Dungeon Hunter 5 Reviews

There will never be a dungeon hunter game as good as the first 2 games, and they have been LONG gone and trapped in the past due to neglect. They were beautiful single player story driven games. I can’t even tell you the countless hours I’ve spent in dungeon hunter 1, 2, and dungeon hunter alliance for the ps3 and psvita. Dungeon hunter 3 was okayyyyy but definitely a downgrade, then dungeon hunter 4 released. It was a combination of a good story driven single player experience with a multiplayer OPTION. And now you’ve gone full circle with your latest releases. There are countless paywalls in the new games. I miss being able to just play a game. I can’t do that anymore. I have to PAY a game now. Hopefully you come to your senses and release a real game, but like most game companies/publishers nowadays, you probably never will. Its a shame, really. Dungeon hunter 2 is my favorite mobile game of all time. I played that game so much to the point where I memorized every single aspect of the game. (Glitches, chest locations, ways to do things more quickly and efficiently, farming locations) and there’s nothing fun about the new games anymore because none of those unique experiences are possible anymore.

Who in their right mind thought it’d be a good idea to make people have to contact support if they want to reroll their character? I can accept only being able to have one character when there’s three classes to choose from, but at least give people the power to recreate them on their own, instead of having to wait days for a response from support.

Update:

After being told to send a ticket to customer support to get the character remade I get a response that says they don’t do that and I’d have to make a new account on another device and link it to another social media account. This has the side effect of erasing any purchases linked to your current account, so you’d have to rebuy things to get the vip points back. If you don’t have another device to do this on the said there’s nothing that can be done. TOTAL MONEY GRAB. Downgrading to one star for the pure lunacy of all of this.

The first two games that I paid for were amazing. However I can’t play those anymore because the developers are so greedy and deceptive. The Oregon trails was a big hit, until you took it off DungeonHunter5 Store and replaced it with a version completely unlike the original. Now there’s energy points, and loot boxes, and pay walls that appear constantly. It’s the same with this game. It’s faded so far into obscurity that it’s no where close to the originals. It use to be that you could pay for a game. Now we pay the game. As soon as these developers AT LEAST update their older apps(the ones without paywalls) and maybe they would earn their respect back from the community. It’s because of developers likes these, that transformed mobile gaming into cash crops. A complete spit to the face of its older community, which it has successfully silenced after all this time. That’s why you’ve haven’t earned a penny from me ever since those days. Make a game that I can play that cost me five dollars or 7, make it wholesome like the company use to do. And quit treating the community like trash, and it will serve you well.

I used to play this game years ago and it was great with lots of content that was plenty difficult, but only the very endgame content was usually out of reach. Now entire events are so insanely hard that you cannot progress in them without busting out hundreds or thousands of dollars to upgrade your armor. I’m not talking about strategy or gameplay. They literally just make enemies hitpoint sponges with extreme attack to force you to spend money to duplicate and upgrade your armor. Bugs are rampant with many examples. Enemies can enter their invulnerable phases and become stuck in them, not allowing you to do damage. Certain enemies like the mezzogian will either teleport across the map forcing you to run around trying to find it, or out bounds where you can’t reach forcing you to restart. Sometimes the dungeon you’re in may not trigger an event or the next wave of enemies also forcing you to restart. Other times the game just crashes on multiple different devices I’ve tried to play on. I would advise steering clear of this game now.

I really wanted to enjoy this game because the combat and graphics are some of the best I’ve seen on iOS. The problem is that upon starting a character, you’re forced through a tutorial that takes way too long. While you’re in the tutorial, it doesn’t let you navigate the home screens at all. It forces you to click exactly where it wants you to, making the rest of your screen completely unresponsive. This is normal for these kinds of games, but it really goes on for way too long for it’s own good.

I like to learn on my own, and make my own decisions while I build my character, but it completely robs you of that experience. It takes you to your inventory screen, shows you several options for weapons and armor, and then forces you to equip the gear that it wants you to, even forcing you to spend in game money on upgrades that it doesn’t let you choose. I’m sure the game gets better eventually but I’ll never know because I couldn’t get through the beginning before I decided to just uninstall it.

I made it 7 minutes and 3 levels into the tutorial and god it was boring as hell. If it was just a complicated game with a tutorial page that would be one thing but I just sat there listening to npcs explain stuff and clicking to continue. Even the fights were just a glorified "mash the attack button to continue" It feels less like a game and more like I'm listening to some freshman game design major explain how he would do stuff. I wish I could make a decision, any decision, within the first ten minutes of downloading the game so I'm not just sitting there thinking "I'll see if it's good once this glorified cutscene ends"
I really mean any decision, just let my pick my characters hair color or something for gods sake so I can have the illusion that this game takes someone more skilled than a bobbing bird desk toy

Since April 7th/8th 2020, I haven’t been able to get past the “connecting” portion of the loading screen on startup. I was hoping it was a quick fix on GL’s part. Checked the support page and did everything that they suggested (and more) to try and resolve the issue myself to no avail. I thought, “alright, I’ll submit a ticket to customer care and they’ll fix it.” It’s nearly been a week now and I haven’t gotten an answer aside from the automated message that tells me to do the same things I’ve already tried several times. I had purchased a few packs to help out with the (then) upcoming guild war and Easter egg hunt event; only to find that I can’t take part in either of them. I have to say I’m very disappointed and lost a lot of faith in Gameloft. I used to love so many of their mobile games but lately it just seems like they’re trying to rush out spotty updates to keep players on their toes and hopefully, to the developers, digging in their wallets. Normally I would rate this 4/5 stars, solely knocking one because of the p2w factor. However, with Gameloft seeming to CARE less about CUSTOMER CARE, I stand by my rating of 2/5 and would not recommend this, and many other of their games to anybody. A quick side note: I have read of many instances in online forums of this same issue happening multiple times through the past. You would think they could have sorted it out much more easily.

I’ve lost out on many items because they were stuck in chests. The problem I’m having now that I’m gettin really tired of is even when you kill all the enemies, the next checkpoint won’t clear for you to go through. So you wasted energy and a personal co-op person because of the glitchy missions. I’m the type that doesn’t spend my real money on games so the fact that this game is almost unplayable sometimes is annoying. Also, during raid, when you let your fighter freelance fight, he will be almost finish eliminating all the enemies and then stop and go to attacking the elements of the map. Fix the AI in raid PLEASE. It’s awful and I can’t trust it. Also freelance fighting in trial of elements is buggy because your character constantly wants to try and fight the enemies THROUGH the stairs. Yeah, if you guys could fix all that please, that’d be great.

I play, have played, and give any game a chance but theres never been a game like dh4 you should remake it. The offline availability, the great teamwork missions, actual game strats and even though the graphics weren’t that great the whole game was the beginning to something great but you went on with this... and shot words you downgraded on dh5 but we all make mistakes and its your time to fix it. You could probably have more great ideas and better resources to remake dh4. Hope yall see this and you really don’t know how much I've been trying to find a game like dh4 but there's nothing that comes close to the greatness it was. Not a diss or anything i liked dh5 until everything i started the game it went straight to the building you own protection thing and didn’t let me out i deleted DungeonHunter5 and redownloaded countless of times and it kept doing it so i gave up on it because of that and because the gameplay wasn’t that good, really:/

The gameplay and game itself is good great concept... but if your a new player to the game you’ll have to pay your way to be able to compete with the top guilds and players of this game because the developers decided it would be wise to just have separate leaderboards instead of creating a system they puts you and your guild in a bracket with guilds and players around the same stats(example if I’m doing a legendary hunt as a player who’s been playing for three months...with 10k average atk and def... I can be put in the same leaderboard as someone who’s average stats are 50k atk and def... clearly I won’t be able to compete with that person... I’m aware that’s this game is going on 5 years but I would think that you’d update your game to where new people can at least feel like they have a chance in the three months of playing I’ve seen SO MANY dead accounts because players play it for a month and realize they can’t get anywhere in events for awards to help them cause improper matchmaking

So i have been playing dungeon hunter 4 for a very long time, its an great game with good gameplay and graphics, with an okay storyline, but everthing changed when i play dungeon hunter 5, the first thing i dont like about the game is that its not an offline game anymore and i mostly play dungeon hunter 4 because i can play it when there is no internet and its got a diablo based gameplay so it was very convenient and giving me nostalgia back to diablo 1 and 2, but when dungeon hunter 5 came out, its like diablo 3 but worse now its a pay to win online game that the only thing i need to do is throwing some cash in it, no more crafting or rare item dropping out as strong as in the store, its totally made the game turn into a pile of trash, the gameplay was good but the storyline is not as good as dungeon hunter 4 was, and since the game now only focus on online gameplay, it ruined the whole nostalgia i had with diablo 1-2, so I deleted the game after 2 days playing it, if dungeon hunter 6 gonna come out please make it an offline based game and only focus on the gameplay and storyline please gameloft, cause you guys are only making trash and even more trash this recent year, if you guys want to rise up as an mobile game empire again then the first thing you must and should do is to care about the gamers experience when playing your game
Sincerely a long lived gamer

The combat system is good, as is the weapon system. There isn’t any PVP and I can live with that (in their “PVP” system you fight an NPC with the same stats as another player).

My issue is the ridiculous pricing and energy system. Want to upgrade a weapon? That’ll be $20 - the price of a full featured iOS game. And that’s just to upgrade it to the next level, one of five. Your next upgrade will cost even more.

Want to play the game? Sorry, you only get enough energy each day for about 20 minutes of play. That’ll be $15 to get enough energy to play for an hour. I’d venture to guess 99% of players stop playing after a few days due to the energy system. After the first batch of energy is gone, you’ll be gated and unable to play.

It’s not worth the cost. It appears to be an unfinished game with highly repetitive maps. For the cost of a recently released AAA game ($60), you’ll get a couple chests and enough energy for 1 hour of play a day.

Even the co-op system isn’t co-op. You can only play with others in one very small map, not any dungeons.

The dev team did a great job creating an strong iOS game, but it’s not even remotely comparable to a AAA release. There is too much competition in this space and the pricing is the embodiment of insanity. The energy system means you’re forced to close the game and forget it exists for days at a time. Like many others before me, soon I’ll close it for the last time and simply forget it exists.

Assassins Creed meets Diablo. The game gives options for sword, bow and staff, so it isn’t just a single class.

It’s campaign mode is in levels but they allow the player to roam freely, unlike Iron Blade.

The defense of your home base with monsters also has a feature where you can test it. That was always my favorite thing to do.

There’s lots of grinding to level up, lots of repetition. Auto play is optional and gets easier with better gear. Pvp seems dependent on gear quality.

Long range weapons are dominant in pvp over other weapons. There were times I couldn’t compete because my opponent had Bat Shield, extremely rare item.

It’s easier to join a guild than staying solo, the game keeps nagging to join until you do.

There’s a lot of dead guilds out there, but also many that are active and small, and some that are highly active, large and demanding: take your pick but you have to join. The right guild will take you places. They may ask you to use outside communication like Line or Band.

Guild wars happen every weekend. My guild played nonstop. Larger guilds take precedence.

For a while the game was my life.
I stopped playing because I had to, not any fault in the game.

I’m an original player. Installed as soon as it hit DungeonHunter5 Store. The game has always had its flaws, like after 3 years they can’t make chat stop breaking. But now I can’t even play. Most days all I can do is collect daily login before crashing. And even that takes 2-3 tries. If I try to DO anything I always crash. They updated the game claiming “bug fixes”. Didn’t do anything. Been over a month now. Most people don’t crash quite as much, but everyone has issues. Like winning a raid, but being told they lost. It’s a shame because in the right hands DH5 would be one of the best mmo apps, but it’s run by GL, so don’t play it. And while you’re at it don’t play ANY Gameloft game. 9/10 of their games are buggy and/or bad. 😑

DO NOT LISTEN TO THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS, this is one of the best games on DungeonHunter5 Store. Not only is it well made with incredible gameplay, storyline and graphics , but it is an extreme hidden gem that’s addictive. If you’re looking for a game that doesn’t pressure you to grow, while massively rewarding you and keeping you engaged for a long time to come, this is it. It has something for everyone, you like Diablo style games? It has that for you. Like tower defense games? It has that for you, balanced pvp? You’ll have more than your fill of that. This game is about the work you put in and simply not pure spending. I find myself always coming back to it because nothing else could compete with this hidden gem.

I spent an enormous amount of time playing DH1-2; then 3,4, and now 5. I’m still playing DH5 as GL has continued to upgrade the game with a vast amount of content. The ingame upgrade ability and combinations are virtually limitless. Every great once in awhile delete and reinstall the game if you have issues. Get on Band to communicate with friends and a guild to help make it more fun.
The single player ability is also there, so you have the best of both worlds! You don’t have to pay to play, it just takes longer to upgrade. If you love the game why rush it right? I have spent very little in the last few years but have had countless hours of entertainment. I have never played any game this much in my life!

This game is a five out five for 3 reasons only.
This first one is the gameplay is incredible and I love how simple the battle mechanics are.
2. You can become a great in a short matter of time. This game is NOT a pay to win game which some games today on DungeonHunter5 Store seem to be, I started paying this game a week ago and I’m already got a AA water-type sword, an A grass-type staff and AAA armor.
3. I’ve played most of the dungeon hunter games and this one stands out the most. I really like this game franchise and hope it carries on to a sixth and doesn’t stop just there. Also I love how the multiplayer System works, being able to raid other players strongholds just allows the player a whole different challenge and strategy than just the simple solo mode.
These are my three reason on why this game deserves a total five stars.

The game is pay to win, there’s no denying it. But you don’t have to pay to win. You can play the game completely from start to finish without spending a single penny. It’s fun, but that’s my opinion, I like games were you grind for rare currency in order to majorly boost your characters stats, the missions are simple, but quite satisfying, and there’s enough options to last you a long while before you have to stop playing the game due to loss of energy. Do I recommend it? It’s not for everyone that’s for sure, but I recommend you at least give it a shot, because it could turn out to be your sort of thing.

Rather enjoy it but it takes so long to level up your character in the real world for ppl who work a lot. It takes so long it gets boring in my opinion, then you have guild battles and you can't never participate because the game doesn't load off the guilds who haven't been on in like 89 days. I've been trying to join or create a guild but it's not happening. Don't get me wrong this is a excellent game if you want time consumption but work more than one job you won't have much time at all. Plz fix these issues I greatly appreciate it. It has major potential if they get it right. If you can make a newer version with the camera right behind the player and more options than just one button too attack with staff you could charge for it plus fix these other issues my other players have complained about. Thanks a bunch.

The game is great and all but I can’t play I can only click a few thing but nothing works I can’t even buy things! This has been going on for a long time over a year but I uninstalled the game and forgot. I tried everything to fix it but nothing worked. I uninstalled it, I restarted my phone, I even tried deleting my data but it doesn’t work and I can’t play! I love this game but it just won’t let me do anything. I can access shops and click some things like story but the story never loads it’s just clouds! The game was fully downloaded and everything but it just broke! I am just wondering how to fix this glitch and I don’t care if I have really good stuff I just want to play to the game again! Please help!!!
