You can hire another player to join you in missions adding a helping hand for stronger enemies, but the AI is pretty bad.

You wander around the level fighting lower level minions before getting to a level boss. The basic attack uses your equipped weapon, but you also have access to spells and defense magic if you have the right equipment.Ĭombat is repetitive. Movement in Dungeon Hunter 5 uses a free-floating directional pad and combat controls are a set of on-screen buttons. Dungeon Hunter 5 suggests what element will work best before starting a quest.Įquipment features two upgrade schemes: Fusion, where you break down unequipped weapons and armor and fuse them to increase its stats and Evolution for direct weapon upgrades, but these require really rare items. Weapons and armor have different elemental properties like fire and water that can be beneficial during specific missions.

At the end of each level, you earn different equipment cards. You can't actually buy anything so you're stuck to finding it while playing. You can pick up dropped weapons, armor, and money which can be used to upgrade your equipment.

There's 'variety' in that there are different missions, but they all play the same way. You are limited to following a linear story as the leader of a bounty hunter group and missions range from assassinations to rescuing important people. Dungeon Hunter 5 uses the same mission styles as many casual games.
