148apps - Dungeon Defenders: First Wave is a mixture of tower defense and hack ‘n slash games that often go together like oil and water.
Pixel Scribes: "In the past, there have been numerous attempts at re-designing and mixing mainstream genres, and many games have been successful at doing so. Unfortunately, many others haven’t, and Dungeon Defenders: First Wave is one such game. Just the second App on iOS to use the Unreal Engine, Dungeon Defenders: First Wave, developed by Trendy Entertainment, attempts to creating a hybrid of a tower defence game, a hack’n’slash and even throws in a couple of RPG elements for good measure, yet sadly it doesn’t quite live up to the hype."
GRTV caught up with Trendy Entertainment's Philip Asher to talk about the upcoming tower defence/action-RPG Dungeon Defenders at the Gamespy booth at GDC.
I was interested in this game, but they kept delaying it because of something to do with Microsoft and so when it does come out there will be alot of other quality games vying for my money at the same time.... so I think it is likely I will pass on this now.
I will wait and see at the time it actually comes out though, it might still be worth a look!
Dungeon Defenders: First Wave is a genre-blending title that takes a third-person action game and throws in tower defense mechanics. You pick one of four classes, and then jump into arenas with up to three other players and attempt to defend a crystal from waves of enemies.
This is just too good to pass up. Cross platform co-op PC & PS3 even with mobiles?
Microsoft dug themselves a very DEEP hole of FAIL!!!
