    Despite the lack of character customisation,this title is fairly good for a simple and quite basic dungeon crawler.A standard,and therefore forgettable, fantasy story aside,DH:A is almost a trip down memory lane except on a handheld.But it's a far cry from todays Diablos and Torchlights.

    I don't know why people hate this game so much. It's got some sort of diablo like, and on today's vita,there's no other choices. The graphic's quite good and the skill mechanic allow you to build up for different style. Good game for me, way better than the ios version.

    I'm normally a hard taskmaster when it comes to rating aRPG's, but I do feel that the magazine reviews so far for this game are a little unjust.

Sure, it isn't exactly inspiring, but I've played worse attempts in this genre on the PC and other formats........................... Graphically the game is fine and looks nice on the new Vita screen, and the gameplay is standard hack'n'slash fare which works fine. Its all about dungeon crawling and loot with these games, and DH has plenty.....................I actually picked this game instead of Unchartered when choosing my bundle for release and I don't regret it as I am still enjoying it. I give it 7/10 but if it was out of 100 it would score 75.… Expand

    This game is fun for a while but then it start to get too repetitive.

But after all who likes dungeon games would like to play this game even with all the repetitive combat… Expand

    I bought this game because i wanted to play something like Diablo on PS Vita. But this game is not even near to Diablo. The controls are OK but the fighting and aiming system is really ridiculous while the frame rate doesnt make it much better. Using of health potions by pressing "L" during the fight will become your best friend, especially when you are playing the caster.

Bosses are boring , the skill system and managing inventory is acceptable , graphics could be much better , but it looks ok after a while of playing. I couldnt get further than 70% of trophy progress in this game - finishing the game with all classes would kill me. But i still managed to finish the game on max lvl on second difficulty with my rogue :)… Expand

    Not perfect but i think the game shows potenitial but online connection problems and graphics degrade the game. Furthermore there are some positives such as cool combat and weapons choices ,which bring the game to life. overall a ok game.Worth buying for £10 to £15 as it is a alright game.

    The hack 'n slash role playing game Dungeon Hunter Alliance is a lot cheaper on other platforms, and for that reason alone not recommendable for purchase on a PS Vita. From a gameplay perspective, this isn't a bad game, but it doesn't shine anywhere either.

    The gameplay is very much by-the-numbers for the genre. [May 2012, p.81]

    Trite, boring and not at all compelling. Don't even bother waiting for it to hit the bargain bin, just leave it to rot. [April 2012, p77]
