It almost feels like you have weights attached to your feet until you begin to dash or jump. The normal walk speed for most characters does feel abnormally sluggish, and I do wish that they had increased the walk and dash speeds by like 30–50% to better match the pace of the rest of the action. The controls feel fairly tight and satisfying with the variety of melee and ranged weaponry providing a special flavor to everyone while remaining loose too in the sense of building combos, which we'll dive into in a second. Pretty much everyone seems busted and overpowered too, so it's going to be interesting to see how the balance shakes out.ĭNF basically functions as a 4-button fighter with 2 buttons dedicated to normals and the other 2 for Specials, which the game calls Skills.
The setting blends together magic, technology and martial arts with different focuses for each character that all mesh well, so it should be easy to find at least 1 class that appeals to you whether that be big hammer guys, laser gun girls, fast slashing dudes and the playable boss, who messes with space and time.Ĭharacters like Swift Master, Ranger, Launcher and Lost Warrior all offer something rather unique to the genre, but there's no real standard Shoto type to cover the basics - so just pick who you think looks / sounds the coolest. I will admit that I wasn't immediately loving the game upon first picking it up, but in the hours that I've spent diving into its unique combat structure, I've come to appreciate what they're doing a ton more.ĭNF Duel comes packing 16 playable characters (15 at the start plus 1 more unlockable) pulled from Dungeon Fighter Online's various classes that manages to cover just about every fighting game archetype imaginable - even some that we don't see very often. Now talking about the fighting game itself, DNF Duel takes a decent amount of what Granblue Fantasy: Versus set up with a focus on simpler inputs married together with the frenetic action and style you'd expect from the Marvel vs. I just wish Neople and Nexon had changed the name in the West to Dungeon Fighter Duel instead of using the Asian abbreviation for Dungeon & Fighter, but again, that's not a big deal. For those of you who don't know, DNF Duel is a fighting game spin-off of the Korean online beat 'em up RPG Dungeon Fighter Online with its playable characters pulled directly from the available class types of the original.ĭungeon Fighter Online reportedly has reached over 850 million players worldwide since it released in 2005 with the vast majority of their base being found in Asia.Īs such, DNF Duel is catering more so to those audiences and less so for the West, but that's not inherently a negative or anything.
