    In a world where good fighting games exist. DNF Duel does nothing new. I don't understand why they wasted their lives making game. There's no reason to pick game over any other fighting game.

There's no reason to pick game over any other fighting game. It does the bare minimum not even bothering to dub the game into English. It plays like any other fighting game story mode is basic and lacks anything beside the basic game. It doesn't a difficulty setting. Which is super annoying. They AI is dumb but also has 2 frame reaction speeds. So they block most of your attacks. Then the boss shows up with his broken move set. If you don't have a fast reaction time I don't see how you can beat him. The Ai reacts to what you do quickly and all his attacks are fast and hit hard. Do not waste your money on this game. They just made a generic fighting game and didn't do it better than anyone else. Even small indie fighting games have more to offer than this waste of money. Expand

    As it stands, DNF:Duel is not a fighter I will continue to play as it’s not the kind of experience I’m looking for in a fighting game. However, that is not to say that I don’t see the value in having a game where bombastic, overtuned characters do dumb things to each other as I don’t believe every fighter needs to be meticulously balanced and brutally deep to have a place in the FGC. All that really means is that I’ll just be watching instead of playing.

    While feeling a tad bare bones, DNF Duel still manages to be a highly entertaining 2D fighting game among many coming out this year.

    DNF Duel is fun, it’s a spectacle, it’s easy to learn, and a bit trickier to master. Its deceptive simplicity may not be for everybody, and its story may as well not have been there. But overall, it’s a good time.
