The loading times are painfully long, for instance, and for a game with such rudimentary isometric graphics it's surprisingly susceptible to slowdown and perfomance hitches in the height of battle. I wish that this was an isolated instance, but Dungeon Hunter: Alliance - Gameloft's crude clone of Diablo, complete with random loot drops, endless critters to bash, a tree of skills, and a row of spells - frequently falls apart. The troll blips in and out of existence about six times before I give up and switch to a sword. We keep up this charade, repeating it over and over again, until it sinks in: Ubisoft has simply published a shambles. The ugly monster proceeds to teleport across the level and magic back into existence on the other side of the room: only now with a fully-replenished health bar. I give chase and then, *poof*, the troll disappears into thin air. It works well for a moment, but he soon cottons on and starts to scamper away. So I switch to a crossbow and decide to hang back and attack from afar.
He may be slow and dimwitted, but his giant mitts do critical damage if they connect with my Level 5 rogue's bonce. I'm deep within the Goblin King's lair, and after wailing on about 150 identical goblin minions I'm importuned by a lumbering troll. The Little Mermaid, directed by Rob Marshall, opens in theaters nationwide on May 26, 2023.There was one very specific moment when I realised that Gameloft's action role-player Dungeon Hunter isn't just a bad game - it's a miserable, technically incompetent mess.
She makes a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, which gives her a chance to experience life on land, but ultimately places her life – and her father’s crown – in jeopardy. While mermaids are forbidden to interact with humans, Ariel must follow her heart.
The youngest of King Triton’s daughters, and the most defiant, Ariel longs to find out more about the world beyond the sea, and while visiting the surface, falls for the dashing Prince Eric. The Little Mermaid is the beloved story of Ariel, a beautiful and spirited young mermaid with a thirst for adventure. The film stars Halle Bailey as Ariel, Daveed Diggs as the voice of Sebastian, Jacob Tremblay as the voice of Flounder, Awkwafina as the voice of Scuttle, Jonah Hauer-King as Prince Eric, Art Malik as Sir Grimsby, Noma Dumezweni as Queen Selina, Javier Bardem as King Triton, and Melissa McCarthy as Ursula. While Dungeon Hunter: Alliance thrives on its huge battles, it's difficult to survive when your life disappears in jagged cuts and mashing your special skills doesn't translate to the stuttering fight onscreen.Ĭheck out the teaser trailer for The Little Mermaid, the upcoming live-action reimagining of the animated musical classic. All of these enemy problems are dwarfed by the true enemy of combat: a terrible frame rate. Other times, when enemies retreat they'll suddenly disappear for unspecified reasons.
This wouldn't be such a problem if the hit detection was better, but we're talking invisible threats. Thus, when a swarm of wolves chase you behind a tree, you're swinging blind, hoping to survive the encounter. While the player shows up as a blue outline behind 3D objects like arches and trees, enemies don't. The plentiful enemies regularly surround and attack the hero, but it's easy to lose track of them. Between loot and the reliance on potions, Dungeon Hunter: Alliance never lets you trounce enemies that regularly rubberband up to match your current strength. While loot is plentiful, it never makes you feel all-powerful. Each area's earmarked by a statue that sells them, and there's no way to battle through a given area without filling up regularly. Most gold goes to purchasing potions, the only way to survive in Dungeon Hunter. Compounded with the option to auto-transmute items into gold, inventory management is super easy and adding coins to your gold stash simple. When bashing in the skull of a skeleton or gargoyle or spider, the loot drops give purpose to the fight Filling up the inventory with varied tools gets a boost from the auto-equip function that automatically throws on more powerful items.
