Dungeon Runners now available for mass consumption (mmm, wizard stew!) - Image 1 


NCsoft's Dungeon Runners is now out, and it's free to play. This MMORPG features gameplay which has been compared to Diablo and Dungeon Siege. It's pretty awesome, however most of the game's really cool features can only be accessible if you're a paying member.

The fees are pretty low for an MMORPG, going for only US$ 4.99 a month. Becoming a member gives you the ability to use the higher end weapons, stack potions in your inventory, and access a personal "bank account" with 250 storage slots. In addition to this, you will get priority when the servers are full, i.e. you jump to the front of the queue when logging in, bypassing non-paying members.

That's all well and good, but the more important question is: what does this game have to offer you? Well, the guys at NCsoft were nice enough to provide a short list on the features on the game on their main site.

Features:
  • Three character classes: Fighter, Mage, or Ranger. Each can learn powerful magic and deadly weapon skills.
  • Progress in power as you gain levels and acquire new treasures.
  • Some dungeons can be completed quickly, rewarding those who can only invest 15 minutes a play session. Greater dungeons, however, will provide a deep, rich, questing experience for those who want to go on longer runs or multi-part quests.
  • Easy to control with either ‘WASD’ or point and click combat and movement.
  • Adventure alone or join with online friends to form your own band of heroes.
  • Undertake quests to rid the world of unspeakable horrors and legions of enemies.
  • Gather in the public area of Townston, and then quickly hop into a new adventure in your very own instanced dungeon.
  • Become a legend. Bask in the limelight as your powers, equipment, and influence grow with each successful quest and every fallen foe.
  • Randomly generated dungeons may contain any number of special rooms, different monster encounters and more! Each dungeon is always fresh, providing limitless re-playability.
  • Game content will continually grow: new maps, monsters, powers, and much, much more!
  • Literally thousands of magic weapons, items, and armor to discover!
For those who aren't willing to bite the bullet and want to keep playing for free, NCsoft has given word that this game will be free forever. That means even if you do decide to become a paying member and miss a payment, you can still enjoy the game albeit without the perks that membership grants you.

If you want to try the game out yourself, you can hop over to the Dungeon Runners site via our read link for full instructions on how to do so.
