![]() ![]() ![]() You play as a medieval bounty hunter, kicking ass and taking names in the aftermath of the Demon Wars, a reference to the plot of Dungeon Hunter 4. The Diablo-clone facet is overall fun and well put together. The fifth entry in the Dungeon Hunter franchise is one part Diablo-clone, two parts collectable card game and maybe a half part base defense title. As it stands it’s a tough mix of extremes, but at the end of the day, it’s a game I can haltingly recommend, at least for now. Really, at the end of the day the ARPG meets digital card game is somehow a winning recipe, and if it weren’t for the fact that ploys to squeeze money out of players is written into DH 5’s code, this would have been a five star game. But there is in spite of said ploys a game of genuine value at Dungeon Hunter 5’s core. On paper it reads like a recipe for disaster, and in some respects it is, as Gameloft sadly cannot let go of some of their more greedy IAP ploys. So, Gameloft has taken the beloved Diablo-clone and mixed into it the trappings of a digital card game, and a freemium one at that. But lo, it was not to be, for Free-ablo had a brother, and so it was that Dungeon Hunter 5 came onto the land and fear likened onto a dark wave spread over the land of the hardcore. And for a time it was said that none whom men call the freemium dev did hasten to bind the hardcore RPGs to the unholy IAP. Some among they who make their home outside the blighted lands say that the Dark One was seen with the demon imp men call My Little Pony, still others whispered that the Master of Deceit was seen dragging what appeared to be a Bloon by its amorphous heels back-back into its fiery abode, and yea, from this unholy union a scion was spawned, a creature of unfettered corruption that men came to know as Free-ablo, still, others called this abomination of nature, Dungeon Hunter 4.Īnd yea, within yet a fortnight Free-ablo was revealed for a master thief and faker, beguiling men into doing commerce with his unholy IAP, and so it was that men turned their backs on him and so he was forgotten in the lands of the hardcore, oblivion his doom. And so it was written, and so it came to pass that he who they call the Interloper, The Prince of Lies and Purveyor of All That is Evil was in his cups and so it was that in his cups he interfered with an entity such as himself. ![]()
