It's a more modern take on DD1 (the first game in the series). A tower defence game where you have a Build Phase to plan & place your defences using a dozen Heroes (with mostly unique towers and abilities) then use those same heroes to fight alongside your towers during the Combat Phase. Grab loot afterwards to upgrade your towers / hero and repeat. It's a free to play game where you can earn (grind) everything in the game except for some cosmetics. The grind is kinda long but not too bad. It's about a week to earn enough to buy a new Hero. 100% pay to skip at worst, no pay to win. You can also trade with other players using ingame currency (like most F2P games, there are multiple currencies, somewhat predatory "premium" currency packs/etc but it's never too egregious) BUT the grind can get quite arduous in 'end-game'. That said, while other games, you have this '30 seconds of fun' that's looped? Here it's a 'plan and build', fight alongside your defences, collect your rewards then gear up for the next run. It's a '20 minutes of fun' that's looped. If you like a tower defence game with very strong RPG elements and lots of action, complete with a stable of very unique heroes (flying witch? woodsy dryad? studious mage? spiritual monk? noble knight? sinister necro? and much more) ----- The game is server-hosted. This prevents almost all hacking but means you can suffer from lag

Gobu gobu gob gob. Gobu gob gobu gob gob. The Legion finaly managed to invest into getting one paper to write a review. Currently 115 goblins are trying to type this, gobu. I have recently started to play also on a new account from 0 to endgame chaos, to get experience on how the progression is. So let's get it started: Pro: - really beautyfull Graphic style - detailed maps with alot of love to details and hidden easter eggs - big hero rooster, 11 Heroes currently and alot more will come (game is by far not finished) - balanced builder, it is possible to reach endgame with the 4 initial heroes and all heroes have their own strength and disadvantages - DPS Heroes, for DPS all heroes are really strong and many can be build and played in a few different ways - good challenge for new players, the climb through campaign to chaos 7 (current maximum chaos tier) is quit challenging, special for new players who still need to learn about how to play the game - all heroes can be unlocked with ingame currentcy which can be earned by playing the game, doing weekly and daily - gobu - switching between multiple heroes via hotkeys (way faster building and battle phase because of that) - you can build with all your heroes (even the imaginary tower of the Gunwitch, which had recently got a buff) - helpfull community in the official discord, if you have questions about the game, you can go gobu there Contra: - still alot of bugs (Bugs can be reported here: https://bugs.dungeondefenders2.com/) - server issues, currently because of the influx of players there are server issues and devs doing overwork to fix them - for some player probably to hard, the climb from campaign to chaos 7 is a good challenge even for a new player - not much to do at engame, after reaching chaos 7 there is currently not much to do, but that is around 2-3 weeks of playing from campaign to chaos 7 depending on how much time you invest. But like with Heroes, more content and modes will come. - 2 bags, if you play for free you have only 2 bags, it is enough though for if you want to play with your initial 4 heroes. Bags is one of the few parts where trendy tries to get their money for foods in. Gobu - gear progression, it is unintuitive, but it does work if you just equip better main priority stats gear. That's how i played on my second account too, to see how it is. This is also not final yet. - the goblin legion getting always nerfed, gobu plis trendy T.T Buff the legion. I played the game since Years by now, and compared to the start, alot changed. Would i recommend this game for a new player? YES If you like an challenging experience, with up to 4 friends for a few weeks or month or even more if you get into it? Then definitiv yes. The game is in a really good spot for new players, lot of play content, many heroes to unlock, lot of houres you can play and the game is still growing. Would i recommend this game for re-appearing old players? Depends Depends, if you were already in C7 and are still in C7, no wait more. If you were in NM4 before it was changed into Trials, then yes, but here a few helper for you: Do a few chaos 1 runs first, to receive a few campaign and chaos 1 shards. Do then a few chaos 3 and 4 maps and replace all your old NM4 game. Would i recommend this game overall? Definitiv yes It is a good Action Tower Defense game. You can place towers and use skills and attacks to help them out. Content is there for playing a few month, and new content appears steadily. Trendy still plans to bring in many more heroes and maps, playmodes and events. Last words? This is not DD1, i played both games too, and i must say i do like DD2 by alot more and it will only get better over the time.

Hey guys, I think that this game is an excelent game due to the fact there is a large assortment of items to find and use. I will list the upsides and downsides of this game that I have found during some of my experiences. Pros: Lots of things to do in the game New Enemies. Lots of unique modes not just campaign New weapons New look Excelent Graphics Still updating Lots of new content Voting system (Democratic decision making) Allows the players to make the decision of new things (REALLY like that <3) Cons: Too repetitive Grindy No unique names for weapons Not 100% sure they're doing the set bonus's Not a large variety of Weapon Rarity's Pre-ordered the premium version of the game paying almost double or more of the money for the basic pre-order than less than a year later became Free-to-Play losing all my perks. (VERY upset about that) This is my own personal opinion not yours. I believe that some people may Agree with me

I do indeed reccomend this game, especially if you were a fan of DD1. The devs did a good job making this game similar enough to the first one, but added enough originality to call it a brand new game. This is NOT just a retexture of the first one, but so much more, there are now sub cores that if destroyed open a new spawn point for enemies, ability spheres, several levels, and much more. Also, unlike most other early-access games the devs are CONSTANTLY updating, the more you sign in and play the game, the more points you earn to vote on what they add into the game. These people truly care for their players. Pro's: - Better looking (Graphics, animations, enemys, tavern) - Tons more levels, items, and pets. - New types of equiptable items including vanity items. - New enemies and boss fights. - Item leveling requires other items to be enchanted into it, instead of just paying with gems. - Seperate tower gems and ability gems - I could freakin' go on forever haha Con's: - ONLINE ONLY; This is one thing I don't really like, since a lot of times my internet is down or just bugging out, but there is a private lobby mode, and as long as you have a feint connection to the internet, you should be good. - The menu is somwhat complicated and progression is unclear, it's hard to tell what missions you have done on what difficulty, and which one you are supposed to do next. I was a huge fan of DD1 and I am really really exited for the release of DD2 when everything is finished up.

First of all: Don't listen to those people who keeps saying: "This is the worst game ever! It doesn't even look like DD1." This is Dungeon Defenders. If you want to play a sequel of games that are all the same, buy Call of Duty. They are right about one thing though, this isn't like DD1 but this is a good thing! This is only and pre-alpha and the work they did with it is just amazing. The graphics are amazing: just look at all the colour in the artstyle. Got to admit, not like the first Dungeon Defender which was, in my opinion, a bit low on graphic quality. Look at all the content!! So much new stuff in there! The new pet system, the costume system and much more. In only one patch, they doubled the fun I had the first time I played Dungeon Defenders 2. After 2 hours of playtime, I already bought the collector's upgrade because Trendy needs support for this amazing game. To those who keeps whining about the bugs and the crashes, etc. Don't cry in the comment section, send a ticket to Trendy! Plus, this is only Pre-Alpha, so there are still a lot of issues to be fixed. You need to remember one thing though. Don't buy this game expecting a fully developped game, it is a work in progress (which progresses like crazy!). I played over 500+ hours of Dungeon Defenders 1 on console and I am really satisfied with the sequel. I digged the first one and liked even more the second one. This is the kind of game that you can't get enough of. The only thing that scares me is the idea to go free to play. What will happen to the community? Will it get ruined? Will it be even better? I don't know. But the thing that I know is that I recomend that game to anybody who digged the first one and is looking for a Dungeon Defenders 2, not a Dungeon Defenders 1 HD.
