It’s just not worth your time, let alone the ludicrous amount of money being demanded. Still, it doesn’t matter how good the online features are when the game itself isn’t worth playing, and that’s the rub with this piece of software.

Not that you’d know, since everything looks so generic and indistinct that you can barely tell what’s significant and what isn’t. Sidequests aren’t very interesting and cannot be adequately traced on the map, so they’re usually stumbled upon by accident. Combat is about as thrilling as an egg, with characters apathetically flailing at each other. With its stiff animations, low-res graphics and skeletal plot, Dungeon Hunter: Alliance provides no real reason for players to care about what’s happening onscreen.

Players can poke the touchscreen every sixty seconds to unleash a magical attack via their fairy (controlled with the right stick or touchpad), but otherwise, combat remains the same throughout, and it gets tiring very quickly. A brainless, tactless, button smashing affair, the objective is to just keep hitting stuff until everything is dead, regularly chugging down health potions to counteract the masses of enemies that inevitably swarm one’s chosen hero. Combat is exactly what you’d expect from a hack n’ slash RPG that hasn’t evolved from its iOS prequel.
