As a big Dungeon Hunter and Gameloft fan, I was excited for this game. Having it made by GOATGames instead of Gameloft didn’t bother me, as I had faith they’d work together to make a fun experience. I was wrong.
🎮 Gameplay:
DH6 isn’t an ARPG like DH5 or Diablo, despite pretending to be. It’s an auto-leveller with a gacha system behind it. Within minutes your XP level jumps from 1 to 15 as new systems unlock to grab your attention.
Between the different menus to redeem constant rewards and XP is showered upon you, you’re asked to buy IAP bundles that promise huge bumps in power level. It means nothing though as all the loot is the same and even the avatar you select for your profile raises your power level.
The gacha system gives you lieutenants, NPC party members you level up like Pokémon. However, despite raising your power level, they basically do nothing.
Every enemy is easy, your abilities are over powered, loot means nothing. All you do is power level at break neck speed, redeem endless rewards that beg for your attention then grind the raid on auto play.
🎨 Graphics:
Graphically it looks and feels cheap. The art style is very “Chinese browser MMO” style, with an ugly UI that wants to be glossy but looks tacky. Character designs are all super generic.
🎵 Sound:
Voice acting is cheesy but serviceable and the music is mostly copied from Dungeon Hunter 5.
👎 Cons:
Truth is, the game is a reskin of an older game called Eternal Hunt Dark Ancients. They just changed the names and nothing else.
💰 Value for Money:
This is a shameless, soulless, cash grab that uses an established franchise and desperately tries to engage your brain like a slot machine in hopes you drop money. There’s nearly no real gameplay, no real loot, no real anything. It’s all a bad scam and a disgrace to both Gameloft and Dungeon Hunter.
Shame on GOATGames for thinking this level of quality was remotely acceptable. Do not play this game. I’ve never been so offended in my life about a game’s state.
I remember playing Eternal Hunt: Dark Ancients in July and I had no idea Gameloft reskinned that game until I played DH6.
