There is even a version of this exact game available for PSN, and it is $12.99. The iOS versions, which are admittedly smaller but don’t look or play all that differently, topped out at $6.99. And that leads to the thing that really kills this game. Finding people online can also be a problem-that may change once the game has been out for a bit, assuming people buy it. When you have multiple players, it can actually be fun, but four players can lead to constant frame rate issues, and confusion on where to go. The multiplayer is a heavy focus, and both online and ad hoc gaming is possible. No matter what though, it will eventually get tedious. It still feels like an iOS game rather than a Vita game, but it can be entertaining to collect a ton of weapons and dropped loot while hacking your way through armies of suckers. When too many things happen on screen at once-which is often-the display can’t keep up, leading to some frame rate issues.Īll of that paints a bleak picture, but the truth is that is can be a fun game in a totally mindless way. The bigger issue on this front is the frame rate. The designs do try to look original, and the graphics aren’t terrible, just woefully inadequate compared to the potential of the Vita. The combat is painfully unoriginal, and the levels are nothing more than shiny backgrounds. There are fleeting hints of a story, but it always takes a backseat to you sallying forth and killing. As you murder your way through the fantasy setting, you begin to collect loot from downed enemies and chests as you progress through the 30 or so levels.

The game offers you the choice of three classes (Mage, Warrior, or Rogue), and as you progress you receive more and more quests, which almost always involve you going somewhere that is enemy infested and killing anyone that looks at you funny.

#DUNGEON HUNTER ALLIANCE VITA REVIEW SERIES#
Dungeon Hunter: Alliance isn’t quite the same as the Dungeon Hunter series on iOS devices, but it is hard to tell the difference. It is at the tops of the technological pyramid. The hack-n-slash dungeon crawling Diablo-clones push the limits of what a game on a mobile device can be. Gameloft’s Dungeon Hunter series is a bright spot in mobile gaming. This review is going to be short and to the point: Dungeon Hunter: Alliance is an upgraded version of an iOS game.
