Dungeon Defenders II is an upcoming free-to-play Action Tower Defense game, based on the popular Dungeon Defenders. It features classic role playing elements like loot and leveling but the gameplay is challenging and rewarding. The game is advertized as a future free-to-play game with early access available as of 12/05/14 in pay-to-support model. Play by yourself or with up to three friends in 4-player online co-op. The Old Ones’ armies have invaded and it’s up to you and your friends to push them back. Level up a team of heroes and build the ultimate defense on your quest to save Etheria.
In Dungeon Defenders II, there are two main game-play stages. First you need to prepare for a big wave of different types of monsters. There is a countdown at this stage and you must quickly use strategic thinking and your moving across the map to lay down traps and all sorts of magic spells used as automatic defenses. In the second stage, you battle those waves of monsters in real time, with your character’s build and weapons (and pet), while keeping an eye on your defense structures to prevent them from breaking down under the fierce and brutal might of these monsters as they will break anything that blocks their way to your nexus.
