Aug. 2024

Underappreciated and so much fun. Wish this game had better marketing

July 2024

Mixed feelings about this game. The graphics and characters are great but the combat system does seem to take a while to get used to. I really like the characters but the learning curve is real.

July 2024

The main unfortunate thing about this game is that today's gamers have different expectations from new fighting game releases. They want frequent patches, and low turnaround time on new content after release. This game has had infrequent patches, and didn't launch any new content for the game for about one year after release. I say all the above simply to explain why the concurrent player count is low. Between that and the lack of support of the competitive scene, those are why this game never really took off. All that being said, I think it's worth buying if you're a fan of any of Eighting's previous 2D fighting games. They really know their stuff, and it shines through in this game. The characters all have distinct playstyles, and at this point, the game feels a lot more balanced than it did near launch. I strongly recommend it. Especially if you have people to play with.

April 2024

Tonight I randomly decided to read some of these reviews and I can't believe the shallowness of the top negative ones. I knew these were mixed: I expected to see legitimate complaints about the historical lack of support and communication from the publisher/devs, maybe matchmaking glitches, balance problems, people still complaining about Swift Master... but no, it's mostly about how the game is "dead". Seriously? I get why people think the game is "dead" because, um, yeah, if I try to queue up at 1AM US/Eastern on a Wednesday I'm going to be lucky if I waiting for 10-20 minutes just to finally match with someone playing in another hemisphere. But for me, just jumping on after work for an hour or two over about 3 weeks, I've gotten close to 400 matches, many of which were fun and competitive over pretty solid connections. So you WILL get some matches, AND the game has a good community, so I wouldn't even call it dead. Even if it was dead, that's a lousy reason to give DNF a thumbs-down. That's like calling Christmas a crappy holiday just because nobody's celebrating it right now in April. Get on one or more of the DNF Discord servers (links happen to be on the Dustloop page) to see how this game's being celebrated every week of the year. I almost don't want to explain why the game's a good time; I'm just a scrub getting gatekept out of Terranite by matchups I don't understand yet. I still don't know the best times to guard cancel. I occasionally get blown up for doing something silly just because I thought it would be funny if it worked. Truth is, it was funny anyway. It's a funny game. I've had more fun per match with random folks in DNF than in any of its peers. YES, the full-screen normals are really something and the long touch-of-death combos won't be for everyone (truthfully, not even me), but this game's got some really unique and intuitive systems that are complemented well by the scenery and the enjoyable characters to produce a genuinely unique and satisfying experience. My recommendation is that if you're bored with whatever fighting game you're playing currently (for me this was mostly GBVSR) give DNF a shot. Just pick whichever character you think is cool/hot and you'll probably find a refreshing surprise.

Dec. 2023

The bombarding of negative reviews for reasons not exclusive to but including "not enough people in the matchmaking" is doing this REALLY fun game no favours, like a gross self-fulfilling prophecy. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any fan of crazy fighting games.
