It's more interesting to play a melee character because ranged characters stay back from combat. Regardless of being a ranged or melee type of character, there aren't many combat actions to complete. The voice acting is pretty good and it creates a world that feels lived in. On the surface, Dungeon Hunter 5 appears like a vast and epic game. Since gems are the premium currency, this means you may get stuck in a loop of not being able to complete missions because you need health potions but don't want to spend actual money. One really annoying gameplay element is that you have to buy health potions with gems. There's no item or equipment store in Dungeon Hunter 5 so you have to pick up everything while playing. Gems are used to open random chests in the home world, upgrade your character's inventory slots, and refill different stats. They basically act as damage sponges for stronger enemies until they die.ĭungeon Hunter 5 also has in-app purchases for gems. You can hire another player to join you in missions adding a helping hand for stronger enemies, but the AI is pretty bad. There's not any real strategy involved when fighting, even with different weapon classes, because everything feels overly simplified. When you defeat a boss, you open a chest which contains equipment cards and XP. You wander around the level fighting lower level minions before getting to a level boss.

The basic attack uses your equipped weapon, but you also have access to spells and defense magic if you have the right equipment.Ĭombat is repetitive. Movement in Dungeon Hunter 5 uses a free-floating directional pad and combat controls are a set of on-screen buttons. Dungeon Hunter 5 suggests what element will work best before starting a quest.Įquipment features two upgrade schemes: Fusion, where you break down unequipped weapons and armor and fuse them to increase its stats and Evolution for direct weapon upgrades, but these require really rare items. Weapons and armor have different elemental properties like fire and water that can be beneficial during specific missions.

At the end of each level, you earn different equipment cards. You can't actually buy anything so you're stuck to finding it while playing.

You can pick up dropped weapons, armor, and money which can be used to upgrade your equipment. There's 'variety' in that there are different missions, but they all play the same way. You are limited to following a linear story as the leader of a bounty hunter group and missions range from assassinations to rescuing important people. Dungeon Hunter 5 uses the same mission styles as many casual games.
