3.0 out of 5 stars A Hack'n'Slah/RPG That Feels Dated But Is Still A Lot Of Fun For Fans Of The Genre February 14, 2012

By Joseph Born

Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   

Dungeon Hunter Alliance is a sequel to the iPhone game and takes place in the fantasy land of Gothicus.The story is simple, you're a recently resurrected King who has been brought back to fight an evil queen, saving the land from her tyrannical grip. The story doesn't really develop any deeper than that. You start off by picking your class, between a Mage, Rogue, or Warrior. You then name your character and start with your first dungeon. The controls are fairly straightforward and easy to use. Combat is simple and plentiful. You'll earn XP clearing out dungeons and completing quests. As you level up, you'll spend your points on four main character traits; Strength, dexterity, endurance and energy. You can further put points into skills to improve your combat skills. Enemies will drop items for you to pick up and resell. You can use this gold to purchase better weapons and armor.
The graphics are okay. After playing Uncharted: Golden Abyss and wipEout 2048, I felt that this game didn't utilize the Vita's graphical capabilities as well as it could have. Don't expect much detail in the environments or characters. Sometimes when there's a lot of action going on there's a little bit of a slow down. The camera occasionally seems to go out of focus and the screen becomes blurry, this didn't happen with much frequency though.
You can play online with others (co-op), which adds to the experience a little bit. Clearing out dungeons with others and doing quests together helps make this RPG fun. You can have a band of adventurers running around killing an onslaught of enemies over and over again. The problem with this game is it feels dated. It's very easy to fall into the endless cycle of kill, loot, sell, level up, repeat. This makes replayability low, and some may find playing through this once difficult enough.
Overall this won't be one of the best RPG/Hack'n'Slash titles to be available for the Vita, but it is adequate. Avid RPG/Hack'n'Slash fans like me will mostly enjoy this game, casual players might want to avoid this. A solid three out of five stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Though overpriced, it's a great game to go anywhere February 27, 2012

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

Most people will not find this review helpful, because let's face it, the game is 99 cents for the iPhone(Or was) and anywhere from 6.99 to 14.99 on Playstation Network, depending on when you got it and if you were a plus subscriber.

But let's get down to business, Dungeon Hunter Alliance plays JUST like the other games, however you can use the touchscreen to navigate the menus, and you double click the screen to use the Fairy spell. You also pinch the screen to expand or shrink it, which is a cool feature.

Multiplayer is still a lot of fun, playing 4 player co-op is just as fun as on the PS3. However, be warned, there is NO cross play at the time of the review. I can understand not allowing remote play for the game, because there would be no point of buying this game, however being able to play with other PS3 users would give people a lot more to play for. And it would make single player muling possible, on the PS3 you could simply have another player jump in. On the Vita you need a friend playing with you.

Still, this is the only hack and slash game available for the Playstation Vita right now, and unless you plan on visiting your PSP Library of games, it's worth a look, try the demo and see how you like it first, however it's worth it to me. Most others will wait until it's 20 bucks.

There is also a platnium trophy, and a lot of easy trophies to get.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun to play...though overpriced February 27, 2012

By Annie K

Fun: 3.0 out of 5 stars   

This game is fun..with Diablo-esque game-play. Others have complained about this game being inaccurate in control but I have not seen that issue. If you like the game style, this one is worth trying. My only complaint is that you can buy this on the PS3 for like $12 and it's still $40 on the Vita..still I wanted an action RPG and this is the only one on Vita so I picked it up and I am enjoying it.
