Nov. 2024

If you are looking for a good competitive fighting game to play online, look elsewhere 'cause this definitely ain't it. If you're looking for an utterly ridiculous fighting game where every single character has some of the most busted and hilariously broken options or a game to have some very silly fights with a friend in, this is the pinnacle of that. Every single character in this game is completely busted. Giant hitboxes that take up half the screen that are active for over a second, creating a wall behind your opponent at any time, probably half the cast or more having installs that let them cancel any special into any other special, etc. This game was not built with a competitive playstyle in mind. This game was built perfectly for playing either locally or in a discord call and just having a stupid fun time with. Absolutely give this a shot if utter nonsense with a friend sounds like a great time. Just probably get it on sale since $50 is a bit steep.

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.
