Dungeon Runners is a game by NCsoft that trades off of the popularity of Blizzard titles WoW and Diablo II, but does it with a sense of humor. I'm not going to rehash gameplay mechanics here, but I'll give you my impressions of the experience of logging on, creating a character, and playing for about an hour. Maybe this will give you an idea of what to expect; whether or not this is something you'll want to invest any time in pursuing. Remember, this is not meant to be a strategy guide, nor an in-depth look at how to optimize your stats. This is one person's take on what it's like to play Dungeon Runners.

We'll start with character creation after the jump.

So, out of a whopping 3 choices of character class, I chose to be a Ranger, which meant that I'd get to use a crossbow. Not a standard bow, mind you, but a crossbow, which I assume had more to do with NCsoft wanting to establish some sort of resonance/distinction between DR and WoW -- it's just enough for you to make the comparison without being too overt. And what a crossbow! You get unlimited ammo and full auto rapid-fire capability; it's like owning Rambo's own weapon stock! More on the weapon later.

So, I chose to be a female -- as I always do, and I'll appreciate y'all keeping your snide comments to y'selves, thanks -- and this customization screen looks like WoW's. In fact, at this point it might be worth pointing out those bits of DR that are different than WoW, as this whole game looks like Blizzard's little brother wanted his MMO to look just like his big bro's, who he idolizes. But back to character customization: Your choices are as limited as WoW's, but the faces and hairstyles are much odder. I finally picked the Emo Special: Eyepatch over one eye, hank o' hair over the other. I don't expect an issue with aiming my weapon; call it instinct.
