I've got the kind of spare time to waste on somethings as pointless as this game.

    This game is very good if u ask me, with an inventory system like diablo and gameplay to match (but not beat) WoW, however its not for the hardcore gamer, as the monsters look almost exactly the same as u get higher and higher, good if u want to play it for an hour or so at a time. Not to mention its free. But the really good stuff comes at a mere $5 dollars a month like the game every 10 This game is very good if u ask me, with an inventory system like diablo and gameplay to match (but not beat) WoW, however its not for the hardcore gamer, as the monsters look almost exactly the same as u get higher and higher, good if u want to play it for an hour or so at a time. Not to mention its free. But the really good stuff comes at a mere $5 dollars a month like the game every 10 year old has played, Runescape, graphics are much better i might add, but holding down the LMB has had some consequences... And it can be quite funny at times, but there is only ONE town, and its name wasn't given much thought, Townston. It might have been better with two towns, but i doubt the name would have been much better (Townsville perhaps?). 9/10 from me. Give it a shot.… Expand

    Totally lacking graphics and a poor interface. Though with a little work the game could be so much more. Its just a time waster grinder if you ask me. Much much out there for free....that blows this away....how Game Daily could have given it a 80 is beyond me haha!

    Too simple, not fun, ugly, sounds pretty horrible. In overall, very boring and uninnovative. Diablo 1 is way much better than this.

    Well its free and more fun than Silkroad (Grinding for experience is not my idea of fun). Good fun even without membership, but nothing too amazing.

    Between the easy to learn interface, the "Monty Python" comedic theme and the FREE part... Dungeon Runners plays better than most pay-to-play MMOs, and therefore deserves attention.

    It's tough to complain about a free game. But the real rub is that grinding through Dungeon Runners feels like a chore without a membership. So in the end, the real question is whether or not this game is worth five bucks a month. We don't think so.

    There's absolutely no reason not to try this game. You might just find yourself hooked by a competent and charming dungeon crawler.
