Dungeon Hunter 4 Critic Reviews

Aside from a few questionable decisions regarding real time clocks and internet connections, Dungeon Hunter 4 is probably the best dungeon crawler on iOS to date.

This episode introduces some great additions and replayability. There are not huge changes compared to the previous episodes, but fans will sure enjoy it.

Getting back to what the series did right in the first two games was definitely the right move. Despite the multiplayer missteps, Dungeon Hunter 4 is a fun way to let off some steam by slashing or blasting your way through a horde of enemies. And as we all know, it’s not like the fantasy worlds out there are going to be running out of dungeons any time soon.

This is a freemium game but still a game, so I just have to ask the question - where is the fun? Forgotten, it seems.

Dungeon Hunter 4 is the best episode of the series. An awesome dungeon crawler with plenty of quests, weapons, collectibles and upgrades, but with one huge shortcoming: the overwhelming presence of IAPs.

Anyone who played the earlier Dungeon Hunter games will need very little convincing to jump straight into Gameloft's fourth installment of the franchise. Those new to the mobile action-RPG may find the premium purchases a little stifling compared to the feast available on more traditional platforms, but there's ample opportunity to find out if the price suits your pockets from the free download alone.

There are some bothersome elements, but there’s still one deluxe action RPG dungeon crawler to enjoy that is well worth your time to hack, and slash your way through.

The world's best mobile dungeon crawler is back to its former glory. Amazing looks, fitting music and sound, even the dialogue is much better that the usual stuff from Gameloft. Solid controls, tons of loot and varied locations makes this a no brainer. The freemium model is what keeps this from reaching the skies. It is too much in your face, too pushy and never really feels like it is enough. You can complete the game by grinding and doing tons of multiplayer arenas, you just have to ask yourself if you are fine with that. Keep your credit card safe and go download. At best you will love the game and at worst it will be a fun few hours till you start feeling the IAP beg for real money.

Dungeon Hunter 4 is the game Dungeon Hunter 3 should have been, but as a result this Action RPG feels like a lumbering, outdated behemoth even despite its gorgeous exterior and unique feeling character classes.

Mechanically the best of the series and a genuinely accomplished action-RPG in its own right, Dungeon Hunter 4 blows it with a ridiculously pushy IAP system

It's just a shame because Dungeon Hunter 4 does a decent job putting the series back on track to its roots. Unfortunately, the emphasis on freemium elements puts a damper on the improvements made. Seeing how it's free, dungeon crawling fans should definitely check it out. However, the question remains whether or not its worth the investment required to plow through the entire experience.

Dungeon Hunter 4 is a good action RPG, with satisfying exploration and a huge map. It could definitely be one of the best free to play games in the mobile market, but the freemium model is shameless and too intrusive, drastically downsizing all the interesting parts of Gameloft’s IP .

Fighting your way through Dungeon Hunter 4’s gorgeous world can be fun—especially with friends—but the obvious paywall and inelegant in-app purchases stall this adventure well before it has a chance to impress.

Myriad barriers sour the experience.

Dungeon Hunter 4 makes a welcome return to exploration and narrative, but the grabs for in-app purchases have returned as well.

The freemium formula is not harmful in itself, but it gets so with games like Dungeon Hunter 4, which despite the excellent technical sector, the online multiplayer and the large amount of in-game items, is literally decimated by in app purchases.

Dungeon Hunter 4's slick look and fun scope get trampled out quickly by absurdly aggravating and omnipresent IAP grabs.

There is absolutely no way to obtain more health potions without paying up or waiting until the next day, making the game either impossible to progress in or very expensive very quickly. Either way, it's a broken design and should not be played by anyone with respect for their own time.
