Dark0ne Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 A friend of mine introduced me to Dungeon Defenders the other day. It's £10 and it's currently one of the most played games on Steam, and I can see why. Dungeon Defenders is a cross between Diablo style Action RPG combat, levelling and looting and the Tower Defence elements made popular by Warcraft 3 mods/maps and the numerous knock-offs and spin-offs that have resulted from it. As someone who spent hundreds of hours playing DotA, tower defence maps and RPG maps in Warcraft 3 with friends and online, and also spent hundreds of hours playing Diablo, it really appeals to me. And at £10 it was worth a try, and very much worth it :) You can play solo, co-op with up to 4 friends (with modding supporting if wanted) or online in a ranked (and official) system without mods. So if you're a solo player you can still enjoy it all. Is anyone else playing it? The SDK isn't out yet but I'd say it's a pretty strong candidate for being the next Nexus site...

BlackRampage Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) To be honest I've never heard of it before, but $10 sure is cheap for a highly popular RPG game. I must say that naming a new game "Dungeon Defenders" sure is a daring move though. Especially considering all the flashy game titles you see nowadays.Almost like naming a brand new sci-fi space sim "Space Invaders".

NexusRanger Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 (edited) Well, 10 Pounds Sterling is more like $20 USD (give or take a few shekels), if my recollection of the current exchange rate isn't too fuzzy. Nevertheless, it sounds like a very fun game at VERY reasonable price. :) Those with dial-up connections (like myself) or other connection-related issues might like to know about a similar game called Torchlight - a Diablo-esque game courtesy of two former Blizzard designers. The game is single player -OR- co-op multi-player via LAN, is Steam / DRM free, and currently goes for less than $20 on Amazon.com. The game has done so well, that the creation of a sequel began almost immediately after release and, I believe, is due out the first week of November. Either way, it's nice to know you don't HAVE to spend a ton of money to find good games that are well worth your time to play 'em. :) Edited October 28, 2011 by NexusRanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcafitra Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Yep, I've been playing it with a few mates to kill time until Skyrim is released and it's surely addictive fun. A bargain of a tenner (Sterling). Right now we're busy doing all the challenges to gather trophies that decorate your tavern :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halororor Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Just bought it. I only saw the word Diablo in Dark0ne's post and I was already sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
