Review: Dungeon Runners 1 - 8

Ok, so I was listening to a few Podcasts and Many of them were saying how much they liked Dungeon Runners so, I decided to check it out...

Initial Thoughts:
You create an account and you download the game, The download doesn't take too long and then you can log in.
You have a Choice to play for Free,Pay 5 a month or, You can go out and Get "The Box" which gives you a "Bing Gnome"

When you log in to create a character it looks like you can only create one character. After you create a character it gives you another character slot. If you create Your second, It gives you one more slot then, No more.
After you create your character you arrive in "Dew Vally" you'll find A good deal of quests but, be sure to read the quest all the way though because you'll laugh a ton!

Dew Vally Forest:
After getting a few quest done you'll be sent into the forest. For the most part you'll be blasting wolfs,Rat-things and little else. Gear drops allot,However, You don't see it most of the time Due to the fact that it is nearly impossible to find. Any loot that drop falls to the ground under the grass and other things. When you do find the loot you'll enjoy the "Cardboard Great Sword of the Beaver" and other such things..
One thing that bothers me about the game is the fact that the Dungeons are all Instanced so much of the game play is Solo.

Leaving Dew Vally
Allot of the quests you get a Grind fests but, some of them are fun*
At about level 4 or 5 you will get a quest to kill "Rattle-Tooth" It's a Rather tough fight but, It can be done, then You can Head out to the next town.


Townston & And More Slaughter:
Townston is the next town you go to, It is a Rather Large town and has your class trainers. One of the best things about Dungeon Runners is the customization, you aren't bound by your class spells, you can Practically make your own Class with mix matching the spells.
You'll get 20+ Quests to go into the dungeon near by and you get to fight more stuff..
At this Point you'll see allot more ADs when you die you have to watch one (You die allot) and at the top of the sceen..

Final Thoughts:
Dungeon runners is Funny,Witty and better than most (F2P) MMOs. Although the Ads and many "Members only" stuff does get in the way.

I give it a..

4 out of 5
