DUNGEON HUNTER ALLIANCE ENDURANCE SERIES

You earn experience and loot by killing baddies. Choose between the warrior, mage, and rogue classes and off you go. The gameplay is made up of old-school D&D style goodness. For those of you who must know why you're hacking and slashing, the story is perfectly serviceable.

As awesome as the fairy story is, you can skip all of this nonsense with the triangle button. The re-animated king must rescue trapped fairies and prevent the return of the Dark Queen. You play as a resurrected king who must save the kingdom of Gothicus, which has (surprise) fallen into ruin. In any event, it's hard to stand out from the pack by simply adding 'hunter' or 'alliance' to the word 'dungeon.' Luckily for Dungeon Hunter: Alliance, it separates itself from other similar titles by offering an abundance of co-op options and good old-fashioned isometric hack-and-slash action. Whether being sieged, defended, hunted, or dragoned dungeons are, as the kids say, 'Where it's at.' What's that? No one says that? Fine. It is a PS Vita exclusive.Dungeons are quite popular these days. This review is based on a retail copy of Dungeon Hunter Alliance provided by Ubisoft. If you’ve played any dungeon crawlers in the past year, you can probably skip this, but if you have three friends with DHA, it’s worth a go during the Vita game draught. I found myself just traversing dungeons until it told me I completed a quest. It’s very difficult to understand what you are doing and where you are going. The questing system could also use some work. The fact that it’s so generic is the main flaw. That’s not to say the graphics are bad, they are actually quite crisp on the Vitas screen, they are just generic. Unfortunately most of the dungeons and quests are pretty uninspired. This allows you to leverage each class’s strengths to really fly through levels. If you can actually find three people to play with, it can be fun to explore the dungeons together. The one nice thing about the game is multiplayer. This is pretty much the entire game though all 12 acts and 75 levels. As you get new abilities, you map them to the face buttons and hammer away. All of which effects your abilities, hp, and mana. The leveling mechanic is pretty standard – you put points into strength, dexterity, endurance, and energy. This is helpful in stressful situations, but I often found myself forgetting to use it due to the less than intuitive conrtols. Using them is pretty simple, they can fly over to a pool of enemies and let off an area attack.

If you accidentally graze the back touch, your littler fairy will fly off leaving you for dead. The back touch can be annoying if you have large hands like mine.

This little guy is controlled by the right thumb stick or the back touch. You start out with a lightning fairy and you can collect others that give you different special attacks. Each of these has a unique special ability, but that doesn’t matter much as it all really boils down to running around and jamming on buttons to kill hoards of creatures.

All the classics classes are here, Warrior, Rogue, and Mage. That evil temptress has now thrown the land into ruin and its up to you to set things right.ĭungeon Hunter Alliance is very much your standard Hack N Slash. Well, what do you know, she was evil and decided to kill you. So you did the only logical thing and turned to dark magic to resurrect her. Back in the day, your beloved queen passed away. You slowly begin to remember what happened. In Dungeon Hunter Alliance, you awake after being dead for years.
