Colorful graphics addictive game play and fun all around

Colorful graphics addictive game play and fun all around. I have amassed over 3000 hours in Dungeon Defenders. ALL PLAY NO AFK SHOP! I am not even close to done with it yet. Dungeon defenders 2 is on the way but DD1 still has lots of life left to it of this I am certain. At a mere $15 for the base game it is a great deal. When it goes on sale you can even find the complete bundle for under $13! Not sure if you will like it? Try the free demo you have nothing to lose!

BACKGROUND:

BACKGROUND: This game was gifted to me from someone I had once played Team Fortress 2 with. I never imagined I would have had so many hours of entertainment. I've met a lot of amazing people through this game that I've kept in touch with for years. Although labeled as a tower defense, its unique playstyle sets it apart from many other tower defense games in my opinion. PROS: -character variety (4 core builders; the rest are DLC) -maps offer diffferent amounts of difficulty -loot is satisfying as hell (especially when you get your first Ultimate++) -incredibly fun with a group of friends -you can still solo if you prefer -achievements are actually worth going for as they reward you with characters skins that boost DPS -lots of old players that are still around that are eager to guide new players CONS: -if you're not a student athlete, this game isn't for you -late game (Nightmare mode) "requires" DLC heroes such as the Summoner and EV -unfortunate lack of popularity therefore not as active community wise as it used to be Some of these cons aren't terrible if you plan to purchase this game during a sale; there's a lot of value in the collector's edition. As you can tell, I haven't spent very much time on this game, but that should not hinder you from being persuaded to purchase this game. I would have to rate this game overall as an 8.5/10. I won't go out on a limb and say this is the most amazing game, but it's quite a decent one that you'll come back to over and over if you get hooked.

Extremely fun game, ruined by its community

Extremely fun game, ruined by its community. Let me explain: The fun in this game is learning, and growing your characters and items in level. The fun isn't in BEING level 100 with level 100 gear. The fun is in PROGRESSIVELY GETTING THERE. But the community is all about boosting, which can give you 30+ levels in an hour, and gifting high level (sometimes hacked) items. So instead of experiencing the joy of progressively getting there, increasing this and that, instead you are suddenly propelled to new heights. And while that boost seems great at the very moment it happened, this pleasure is infinitely short-lived. This is the reason I created my group, Dungeon Defenders Hardcore, for players that care about having fun with the game, not just reaching level 100 ASAP. What then? You know? Other than that, this is an awesome game, and I am looking forward to Dungeon Defenders 2. EDIT: DD2 was a major fail, but Trendy (named Chromatic Games now) have begun work on Dungeon Defenders: Awakened, which they promise to deliver more of what made THIS game awesome. It's even still time to fund them on their kickstarter page.
