After playing CoH and CoV for years i cant believe that this game is from the same company. its simply said, horrible.
WASD+ (Jump?) control is slow and has absolute no fun factor. Wheres the JUMP ??
Point and Click, means to me = Dead Game, no feeling for my Toon at all.
The grafics look like games from 1996, its reacting slow, static no dynamics.
NCSoft you gave me the feeling of beeing warped back to 1996 with this game.
Item Mall system, free to play but need to pay inside game for things like bigger inventory, weapons etc etc. Stupid greedy new system that leeches out the last penny from some poor addicted people.
Please dont release this game or project or whatever it is, its not worth a Cent.
My opinion 1-10 points
Grafics: 4
Sound: 3
Controls: 1
Fun factor: 3
i am not a fan of these Korean Point and Click + Item Mall games but if you want to play a game like this then play Silkroad.

Jump - why is it necessary? There's nothing in the game that would need it.
Point-and-click - The game isn't only point-and-click. You choose between WASD and/or P-A-C AND you have mouselook. That's pretty comprehensive, especially when compared to other f2p games like Rappelz and 9Dragons, which only offer one type of control
Graphics - I call shenanigans on this one. The only graphical MMOs in 1996 were AOL's Neverwinter Nights and 3DO's Meridian 59. The graphics in DR are intentionally cartoony - the game's premise is humor and satire, not realism.
Item Mall System - doesn't exist. Item malls let you purchase individual items. This game let's you subscribe for a very low monthly fee to have access to ALL of the better items. Regarding leeching from addicted people, they didn't program the game for free, they need to make money. How else should they do so?
Also, it's not a Korean point-and-click item mall game. It's American, developed by NCSoft North America in Austin, Texas.

@rhinok
LOL@you for beeing so loyal to this piece of amateur trash code, called Dungeon Runners.
i am happy that i can afford to play games with a monthly fee.
I can only laugh at this game, the character control, the stupid grafic and the stupid game zones.
This game is a failure for NCSoft, i guess it wont ever last longer than 1 year, if ever released.
I cant take people serious that defend this game Rhinok sorry, maybe braindeads play it or 5 year old kids.
good luck with this Terrible piece of Software.
@rhinok
sorry for second post , seems my browser doesnt work today.
Dude, i didnt know Korean companies moved to Austin/texas lately
Its horrible.
The Point and Click is the only way to control it somehow well.
The W A S D control sucks, its slow and it doesnt give a good feeling when using it.
and the rest of the game is good for the BASURERO, Adios mexico.....
Dungeon Runners wasnt meant to be a "Top of the Line" MMO release. Its more like...Puzzle Pirates. You play for free, or, if you want access to the upper end items and stuff, you pay a fee of like 5 bucks a month. How can you even TRY to compare that to a full out subscription-only A grade MMO like COH/COV, WOW or whatever?
Come on man, get a grip. Its a simple game for people with no time for a full MMO and, for what its designed to be, its a pretty cool little game.
CoV / CoH is 15$
DR's is 5$
thats very cheap for someone poor and addicted as you put it.
and the reason behind the grafix is simple, anyone with a low-end computer can play it.
and no the system is not slow, they just patched it, but you wouldnt know that becaus you only spent what, 2 hours in-game and then started crying becaus it was not up to your standards.
and like someone already said, CoV and CoH was not coded by NCSoft.
There is no change in the size of your inventory whether you are a paying member or a free member. There is no item mall to buy from. There are also NO personal shops to crowd and lag out the town and dungeon lobbies like in all the other online games for fantasy.
The game was made silly looking and cartoony on purpose. NPC's tell you to get bent, or they yell at you because you waste too much time coming back to them to buy pots. The names of items are made to make you laugh such as items like "Infectious skin of the bunny" and dang near any slapstick title you can come up with yourself. This game was made for people who are sick of little children with foul mouths who only want to come in and ruin online games. Basically we found a game that people like you (kid with a big mouth that only bull**** comes out of) and the Turks can't hack, cheat, or bot in.
This is one game the adults love because
1. You can't kill steal
2. You can't steal people's loot
3. You can't lure mobs away from people trying to level
4. You can go to town without having to fight through hundreds of afk personal shops
5. Abusive players are stopped and banned faster than most other games
6. The Devs AND Gms all jump into the game and play or chat with us
7. You can't gank players, pk slaughter players, or abuse any other pvp aspects within the game
8. You can reset your stats at any time you feel like, you're never stuck with the build you first created
9. There is never ending content that is always having new ideas implemented into the game so you never know what to expect
10. The game is more stable than KOL, Khan, Silkroads, Rappelz, Flyff, and many others. When they give ETA on downtime...they are very accurate
You didn't even play beta axyrn. Do you even realize WHEN beta phase was for this game? It's limited release, by invite only, and if that means we can keep jerks like you out of the game or make you not enjoy the game, then so be it. The game is better without you around anyways. All you did was whine and b**ch in chat from the moment you walked into Townston.
aight man, let's put it the easy way. Damn you for saying some of that crap you did. THIS IS and I mean IS Guild Wars with a WoW graphics and a Gauntlet battle system plus some added humor for fun!
Guild Wars similarities:
- towns and villages used as hubs for players to meet, trade and get quests
- single-player RPing with option to party up for extra fun and help
World of Warcraft similarities:
- graphics have the same fun, cartoony look that was the one and only thing that put WoW ove games like Guild Wars and Lineage and such
Gauntlet similarities:
- single-player dungeon hack and slash with option to buddy up
- same button-mashing game made MMO
Differences from all:
- humourous
- free of @$$holes like you
Get over it man, you lose
Check out the MUD I'm making!
I admittedly only played this game in beta for maybe 4-5 hours. However, it wasnt becuase I thought the game was complete crap, just decided to see if they implemented anything new for the actual release of the game. I think the only problem with the graphics I had was the character models just seemed very awkward, and since alot of people have compared it to WoW's graphics, I'd just say that I think that it's more compareable to Darkstone, the old ps1 and PC game that came out in like 2001 something like that. I'm not saying that the graphics are horribly poor for a free game it wasnt too bad. It seemed to me, to be somewhat like Diablo2 mixed with guild wars. Maybe not the 'fun' factor of diablo 2 becuase of a lack of classes (the game seemed to be totally based on a stat system that you put points into say 'stamina' or whatever and build your own class.) Thats not bad, but I think that if they would have put a class system in there, and new character models this would be one of the better games coming out this year including those that are p2p. Anyways thats my two cents.
i just can laugh about the fanboys here. interesting to see that even the worst game finds its fanboys.
i think if someone releases a Pac Man like MMO with the possibility to improve your Pac Mans AGI;STR;WIS;STA HP/MANA then you fools would become the 1st fanboys for it.
get a job guys, earn some money and play a real game. not a game with crappy grafics and terrible controls.
I promise you kids that this game wont get far. You few kids wont make it a big success
The time for the download is already a waste of time.
bye bye, have fun playing a game which is dead in a few month. i cant wait to see you crying about your super useless Toons which will be just deleted
@NCSoft, if one of your developers is reading this. Shame on you for this crap which gives me the feeling to play a game from 1995. There were even better games on the Commodore AMIGA. This game is a big RIPOFF, your just trying to get some money back that you invested into the development. The blind kids here wont safe you from a big failure.
"interesting to see that even the worst game finds its fanboys."
Lol, that so reminds me of Horizons!
DR is not the greatest. but for what you pay and what you get its fine.
sure the controls are confusing and at points suck. but so do many other online games that have crappy controls. jumping is only usefull if there are places to jump to... most people who want jump keys want to use some vertical exploit with ranged classes... lol
for 5 usd you get a bank and special gear thats it.. hardly worth it if you ask me when you get just as well or better gear for free
the grapics are fine. if your going to whine about graphics go whine about WoW and other really lame looking games lol
music was the only downer for me i found it repetitive and boring
but other then that its fine for a free/paid sub game.. atleast its not charging 10 usdper month for it so why whine about it...
wish the mobs had more of a challange.. at lv 20 the main area is weak even at lv 10 you can clear a whole floor by your self so it defeats the purpose of teaming up
People like this guy really give me a chuckle when they get all bent out of shape over a video game (and a free on at that). I consider myself an avid gamer, if i'm not at work, taking care of kids, or asleep your usually gonna find me sitting in front of my computer playing one game or another. Now I get a little irritated at some things but when I do, I just avoid the irritation al together. coming to a game forum such as this and posting a rant of this nature doesn't do anyone any good. though admittedly I bet the OP feels better about himself.
At least posts like this are good for a laugh if nothing else!!!!
Ripper McGee's review
If you don't like the game, fine. Don't be an ass about it...
~Ripper McGee
Hey i beta tested this game and actually liked it...and i dont like alot of games. To the OP, dude get a grip, a life, or a friend or whatever. Dont talk crap about a game you know nothing about. Your just flapping your gums because you went to the site, read the features, decided it wasnt like the other "games" you claim to play, and you wanted to trash it....OR you simply suck at what you already play, got ganked so bad earlier tonight that you cried while listening to some Britney Spears or Hilary Duff or whatever, picked this game randomly (or simply because its coming out real soon) and decided to act like you hate it out of pure gamer frustration. Dude your comments are as pointless as a church choir group full of deaf people...go play your games and leave this one alone. geez...
to make one thing clear guys, NCSoft sent me a Beta invite, i didnt ask for it. I am having 2 COH, 2 Lineage2 and 1 GW accounts.
i dont know why they thought i would actually like this unprofessional crap.
if they release this game i can only laugh about the people playing it
2) The game is literally being developed by a total of 9 people. That's right, 9. For a free game with inherited code and a small staff, its' great!
3) All of your arguments are ridiculous and have no factual merit. Your only other tactic, thus far, is to insult the players that do like the game.
4) The game is released. It entered limited release in December 2006 and public release today...
~Ripper
I'm actually very happy that posts like these exist.
See there are 6 types of players when it comes to a game
Those that haven't played it, those that enjoy it and those that hate it. And for each of these categories there's the friendly and mature type and there's the not friendly and not mature type.
In this case we're dealing with a unfriendly immature player who hated the game ( OP. )
This post has effect on 5 types of gamers.
Those that enjoy it will try to defend it. Either by flaming the OP ( immature and unfriendly ones ) or by giving arguments ( mature and friendly. )
Those that are immature and unfriendly and hate the game will support the OP. ( mature and friendly that hate the game just leave it alone unless you ask them directly. They don't go searching for trouble. )
And those that haven't played it either look at the title of the post and then decide that the game sucks ( immature and unfriendly variant ) or they read the entire topic and in the case of a semi-positive conclusion and a free game they try it out for themselves ( mature and friendly variant )
So all this post achieves is keeping the idiot out of the game.
As for me, I'm currently downloading it to see how it plays. I mean it's free. Only takes 90 minutes to get ready. What to lose?
We are the bunny.
Resistance is futile.

this post right here proves that you are either a 12 year old kid or an egotistical jackass
you can not like that game and thats fine, it isnt the best thing around. Go ahead and bash the game, but your not even bashing the game, your bashing the people playing it. I know this is really off topic, but i just wanted to point out that you have some issues if you get bored enough to tell people how much they suck cause of what games they play
lmfao at this moron. Next time you want to attempt an insult...make sure your level of education surpasses the 4th grade. Try learning how to SPELL before you try typing up insults for your post.
i prefer to be the jackass
i hope i kept many people from even downloading this junk.
i expected some bashing, and i dont care one little.
12 years old ? nope. just no native English and maybe it sounds like a 12 year old for you, i dont care either
i dont hate this game. i dont want people wasteing their money on unfinished trash.
some will agree with me after they played it for the 1st time.
this game is for the poor person with no money and no job and with an old PC with crappy specs.
well if you have an old P3-700 with a Riva 128 VGA card then this is the game for you, no doubt
happy bashing fools
don't know what you expected from "free"
it supposed to look exagerated and cartoonish, and, of course, play like a Gauntlet Legends game. Now I'm not 100% sure, but I THINK NCSoft has a few more *serious* MMO's they put their full time/effort into..... *cough*
