    The critic reviews have been a little harsh on the game, simply put its a hack and slash game similar to Diablo.

The graphics aren't outright stunning, but they do a good job of showcasing the Vita's graphical prowess, that with the addition of a deep and compelling levelling up system and a surprisingly good story makes this game easy to recommend to those looking for a RPG for their Vita. There are slow downs when the screen is flooded with enemies however these happen rarely and only last a second. Some may find the game repetitive, however the ability to save wherever and whenever allows you to enjoy the game in short bursts. The inclusion of many side quests and drop in, drop out multiplayer adds replay value and makes this a compelling purchase.… Expand

    I have to protect this game from negative critics. I always liked "hit to evolved and evolved to hit" games, and this is a good prototype of them. Actually it is a Diablo-clone, no more, no less. I think it's very enjoyable, don't believe the bad critics!
    8/10.

    Harsh reviews are certainly nothing new. Don't judge this game on the critic review scores. If you are into Diablo, then this game is for you. It's got it all, four different classes, not a bad story, graphics are nothing special but they do just fine. Touch controls are responsive and in my opinion it's got replay value. I would pick it up on the store this week as it's going for cheap.Harsh reviews are certainly nothing new. Don't judge this game on the critic review scores.

    Definitely not the best game for PS Vita but one of the good ones. Can be repetitive sometimes and you use same mechanics to defeat most of your opponents... but on the other hand this is the only dungeon crawler on PSV, and somehow can be very addictive. This game is one of the few I have spent most of the time playing on the vita (also Gravity Rush, Lumines, Super Stardus).

Worth playing especially with the price where it is now. Deserves very strong 7.5 or 8 (marked 10 to pull up its score)… Expand

    Why so much hate on this game? I found this game to be an enjoyable and an overall good experience. This game deserves much more credit than the critics and a lot of the reviews gave it.

    Not the worst game I've played quite a fun diablo clone far easier to play a game like this on a vita than a phone, the critics scores are a little harsh

    I think that people downvoiting this game made a big mistake. I put 10 just to correct a little bit a score. My general score is 7/10 because of the fps drop. But game mostly runs smoothly. Every hackslash person who likes diablo, fable, torchlight and other arpgs would love this. It's a mix between torchlight and d2(3). A lot of loot, nice system, enemies are abundant.

A lot of loot, nice system, enemies are abundant. It's excellent on the go to kill few monsters. I haven't tested MP, because i don't like to play that way. Items are various and useful in some build or order. Drops are abundant, which makes you look into your inventory fairly often (which i like despite other reviews). Everything has it's category and it's easy to compare items with one equiped. For me, this is perfect, a must have for vita system. One more thing: PRICE!!! I payed 15€ for the game, and im happy with that. Do not play something weird, because over 15€ it is really a waste of money. Game value is not more than that. It is what it is.… Expand

    when I heard all of the negative reviews about this game I almost passed it up. I took a chance an picked it up. I noticed it was not that easy to find and a few friends of mine told me the game is awesome and it had 4 player multiplayer as well as a single player campaign and when I first played the game it reminded me of Diablo game story is a little generic but the gameplay is amazingwhen I heard all of the negative reviews about this game I almost passed it up.

    I bought this game just to get some kind of RPG experience on the Vita and I was quite suprised. the game runs very well with great presentation. It's not as crisp as I would have hoped but it does look good. The 3 character classes require very different strategies to use and there is a lot of loot to pick up.

    This game was too harshly judged. Now since the Vitas life is winding down and looking back at the entire library it's actually not a bad game. The only game even remotely like it is Silent Hill Shattered Dimensions, however this one is definitely faster paced.

    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.

    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]
