You button mash your basic attack to slay wave after never ending wave of monsters. The game mechanics are exactly what one could expect from a Diablo clone. The game centers around the town for the main hub, where the story is advanced and the player ventures out into the surrounding areas that include dungeons, forests and snow-covered mountains. The player can choose one of three heroes, drawing inspiration from all the fantasy games that came before it and gives us the choice warrior, rogue and mage, making sure the three main heroic archetypes are addressed in the safest and laziest way possible. The game at least seems self aware enough to know that this is not an epic RPG where the story development is paramount to the experience and thusly doesn’t waste too much of the player’s time with cutscenes and exposition. Playing as the risen dead to fulfill some sort of prophetic heroic deed seems like it has potential for an interesting story, but like everything else in Dungeon Hunter: Alliance, the paper thin story feels derivative and generic. The player steps into the shoes of a dead king, resurrected to protect the kingdom from its impending demise.

It was a launch title for the Vita back in February of 2012, and it’s a port of a 2011 PlayStation 3 game which was a remake of a 2009 iOS game. Dungeon Hunter: Alliance belongs to latter category.ĭungeon Hunter: Alliance is a fantasy hack and slash dungeon crawler. There are also many titles that are not worth remembering, however, destined to collect dust in a bargain bin clearance casket. Despite losing the handheld war, there are many great games available for the Vita that made the handheld platform worth owning. The library of their dual-screened handhelds with established franchises were too much for Sony, and the Switch was the final nail in Sony’s handheld endeavors. ![]() Like the PlayStation Portable before it, the Vita was never able to breakthrough Nintendo’s dominance in the handheld market.
