Dungeon Hunter 5, the fifth installment of the star role-playing franchise from Gameloft, returns you to the series's dark world full of demons waiting to be annihilated. This time, though, there's more variety than ever before.
As usual, before you start the game you have to choose what character you want to play. You can choose from five different types, each of which will radically change the way you approach the game's various challenges. The five character classes differ mainly in their initial weapons: two-handed sword, crossbow, two swords, wizard wand, and halberd.
Once you've upgraded your character as you play through story mode – where you can level up and get lots of different pieces of equipment (weapons, armor, amulets, etc.) – you can go to the battle arena. There, you can duel online (PvP) against people from around the world. You can also play cooperatively with other players.
Like all other games in this franchise, Dungeon Hunter 5 has graphics verging on outstanding; all the elements are carefully done down to the smallest detail. Both the settings and the characters make playing a real pleasure.
Dungeon Hunter 5 is a brilliant action RPG, and although the premise of the game is all too familiar, it's still enough fun that the vast majority of users will want to keeping playing just a bit more.
