Dungeon Hunter

Gameloft has been making lots of games for the Iphone/Ipod recently and they just spit out another high quality game. Dungeon Hunter, a game that can be compared to a Diablo type style of game-play, available for $6.99 in Apples AppStore. Using either a tap to move or a digital joystick you run around hacking and slashing monsters with 3 different classes to pick. You have the normal Knight, Rouge, and Mage. The story line is you play a king that tried to resurrect his lover but she came back as evil and killed him and took over the joint. A fairy brings you back to life a few years later to take back what is yours and undo this evil. If I didn’t get the story correct that’s because it doesn’t matter, game-play matters.

I don’t want to judge this game too much because I have only had about a hour of game-play so far and only one class(Rouge). But from what I was able to play which was up to level 7 so far, its a decent Diablo game for the Iphone. The graphics are top notch with detail down to each piece of armor or weapon you equip. Sounds are what you would expect, with some nice knock off Diablo music. The controls take time to get used to, just as every game for a touchscreen device does. The digital stick sometimes is not as responsive as I would want it to be. I keep switching from touch to digital stick.

[Update] Dungeon Hunter has been pulled from the App store to fix a crashing problem when you get to a level called Forge. Will be updated and back in App store soon. (Source)
