Each of them have different abilities (which can be built up via quests), and you can chop and change which one you want guarding you at any time via menus. As you progress through the game, you meet other faeiries who join your quest. In addition to him, you are always followed by a faerie.

Mage, the magical debuffing class, specialises to Shadowmancer or Illusionist.ĭuring the early quests of Dungeon Hunter 2, you're guided around by the character who rescued you in the intro animation of the game – Rene. Rogues, the ranged class, specialises to Archer or Deathwalker (stealth). Warriors, the melee class, specialise to Beserker or Crusader. As you advance through the game, you'll eventually have to choose from two specialisations in each class. When you start “rolling” your character, you have to choose from three broad classes, Warrior, Rogue, or Mage. This has the advantage of freeing up your other thumb to access the many combat related buttons, but it also means that you can often lose sight of your character behind scenery, because you can't 'look around the corner'. Just as this control method was looking like a new standard, Dungeon Hunter 2 does away with it in favour of a fixed camera angle. In the other two big RPG titles I've reviewed for All About Symbian ( Crusade of Destiny and Eternal Legacy HD), the control method has been such that character movement was controlled by one thumb, and camera angle was controlled by the other. This really serves to give a signature style that differentiates it from the other big role playing game (RPG) titles available on the Ovi Store. Throughout all of the various environments in Dungeon Hunter 2, lighting is extensively used to add a real sense of atmosphere to the game. Just as I said about Eternal Legacy (also by Gameloft), these graphics wouldn't have looked out of place on a games console just a few short years ago. Throughout the game, we're treated to beautiful and smoothly rendered 3D graphics. Gameloft have provided yet another graphical extravaganza with Dungeon Hunter 2.

You and Rene coming face to face with the evil Edward! You reluctantly take on the quest to de-throne your evil brother Edward and put a stop to his dark-arts fuelled reign of terror over the land. The story is told via frequent text-based dialogues between characters, throughout the game. You play the good brother, who goes by any name you choose (I thought David was a good choice!), who is rescued from exile by Rene the preist and one of several faeries. The world of Gothicus is a realm of swords and sorcery. Dungeon Hunter 2 tells the story of two immortal brothers, born of the Gothican king, and rivals for the throne.
