Dungeon Defenders: How da heck u play this game?

[MJ12]

So due to it's popularity, I bought Dungeon Defenders when it was 3 bucks or whatever last week. I was pretty eager because it sounds like people really love this game or whateva. I also heard it's very simple, which interested me since I only have time for casual stuff at the moment.

I get in the game, there is no tutorial, the UI is confusing as f*ckkkkkkkkk, then I finally get into a game and there is just shit everywhere, and all these little menus popping up that I hardly have time to read. Am I the only one who thinks this game is just a massive, confusing eye sore? I tried to play again, and after finally getting into a "regular" game it was just so goddamn confusing, I gave up and left.

Get Orcs Must Die instead.

 

[MJ12]

Already have it and love it. Just wish it have Multiplayer and leveling.

I looked up dungeon defenders after really getting into Orcs Must Die, but it just looks like a giant cluster****. I prefer the simplicity of OMD.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

Will this run on my 486?

 

[Bad^Hat]

I uh, downloaded the demo and there was a tutorial. Try going through single player.

Edit: Oh, and don't play the wizard. It'll recommend him but he's ****ing stupid and boring.

 

[Lucid]

Awful console port, don't even bother with it.

 

[Bad^Hat]

I especially liked the narrator telling me to press the X button, right bumper, etc. :3

It's great fun with 4 people if you have the controllers and a projector for split-screen.

While I haven't played it locally on the same comp, I played with 2-3 other friends for 30+ hours and had a ton of fun.

I can see it being pretty difficult to just jump into, but the game is designed for coop. It's a lot harder to play by yourself when you first start (depending on your class).

I'd be down to get a game together sometime soon if you guys want. I could start a new character so I don't completely throw off the balance.

 

[Edeslash]

I felt just like ZT when I started. If you guys are up for trying the co-op mode, I'd love a chance to get into this game.

 

[Hazar]

Co op is definitely where it's at. First run through we went as Monk and Wizard which worked out really well. The ranger and knight play a lot differently and has been a lot harder so far.

There is a tutorial, you have to play a local network game, and a prompt will ask you if you want to play the tutorial

Dungeon defender is best played less than casually.

Bought this game during sale, have over 200 hours.

[Stigmata]

Dungeon Defenders is amazing. Orcs Must Die! is also great, but it's not the same.

 

[Vegeta897]

Fixed that for you!

 

[Edeslash]

So any chance of finding a small group of HL2.netters to play this game with? I feel like I could really get into this but none of my friends play it and it's exactly the kind of game I'll hate after playing with stupid randoms.
