March 2025
I really like how this game streamlined the 1st Dungeon Defenders format. The heroes are better designed and the towers have more variation. That combined with quickly changing between multiple heroes on the fly really helps this game play a lot smoother. Frankly, it's better than the original game in every way EXCEPT the lack of local multiplayer. I'm still mad at it for not implementing 4-player co-op though. I don't think it even has split screen on Switch. Either way, this is way more enjoyable to play with my kids than the first one that's just a grind fest. If you like tower defense games, it's pretty fun. Not the best. Not the worst. But I like it.

Great game, value for money is amazing. spent almost 200 hours in game to date and can happily play 200 more. Has a few bugs that are getting fixed by developers but for a crowd funded game its good.

Honestly a good game, not sure what the negative reviews are on about. If you liked DD1 I think you'll like this game!

One of my "pandemic lockdown" games in 2020, clocked over 300 hours then. Recently came back, this is a good semi-afk game; once you have your setup running, it involves a lot of semi-AFK farming for equipment. You can watch videos, do some light reading while this runs on another device. There are still a lot of hands-on situations, such as when transitioning to higher difficulties or maximising your push into higher and higher waves. Comparing this to 2018 Dungeon Defenders 2, I like this more. The progression rate feels reasonable. You don't need to pay to expand your stash either. Currently, there is a Steam guide that really helps new/returning players to adjust to the game. I have to clarify the multiplayer is mostly dead, you'll have to play solo most of the time. Progression doesn't seem to require other players (tested in endgame Massacre Survival Hard Core Rifted). In terms of bugs, there are some, but far fewer than it was in 2020. I still don't know how to reduce some of the blinding flashes from certain defense towers, turning down the graphics settings doesn't get rid of it completely (do take note if you're photosensitive). It also gets quite annoying to have to make multiple of the same characters to serve different purposes, for example one Guardian for Owl Perch towers, another for Obelisk towers. This is mainly for endgame though. Note this game also involves a lot of loot, so if you're not used to ARPGs or games with loot filters, that part might suck for you. It would be better if it had an option auto-start timer for solo Survival farming. Also, having an option auto casting for boost monks/apprentice would be useful too.

Needs more content and has a few bugs but is my favourite dungeon defenders game so far. the QOL and more balanced features are what really got me into it, as development is fair throughout the game.
