  1. It's not often that a free MMO shares shares space with World of Warcraft on my desktop, but Duneon Runners changed all that with a splash of Diablo-inspired gameplay that lets you roam randomly generated dungeons as one of three classes. [Sept 2007, p.64]
  2. Between the easy to learn interface, the "Monty Python" comedic theme and the FREE part... Dungeon Runners plays better than most pay-to-play MMOs, and therefore deserves attention.
  3. Despite the problems, it's such a huge amount of fun. However, at free, and near-as-dammit for the membership, we throw caution to the wind. It pokes excellent fun at a pompous genre (although WoW does an occasionally decent job of this too), and remains very playable.
  4. Don't knock a mark in the 70s. This game IS worth playing. [Aug 2007, p.90]

    This game is very good if u ask me, with an inventory system like diablo and gameplay to match (but not beat) WoW, however its not for the hardcore gamer, as the monsters look almost exactly the same as u get higher and higher, good if u want to play it for an hour or so at a time. Not to mention its free. But the really good stuff comes at a mere $5 dollars a month like the game every 10 year old has played, Runescape, graphics are much better i might add, but holding down the LMB has had some consequences... And it can be quite funny at times, but there is only ONE town, and its name wasn't given much thought, Townston. It might have been better with two towns, but i doubt the name would have been much better (Townsville perhaps?). 9/10 from me. Give it a shot. Expand

    Give this game a chance you won't regret it, the graphics are good and the gameplay is very similar to PS2 Baulders Gate. Play for while on your own to get the hang of it, level up a few times then i suggest Auto joining a group for a really fun hack and slash adventure with new friends. Just don't be suprised if some of them are 9 yr olds. Expand

    Well its free and more fun than Silkroad (Grinding for experience is not my idea of fun). Good fun even without membership, but nothing too amazing.
