Dungeon Defenders Reviews

Dungeon Defenders is a fantastic blend of tower defense and action RPG, delivering addictive gameplay, deep customization, and fun co-op mechanics. Whether you're strategizing with friends or diving into solo play, the game offers an engaging mix of planning, combat, and loot-driven progression that keeps you coming back for more. The gameplay is its biggest strength. Combining tower defense mechanics with real-time combat, Dungeon Defenders allows players to build elaborate defenses while actively fighting off waves of enemies with unique abilities and weapons. Each of the four main classes—Squire, Huntress, Apprentice, and Monk—has distinct strengths, towers, and playstyles, offering tons of variety and strategic depth. The progression system is highly rewarding. Leveling up your hero, upgrading towers, collecting powerful loot, and fine-tuning your build creates an addictive gameplay loop. The RPG elements—such as stat customization, equipment upgrades, and pet companions—add another layer of depth, making each hero feel truly personalized. The co-op experience is where the game truly shines. Whether playing with friends or random players online, team coordination and strategy play a huge role in success. Defending against massive enemy waves while working together to optimize defenses and handle tougher foes makes for endless replayability. Visually, the game’s cartoony art style has aged well, with colorful environments and charming character designs that give it a lighthearted but engaging atmosphere. The soundtrack and effects complement the gameplay well, adding to the intensity of battle. While the difficulty curve can be steep, especially in later levels and harder difficulties, it only adds to the sense of accomplishment when you finally overcome a tough challenge. If you enjoy tower defense, action RPGs, and co-op multiplayer, Dungeon Defenders is an absolute must-play. It offers hours of addictive fun, whether you're optimizing builds, farming loot, or just enjoying chaotic battles with friends. Rating: 9/10 – A fantastic mix of tower defense and action RPG mechanics with deep strategy and endless replayability.

used to play from my 360, on steam the controls are a bit funky at first but once you get used to them its still as good as 360 days, iv been seeing this game get worked on recently and i hope they add cross play and a feature to let you change your key binds. i HIGHLY recommend this, its best with friends but not bad when solo. if you've played dungeon defenders 2 and you haven't played the first one, you need to, the second game does not compare to the first game. something i hope the creators of dungeon defenders notices is that the simple graphics are better than the complicated graphics in 2. i hope this game gains popularity again, iv had quite a lot of fun playing it recently

There's a ton of content. It's a nice mix between tower defense and RPG action. The load of content means it can get a little confusing at times; but you will 100% get your time / moneys worth if you enjoy the game. Good for multiplayer too!

good game

Great game. Amazing maps, funny easter eggs, fun characters. One of the best games and the price is great as well.

100% Recommend this game to everyone! Yes its a old game, made in 2010-11 but its such a fun and amazing game to play! I played it on xbox 360 when i was little and coming back to this game has just been amazing and has brought back a lot of nostalgia! Don't have to worry about there not being enough content cause their is a whole lot of it! So 100% you are getting your money's worth plus more! Many Different characters to choose from, Skins and colours customizations, Many Different ways to play! Wanna play co-op? You can definitely do so split screen and online together up to 3 other players! It Also has such a good story to it and with the added dlcs it even adds more! Then with Dungeon Defenders 2, Awakened and Going Rogue plus maybe even future releases adds so much content to the series which is such a good series to play! So i Highly recommending getting and playing Dungeon Defenders! With Dungeon Defenders 1 there is 118 achievements to collect (you have to play online not local so if you wanna just play by yourself create a private match) which is a grind to collect them all so good luck!!! Though if you just wanna speed though the campaign and the added dlcs recommend just playing on easy! Note if you wanna level up fast recommend searching for a online session with other players in the custom games area! Overall the graphics to the game are great, no bugs or glitches, gameplay is great, story is also really great, the boss battles are hard but a lot of fun, and single player or multiplayer game is playable and a lot of fun! so it's a 10 out of 10!

Easily in my top 5 favorite games of all time still to this day. The artwork is a masterpiece that the sequels couldnt compete with. try to catch it on sale and you can get all the dlc for a good price too! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a new game to suck them in or just to kill some time. There are still weapons i havent been able to get pets i havent acquired and missions i havent done.

Over all, a absolutely amazing game, the big issue I have is recently there was a 48 hour downtime for ranked (The only way to safely play multiplayer, and obtain achievments), which is what it is. But they took away access to the ranked saves which people had poured hours into, normally this isn't a bad thing as downtime will end. But as it has now ended, ranked specifically for redux no longer functions while standard ranked does. We have 0 comment on wether this is intentional or if something broke. But me and many others could have just lost hoursss of time without warning or chance to export saves. And any mention of this is ignored.

pretty interesting game. kinda hit the point where endgame gets stale and u do the same thing but grinding for very miniscule upgrades. tower stacking makes it a lot less interesting but kinda required with how grindy it is. wish there was an option for no trading but increased rates. information should be more public with droprates/item quality. having to dig through discords to figure out how certain game mechanics work, or how some areas are just terrible to farm feels really bad. most of my time is afk doing survival waves. worth trying if you really like tower defence games and are looking for something different. buy everything on sale tho.

played a few hours. DD Awakened is dead and no longer updated. DD2 was okay. DD1 has aged like fine wine. The graphics are stylish to the point they really dont show much age, not like other games of this era do. Would recomend.
