  Been playing this game since Alpha and while it isnt perfect, no game is. If youre looking for a classical combo beat-em-up dungeon crawler then this game is definately what you want. Hell, if you just want to play a really fun and diverse game made by a company that actually cares about its playerbase then this game is for you. Each class is unique in its own was and many of them offer more than one playstyle or build. Hitting cap also doesnt take long, in fact Lv 86 is just the beginning of your journey. Go out find a guild and make friendships and kill bosses together or die trying, thats what DFO is all about.

  as a very old player back from nexon, i can say that this game is pretty good to spend your time in, explore new classes with different playstyle, getting new epics(lol), and just spend time with guild mates and being cancer to each other, but in the end, you will reach a point where you get tired of the game and decide to leave, but you still remember the good old times where OV gear is still a thing

  So when nexon cancelled the game we all were super mad. But after years of waiting, it is on steam. I used to love to play this game and it is back.

  Take a side-scrolling Beat 'Em Up like Final Fight, Golden Axe, or Shadows over Mystara. Add in MMO elements, 4 player co-op, and some amazingly high-quality sprite art and you get DFO. It's still an MMO, so be warned that a lot of the content when you hit level cap is going to be grinding for gear and doing raids. If you like that, awesome, if not then you can ignore it and do what I do, make a ton of Alts to play through the normal game with new styles, classes, and weaponry. The game has 40+ total classes to choose from, with each base class splitting off into multiple sub-classes, each of which play vastly different from one another. A ton of fun, amazing to play with friends, and completely free. There's no downsides at all!

  I have played more hours than Steam indicates, I have played the chinese version 9 years and the Nexon version until it was shut down. I was really glad when the developers Neople decided to host the game on their own. This amazing game is often overlooked due to it's 'bad graphics' which I acturally find alluring. DFO is a classic beat em up style arcade game combined with RPG elements. The arcade combat makes grinding feel fun especially on hard maps. I love the amazing varieties different classes get, the player is able to 'advance' into a subclass whos play style that suits them.

  I won't review this amazing game. I just want to say the game is so much better under Neople's management. I just love coming back to it.

  I'll be honest, this is a tedious waste of my time. Hell modes are tedious, getting invites outside of events is tedious (so I don't do that anymore) this is my 2nd account. Sometimes raiding is tedious. I have two accounts, only one character on my older account has a BiS weapon. Otherverse on the other hand was improved drastically. Not only is it soloable with the appropriate amount of exorcism but the rooms can only drop equipment for your class. I look forward to running otherverse every day now. Alts are a trap. If you play alts, don't get carried away. Figure out what you really want to play and make sure the appropriate gear goes to that character. Otherwise you'll end up with like 20 characters that have 2 legendaries each and 3 epics between them. All that said it is a fun game, gameplay varies a lot between classes, subclasses, class genders, and even equipment set ups. The frequent events and updates also keep it fresh and it's one of the very few mmorpgs that I actually bothered to reach and do end game. But believe me it is grindy as all get out.

  I like this game and it is very unique to me and meeting new players and having fun doing dungeons and complete the quests for rewards and doing events getting good items to help you out I recommend it to anyone who like Dungon Crawling Fighting Style should go after it.

  This game is not worth it in my opinion. Whilist playing didn't like the fatigue system and if I have to pay to get it back up and or wait. I'm not a person who loves making avatars because I have to think of more names. There should be a time system or something instead its a 24hr wait for the fatigue to come back. On top of it I feel like the game is given it's bases to being where you now have to pay for a lot of things if you are someone that doesn't want to make multiplie characters in my opinion. It was good playing it after a long wait but not worth it.

  Played this way back when Nexon NA was still the publisher and quit due to poor handling of the game. Flash Forward into the future and now the game is being published under its actual developers Neople who clearly know how to take care of this game. Gameplay is simple. Its a arcade side-scrolling beat 'em up type game with gameplay mechanics similar to that of a fighting game like Street Fighter. Skills in this game can be activated on input such that as a fighting game or traditionally like MMOs where you do skills on a set skill slot that is activated on the hotkey you set for it. The classes in this game are all unique in that some of them advance to do completely different roles. For example, the female mage advancing to become a Battle Mage which changes her whole playstyle into melee focused dps as opposed to one of her other class advancements such as Elementalist which is focused on bursting down enemies with ranged magic. The level progression is imo pretty fast. The game has a heavy focus on its endgame progression so leveling up from 1-90 per character should take you about 2 weeks or more depending on how invested you are in playing. Since this game uses a fatigue system. If you wanted to keep playing for longer periods of time. You would most likely need to make a new character as each character has their own separate fp bar. You will be able to learn more about the other classes by doing this which may help you decide on who you want to main. To follow up from the level progression. You do scenarios which are basically the story quests of the game. DFO's lore is actually pretty interesting if you want to take time to read it when playing. Though its not as good comparing it to the likes of Warcraft or Final Fantasy. The Questing is pretty much scenario after scenario which involves a lot of talking and doing the next part of a dungeon. It can be boring to some (because its so damn easy), but the fp bar basically encourages you to completely exhaust it for the day and I honestly think its better than the original system Nexon had where you didn't have a limit on your character, but would probably get bored quickly because there was nothing motivating you to keep grinding. 2D graphics and still has some nice looking visuals for a game originally released in 2005. PVP is something I can't really say much about mainly because I don't pvp at all. I prefer the pve aspect of this game and from what I'm aware of. Its hard to get into with the servers being not as good as other games and is dependent on your ping obviously. The community is very good. Theres barely anyone that would honestly be considered a troll. Most people are willing to help you if you ever need a question answered in the megaphone chat. Joining a guild helps and also benefits you a lot for special buffs, guild dungeons and just a bunch of new friends to play with. As you can probably tell from the amount of hours I've played. I love this game and this playtime doesn't even amount that much from before DFO was put onto the steam store. The one thing I found most enjoyable doing in this game is playing all the classes as you may be one of those players who wants to level up many alts for fun or focus on one character, but still make several other characters as alts benefit you with explorer level, extra dailies, support skill, etc. The game has a pretty decent f2p model currently for a game developed in Korea as most progression is done during endgame for gear. The game patches every two weeks with new events that will help you progress the game with ease. You'll likely not need to spend any money on this game unless you feel like supporting the developer/publishers. I've only spent around 20 dollars on this game for avatars as I like customization. You can customize your characters looks by buying avatars and can also use purchase different colours of dye to make your char look somewhat unique from others. The avatars can change the appearance of the clothing, eyes and the hair of your character. The avatars do cost real money and give stat benefits (clone avatars), but can also be obtained in game from events or purchased from other players at the auction with in game gold. To conclude, I recommend this game to anyone who's into eastern games as its one of the few f2p Korean games that are far from pay2win, fun both solo and with friends. Has flashy looking skills for every class and is just an aesthetically appealing game that you may come to enjoy.

  The game is really, really fun, but the fatigue system is a little bit annoying at the beginning, cause takes less than 1 hour to end it up. If u relieve the fatigue system, it's a great game.

  The game is fun and nice though its Steam version is glitchy as hell, mostly because of half-assed implementations of many options here and there. You could enjoy it since it is basicaly 8/16 bit Beat'm'up like but you're warned. For example you need to launch your Steam under Administrator rights to allow the game install itself (while other games only need Administrator rights for their installer). Another one is that... Launcher doesn't show any info since all info is picture-based and you NEED ADMINISTRATOR rights for IE (in other words you'll need to actualy be under Administrator profile to read the news from Launcher). The funniest thing that I found out by readind Discussion threads is that you can't buy premium cash because of some kind of restriction which is not written anywhere on STORE PAGE. And I couldn't find it on official site as well (because it kind of mess without logical navigation - even bank sites are better structured).

  Remove the fatigue system. That is all.
