We’re checking out one of those older MMOs that is still around after years. And is actually expanding its brand in the near future. Dungeon Fighter Online is a 2d arcade style beat em up MMO with a ton of classes, amazing art style and just about as many systems and UIs as you would expect from a 17 year old MMO. So how is this old man doing in 2022? Let’s start a fresh account and find out.

26.01.2023I thought this game didn't exist anymore, thank you
Too Distant
22.01.2023They shoulda got rid of fatigue
D S
22.01.2023this game got popular because of it's retro taste of the Super Nintendo style side scroller, and a stylish Anime character design, the remakes got nothing of these, such a waste
eilois ♪
08.01.2023USD 20 billions lifetime revenue, it's insane
Embers
08.01.2023The art and gameplay are incredible but with how fashion is the endgame and thats completely gated behind real money, I think I'll hold out for a different game in the DFO universe.
idk
08.01.2023I can only say that where other mmos have always bored me in the end, DFO got me coming back even after years. But I feel I only like it because its almost like a solo game, kinda like PoE is online but also mostly a solo game
like dont get me wrong the group content(raids and special dgs) is there, but everything outside of raids can be solod with the knowhow and power
Seema Anwar
15.12.2022Bro u speak so fast that I had to play it a slow speed
dogownerjr
08.12.2022I've hopped back and forth between this game and Maplestory for YEARS when I needed to take a break from more competitive games. The variety of characters is what makes the game great in my opinion. There's some really unique playstyles and a character for everyone.
Crudscar
08.12.2022Yeah so everybody generally is in the higher-level channels. With the amount of events they do so new players can continue to play the new content that they add in. And since the release of 110 it gave the game a new lease on life. Since the lower levels of dfo generally 85-100 you had to grind for full sets of gear in-order to get set bonus which were very powerful and made the set but they got rid of set bonus's and gave the the epics a reason to be used to level up epics you like instead so even if you got something that had no use to you, you could use it to make the item you have better. Its still pretty grindy but now all epics have a use except as fodder for farming hell mode. The new system is fun and you can make your own builds but some times are a must like the bleed bracelet and the 2 tone ring. Its been nice power leveling to the new content with grinding being less annoying now the epics drop more fucking often and hell mode is gone.
JinTekyta
01.12.2022In DFO's case, because it already took so long to get on steam, and the steam integration is so… not spectacular. I think it's safe to say the concurrent players on Steam are a fraction of the people actually playing it. In fact. I don't know anyone that actually launches the game with Steam, personally, at the very least.
divinedeva84
26.11.2022Wish this game came out on console too some people don't have a sweet pc

21.11.2022Bro. I lived in China and the west. Game like this and on steam? Will never attract players from the west lmao. Let’s just say it’s too greedy, gambly and you need to pay.
ShinAngelo Games
20.11.2022Hi coppersan!! love you maple content. however this is a game i love and been in from the dark DARK ages. about the game being dead. nope! you was doing lvling even so its kinda like you was in your own worlds. once you come out you'd see ALLOT of players. and as pointed out. MOST players are at the raids and other endgame content 😀 There's also fashionfighter or Dressupfighteronline. where allot of us dress up and or cosplay characters from different anime. I do Admit tho, they leave you to figure out ALLOT on you own. but theres allot of nice players who will help you learn, lest that was my experience. so please everyone dont be afraid to try this game out 😀
Vincent Paul
13.11.2022Well enough for a fighting game apparently. But that game isn't doing to well
Gabriel Pires
11.11.2022i love this game, i play since 2012 or so, but the fatigue system is sadly too boring, took around 14 days to level 100 playing every day but the complexity of all classes are simply amazing
Momchil Momchilov
10.11.2022This is my main game for a couple of years and it's so cool that you actually made a video about it, why it didn't show up 2 days ago I don't know, but better late than never.
Srobson Scosta
10.11.2022pls everyone, to the question of: where is everyone? know that MOST PLAYERS only START LOOKING FOR PARTIES at lvl 110 for ADVANCED DUNGEONS. And no one is gonna party with you to level up for level up events, sorry.
נדב חנינה
10.11.2022Coppersan i need your help please !!I already collected day 1,2,3 of the iginition warm-up event and i didnt know it will expire before the ignition event.What can i do to transfer it somehow to the new character on hyper burn ?
Saulo Silva
10.11.2022Any news on Wonderking btw?
JustZach
10.11.2022Coppersan do you still play DFO or did you just play for the video?
1999
10.11.2022I'll be back soon. Just gotta get more settled with work and shit. The game is time consuming af so this 1 year + break has been good for me.
Alvaro Maguiña
08.11.2022I always thought this game was promising and had a really interesting gameplay style.
Sadly you can definitely feel the systems and UI are a bit dated
The class variety is definitely a huge plus though
Melvin Cruz
08.11.2022i knew the part about project bbq coming but i didnt know they scrapped it for a console like souls game UwU but the 2d game is still fun on pc
Artur Soares
08.11.2022I tried to play but my account was banned as soon as I downloaded it from steam.🤷♂

08.11.2022This game was FANTASTIC early in its life cause all of the characters had really unique play styles and since enemies didn’t just melt from one auto attack you would learn how to play your character while leveling which helped when coming to the Raid Boss content.
But as they moved towards quick progression so that newer players could catch up to the main content they solved a problem while creating a new one.
New players would be able to level up and then be able to play current content but then the newer players had less experience piloting their characters so raid content was harder to do with randoms.
Still a great game but only if you’re in the long term player group.
ReaperX7
08.11.2022It's still kind of popular with the fighting game crowds that like to cross over with RPGs, but yeah it's seen better days though.
SynisterySin
08.11.2022I've been playing just about every day since re-release. I have always enjoyed the game for it's combat and graphics. Hell, I was even playing during the Nexon days since CBT. Sadly, even with the new content releases the player base is kind of on the lacking side unless youre at the end game content. Everyone is at capped and it is just an endless grind to raise your gears Option levels. I don't see alot of players like I used to and some of my guild mates have been logging on less lately..sad.
Bacon_Apocalypse
08.11.2022Most of the ENG community plays on the official client and not steam because of some of the bugs you mentioned. As for where the players are in game, most are at the end game dungeon, raid, or fashion/market channels. With the next few updates being end game focused leading upto the Bakal raid release, most people are focusing on getting their characters high enough item level for it. Smaller player base and all. Leveling is about 10% of the content now a days, with the event usually taking about 5-6 hours to hit 100, if you wanted to see the raids, they function like FF14 alliance raids and the gearing/farming in lvl 110 cap is similar to PoE.

08.11.2022wondering why DFO sounded familiar
See's Rose who cameo'd in Elsword
ah, now I remember.
Golden Boy
07.11.2022Player here that has been playing both DFO and Maple on and off for the past 3 years ~ I actually love both games for similar reasons: Artstyle, Combat Feel and Community! I feel Dungeon Fighter does a lot better in terms of group content (Raids, Advance Dungeons) but is quite overwhelming for new players. MapleStory definetly does a lot better in picking people up and the progression is super clear. Neople is doing a lot of events for newbies but I always felt the most this game would benefit from, where clear guides and a lot more handholding to pick people up along their way.
There are a few great content creators for Dungeon Fighter but sadly not as many as for Maple, so seeing my favorite Maple content creator do a video on the game made me super happy 🙂 Hope you had fun and all I can say is: Try your shot at the endgame for a while, maybe you find another game for yourself beside Maple to play when one of them is burning out on you ~ Cheers!

07.11.2022Quit at the start of prey raid. Heavy daily feels like doing a job, also very money-consuming
RUL3R
07.11.2022Man, I grew up with this game from the start of its NA launch to its slow and overtime death from Nexon to the now current day version. It's sad to see how few people play it now, but to answer Coppersans question of "where are the players" they are there, they are just all in the new early game now. Literally 100+ is the bulk of your experience now which is why you are rushed to the top level so fast. When you hit high level play you wwill run into all of the playerbase; early game is just a tutorial to prep you for the REAL "early game" at 100+ now. But I agree, it shows its age heavily now and feels like an old school and old timey MMO. The stamina system especially, in 2022. Also, that Overkill game looks really promising but at the same time worries me since it's 3D models that it wont do as well as the OG since the OG has beautiful 2D sprites.
Paduan
07.11.2022Loved playing dungeon fighters when it first came out… when nexon removed it from the servers I was kind of sad Ngl. The only reason I haven’t played it again is because I moved on. Maplestory is hard to resist sometimes out of nostalgia but, annoying when it’s time
Consuming for leveling & using real money for gear or time for reboot.

07.11.2022Aah Nou ik geef het een kans wie weet?
Goeije Review trouwens.👍 Groeten Remcoo1 / Vliegtraan.

07.11.2022What's the theme that plays around 5:40?
messitup
07.11.2022As a newbie mapler and veteran DFO player, I can say that there are definitely a lot of similarities between the two. the pvp scene in DFO global is almost non existent, however every active in korea. the "legion" system in DFO isn't as crucial as it is in maplestory for character progression. DFO think really appeals to "kids" that used to play alot of side scroller games, or fighting games like King of the fighters and such. nevertheless, both games are great, dfo is less grindy!
Vermi219
07.11.2022The most fun class in DFO would be monk for me,bit a of a pain to level before getting a specific talisman but after that the gameplay is just so dynamic,like dodging around and smashing things the way these types of streets of rage-like games are designed for.
mckhus
06.11.2022Ah my suggestion! Might give it a go with the levelling event at just to mess around at some point. I like the art a lot. The phone version sounds cool but I’m afraid they will nuke any coolness of the game like they did with maple m and just turn it into slot machine
Forsefire
06.11.2022MapleStory looking kinda different 👀👀

06.11.2022DFO player here, yeah, i've been playing for years so i'm used to the UI and systems, but for a new player i agree that it can be overwealming, as for where the players are, well, they are in end game zones, but if you look at the world chat and the auction house you can still see that the population is decent, i wouldn't say it's dead, but it's definetely a game that shows it's age, but dispite all that it's still doing decently well for itself, since it fills a niche.
As for project overkill, i'm not sure how i feel about it, the biggest charm of DFO is the sprite based artwork, which is fantastic and not something you see everyday, turning it into 3D will definetely make it lose it's charm.
And as for Project BBQ being turned into a souls like game…that's going to be interesting to say the least LOL.
One of the things i like the most about DFO is that i can actualy reach end game content within a resonable amount of time and lvling up is easy. On top of that prety much all end-game content can be soloed, even raids have a solo mode, which is awsome. Also the soundtrack is fantastic. The fatigue system isn't really much of an issue at max level honestly.
I used to play both maple story and DFO as my main MMOs, but i quite Maple Story and still play DFO, in the end i just felt like DFO was the better game, and….was run by a better company, or atleast the team working on the global server for DFO actualy cares.
Snufkin Enjoyer
06.11.2022Honestly the fatigue system is only really an issue while you're leveling. I truly wish this game was more popular, the beatemup gameplay is SO fun and all the classes are sooooo insane.
C1
06.11.2022Dungeon Fighter is the grindiest game Ive ever played farming Epics (high end equipment) is RNG based and the pool of items has every single epic from every set on top of that the drop rates are very low (like Cpap Mark Low), they made some effort a few years ago to give players the ability to break those items and craft the ones you need but you need to have so many epics to break them and craft the one you need and whenever a new update gets release and a new set gets released if you dont have a full team (geared up with the previous endgame gear maxed) to do the new content you're pretty much screwed (or you buy carries). the up side is that the game is still considered F2P since there is no way to buy epic gears just more tries but you have the stamina limit so everyone is more or less screwed equally.
When I got to level 100 as an Avenger the same class you played I just went into the training room and smashed things with my cool skills when I ran out of story quests or stamina
shad0wca5t3r
06.11.2022I've played DFO on and off for years now, it's so true that the game tells you very little about the systems of the game. I did noticed they put tutorial quests in when lvl 110 update dropped to explain systems, but those only show up at higher levels and my guild mates and I still take time to explain things ourselves to newer players
Firdaus Isaac
06.11.2022i used to play this game when I was a kid . and somehow it outgrew me
Seth Kizna
06.11.2022when i tried this game for the first time, i aways was without (stamina) to keep playing, so i decide to quit xD
really good game, but i dont like games who have stamina like elsword etc…

06.11.2022It should be on PSN
