Cons
Con Uninspiring PvP mode
Dungeon Hunter 5 receives most of its praise for the single player and co-op campaigns, but the player versus player mode is uninspiring and not very fun to play.
Con In app purchases used to remove false limitations
The main aspect of the included in app purchases is to remove wait times and long grinding sessions. Of course the game was specifically designed to have the obstacles in order to force players into paying repeatedly over the games life. Essentially, an endless money suck.
With in app purchases ranging from $0.99 - $99.99 per item it is pretty obvious that the game was designed to pull in as much money as they can convince people to plunk down.
Con Advertisements during gameplay sequences
There are large advertisements that pop up throughout the games menus and even right before boss fights.
Con In app purchases
Any free to play game needs a way to make money and Dungeon Quest is no different. There are many items that one can purchase that are not too egregious such as cosmetic items like pets, but considering many of the in app purchases are temporary stat boosts and potions and only there as way to make the game easier, one has to wonder if the game was designed to be unfairly balanced in order to earn more money.
While Dungeon Quests in app purchases do not go as high as some games (ranging from $0.99-$19.99) the highest priced is still for in game currency that can be purchased over and over again, in turn making the cost of this game essentially limitless.
