It was originally planned as a small game as the entire game was developed in five months based on the forecasted life expectancy. Skills are usually performed separately from normal combos however, some skills are 'cancellable,' meaning that those skills can be used in the middle of normal attacks.ĭungeon Fighter Online was developed by a South Korean company called Neople who previously only published a number of casual online games through their own game portal site. Directly inputting the skill (done by pressing the arrow keys in a certain sequence and then pressing the basic skill key) makes the skill cost less MP and lowers the cooldown of the skill (the time needed to wait to use the skill again) by a small amount. However, a player can choose to manually input the command to perform a certain skill for example, a Blade Master can choose to press the assigned hotkey for the skill Draw Sword, but can also choose to perform its direct input. Skills can be designated upon an upper row of hotkeys, that can be further expanded by the decision of the player. There are a number of social aspects to Dungeon Fighter Online, including Guilds, PvP Arenas, Party Play. Players traverse 2D screens while fighting hordes of monsters. A spin-off fighting game, DNF Duel, was released in June 2022.ĭungeon Fighter Online is similar to classic 2D side-scrolling arcade hack and slash/ beat 'em up games, such as Golden Axe or Double Dragon. The game has received Japanese anime and manga adaptations. This also makes it one of the highest-grossing entertainment media products of all time.
