Dungeon Runners is worth a look

In our latest Podcast, Episode: 005, I talked about the free to download, but now purchasable game, Dungeon Runners.  Junkfoodtony and myself really enjoyed this game and best of all its free.  The game plays a lot like any other dungeon crawling games.  Hack and slash your way through dungeons to get the good loot and progress your toon as you level up and take on tougher challenges.

Even if the game is free, it boasted some impressive graphics and best of all the game play was there.  To make it stand out from a crowd NCsoft chose to poke fun of the genre itself and make the game very humorous and tongue in check so to speak.  Hit the video to check out some game play footage.

The newest retail version of the game is a great idea for a lot of people and provides quite a bit of benefits over the free version:

• Game includes 6 Months of Premium Membership Access, which normally costs $5/month. The marketing geniuses at NCsoft® think that’s a pretty sweet deal. No Credit Card Required!
• Access the new Bling Gnome sidekicks, that help you collect loot and ‘process’ your gold. Available only with the boxed version of Dungeon Runners.
• Throw off the yoke of other MMO’s - mix & match from the ever-growing list of skills and powers to create your own custom class.
• Undertake hundreds of missions and quests to rid the world of bad guys and icky monster things.
• Gather in public meeting areas, then adventure in randomly-generated dungeons at your own pace. Turtle or rocket through at breakneck speeds - hey, it’s your neck!
• Die a shameful death as a n00b in the kiddie dungeon. Or become a legend - basking in the limelight as your powers, equipment and influence grow.
• Dungeon Runners is continually expanding to include new maps, new monsters, new powers and new features. Plus, whatever else they come up with, Woohoo!
• …oh and somebody put Exteel™ in the box.

All in all this game is worth a look.  Go download the free version and check it out.  If you like it then keep playing, but if you really want the good stuff you gotta fork over $5 dollars a month, which in reality is extremely cheap. The video below is for the 'Bling Gnome', one of the newer cooler things in the retail version of the game. The video is pretty hilarious to make sure to check it out.
