Dungeon Fighter Online

Dungeon Fighter Online is a multiplayer beat 'em up style 2D game with many MMO elements such as distinct classes, experience, and customizable equipment. The game is currently published by Nexon.

Gameplay

World

There is a world outside of dungeons the character can run around in, a hub where the player can do various things such as buy, sell, craft , collect quests, interact with NPC's, Enter PVP, and interact with other players. From here you enter Dungeons

Dungeons

if you have a party(up to 4 people) you will all enter together. If you are alone you will be the only one inside a dungeon. The game uses a P2P system for partying, meaning game stability depends on all the players internet speed. There has been much complaint against this system however as varying internet speeds can cause people to lag. Every dungeon has 4 Difficulty levels, normal which is unlocked from the start, Experts Road which is unlocked after beating normal with a C rank or higher, Masters road which is unlocked after beating Experts Road with a B rank or higher, and Kings road which is unlocked after beating Experts road with a A rank or higher. Each Difficulty gives more EXP with each higher difficulty, however the enemies get much tougher. When in a dungeon the Rank you acquire at the end is based on Technic points, Style Points, and how many hits you took. Style points are acquired through long combos, and aerial attacks. Technic points are acquired by varying your attacks and skills(not using the same attacks repeatedly) and by successfully attacking the enemy from behind. At the end of every dungeon is a boss and the dungeon is over once he is beaten, afterward you are given the choice to choose 1 or 2 of eight cards(four on the top, four on the bottom) on screen. The top four cards are one free shot at getting gold, items, and rare items. The bottom four however you have to pay a certain amount of gold to choose one and get another shot and are entirely up to the player if they wish to take another chance at the expense of gold.

Fatigue Points

Every player has 156 Fatigue Points, you lose one fatigue point for every room you enter in a dungeon. The only way to explore other rooms is to beat every monster in a room, once this happens you are free to move on to the next room. Once you run out of Fatigue Points you can no longer enter dungeons with that character but are free to participate in PVP, walk around the hub, or change to another one of your characters. Fatigue Points are reset to 156 again every day at 6PST.
