Dungeon Hunter 5
Do you enjoy action RPGs like Diablo? Then Dungeon Hunter 5 might be just the right game for you. In the fifth installment of the series, a lot has changed compared to its predecessor, and the Diablo gameplay now includes tower defense elements.
Slaughtering like in Diablo, but Mobile!
Hack n’ Slay on the iPhone: The focus of the Dungeon Hunter gameplay is still the gameplay known from Diablo. That means: You run through dungeons and click monsters to death. You create a hero with a weapon and then you can get started!
The rather thin story begins where Dungeon Hunter 4 left off. Dark forces and demons have attacked the kingdom of Valenthia. Your “Bounty Hunter” has a lot to do, driving away the dark beings and making a nice profit. This story is told over more than 60 missions that you can tackle alone in solo mode.
Finally, there’s Coop
Hunting monsters in a group of four. Slaughtering monsters is already a lot of fun alone, but in the newly added Coop mode, you can experience all the fun with up to three more friends on your team. This Coop mode was added in 2016. Before, you could only take AI-controlled copies of your friends. These bots acted rather stupidly and often walked into traps.
Weekly Coop Challenges: The Coop mode is a separate game format where you play changing missions each week. At the end of the mission, there are rewards, including new resources for monster crafting.
Diablo meets Tower Defense
What is Monster Crafting? Monster Crafting becomes essential in another game mode of Dungeon Hunter 5. You can build your own dungeons, called “Stronghold,” and fill them with monsters. You construct these creatures beforehand in Monster Crafting.
In addition to the monsters, you can also set deadly traps and other nasty surprises in the dungeon, and then wait for some clumsy players to come into your lair and die miserably. Alternatively, you try to do the same to other players, slaying their monsters and looting their loot.
Is it a fair freemium?
How fair is Dungeon Hunter 5? As with almost all online mobile games, a freemium title like Dungeon Hunter 5 raises the question: Are the in-app purchases fair, or are there hidden costs or unfair advantages for paying customers? Unfortunately, it is indeed the case that real money can provide advantages. Those who do not pay will have to put in considerable effort starting from the mid-game and will progress noticeably slower. However, with enough patience, you can unlock all content without spending real money.
Dungeon Hunter 5 can be found in the App Store at the provided link.
