Video Game: Dungeon Fighter Online


 

     Developed by Neople and currently published by Nexon, Dungeon Fighter Online is an online multiplayer beat-'em-up game most likely inspired by and borrowing heavily from the Dungeons and Dragons series of arcade games by Capcom. Most of the game play is held in dungeons, the only areas of the game that aren't safe and are not PvP arenas ( have monsters in them).

    One of the popular aspects of the game is that skills can be activated by using button combinations, much like in a fighting game. Want to punch right through a crowd of enemies? Hold FORWARD + Z. That enemy is only vulnerable to magic damage that only your grenades can provide? FORWARD, UP + Z. Once you memorize all the unique combinations, you won't need to use as many hot keys to activate skills, freeing up your hot key slots for more important uses.

    Players can choose to be one of six classes:
    Slayer: White-haired warrior who has an arm possessed by a demon named Kazan. Specializes in close combat with either a blade or a club, and wears heavy armor. A female version has been announced in the Korean version. (and is currently in testing!)

Fighter: Close-combat brawler, who uses punches and kicks while sporting a Thong of Shielding. Wears light armor. Most likely a Lightning Bruiser. Has a Spear Counterpart.

    Gunner: Tall, gun-wielding jerk who loves playing the keep-away style. Wears leathers. Most likely a Glass Cannon. Has a male and female version, each with slightly different abilities.

    Mage: The Token Mini-Moe of the six; usually prefers casting spells to deal damage rather than melee combat. Originally a purely female class, male mages were added to the game later; they manage to look Darker and Edgier while still being cute.

     Priest: Burly devout who wields very large religion-themed weaponry and can cast various buffs on the party. Wears heavy armor. Is a Mighty Glacier. Also breaks the usual MMO priest mold by being ridiculously powerful rather than simply a cross between the Squishy Wizard and The Medic.

    Thief: Dark Elf who can either swiftly cut her opponents to ribbons with twin blades, or can hang back and fight with dark magic and her trusty Battle Butler.

   Note the prevalent use of phrases like "most likely" or "usually" in the class descriptions. All the classes get various subclasses to choose from that can dramatically alter their game play, such as a Slayer that wears cloth and specializes in summoning demons or a Battle Mage that prefers to melee with spears or polearms instead of casting spells and supplements their leather armor with a powerful mana shield.    dekaron dil/buy dekaron dil

    The game can be found on the official website or on Steam, under the Free To Play section of the Steam store. Newcomers may want to get some advice from the forums before playing. There is also a standalone version of the game on XBLA called Dungeon Figther LIVE, however it only has the Slayer, (female) Fighter, and (male) Gunner as playable classes.  cheapest wow gold, wow gold      dofus account
