Instead of competitive multiplayer, Dungeon Hunter 5 folds in an asynchronous base defence mini-game, in which players populate their personal dungeon with creatures that opposing players tear through in no-time flat, stealing your gold in the process. Players can take AI versions of their friends into battle - see MrRoge above, running directly through a trap like a champ - but there is no playing with friends. Purchasing in-game currency still has a dramatic effect on player strength, but that’s ok - there’s no online multiplayer anymore. It’s a little to simple for my tastes, but perfect for the audience I imagine Gameloft is trying to cultivate. Characters move fluidly across the screen, attacking and activating equipment-based powers with spectacular results. It was pretty sad.Īs a straight up Diablo-style dungeon crawler, Dungeon Hunter 5 isn’t all that bad.

The third game was the franchise’s first foray into free-to-play, a weird multiplayer arena title that wasn’t quite what fans expected.ĭungeon Hunter 4 brought back the dungeon crawling at a drastic cost - players could now purchase skills and equipment with real money. The second upped the ante with online multiplayer.

The first game was a flat-price Diablo clone with some 25 hours of gameplay. Taken as a whole, the Dungeon Hunter series is road map to the rise and dominance of free-to-play games on mobile platforms.

After the release of the last game in the series I’ve accepted the fact that the series is no longer the Dungeon Hunter we fell in love with during the early days of the iPhone. I’m not even upset about the free-to-play thing anymore.
