    If you like games like Streets of Rage and you enjoy funny writing and leveling characters, then you’ll love this. For me, the pinnacle of the Brawler/RPG crossover.

    What Dungeon Punks does is make almost every moment of the game enjoyable, even with those issues I mention above. If you can rationalize that there is more to Dungeon Punks than the faults and flaws, you'll see that there is a quality job in paying homage to a classic gametype that hasn't seen much use in years.

    Despite a gorgeous art style and good attempt at RPG progression, both the gameplay and interface are just too clunky to make Dungeon Punks stand out from the crowd.

    What we have is a game that takes inspiration from a classic genre years, before and while doing nothing very original with the idea, still provides a good time.

    So this is what you get if you mix Castle Crashers, Guardian Heroes and Odin Sphere. But even though you feel right at home with its Golden-Axe’ish feel this in the end is as forgettable as the story.

    The best word I can use is probably ‘clunky’, but putting it rather bluntly, Dungeon Punks controls as well as a dead horse.

There isn't, and fortunately it's not a game about members of British Punk band: the Clash, delving into a dungeon to get loot, and murder the indigenous population of goblins. Only now, I actually want a game like that!

    Dungeon Punks is a brawler, kind of classic Ninja-Turtles, Goldenaxe, Chronicles of Mystara style - it's nicely retro in one way, and quite modern in others. It's also heavily tongue-in-cheek, with an anime inspired art style, kind of like Dragon's Crown. You're cast as one of a group of diverse heroes, Dungeon Punks, badasses who rock around various areas and do the dirty jobs that no one else will do, for the kind of money that no one else'd work for.

    It's mocking the genre, and refusing to take itself seriously - which is a breath of fresh air. So expect some maidens in typical anime-style minimalist clothing, and some guys too, as well as the aforementioned werewolf, lizard men, and more.

    So if you're looking for a fun fighter, with co-op options, something a bit quirky, and not up its own backside - Dungeon Punks is the game for you!    … Full Review »
