This hack-and-slash dungeon romp has all the essential
characteristics of a fantasy massively multiplayer online game. You
collect gear and experience from randomly generated dungeon layouts
to build a skill-based character in a game world populated by other
online players.
The purposely light-hearted game doesn't have a huge amount of
depth. But the action-packed gameplay and tongue-in-cheek touches
such as NPC vendors with a Schwarzenegger-like accent, or a
character ability that creates a giant turkey drumstick to distract
monsters, make for a fun diversion.
The game is free to download and play. Free players will see
in-game ads and can't use all of the more flashy weapons and armor,
but they can progress through the entire game. Paying the $5 a
month membership fee removes the ads and gear limitations, provides
more bank space and offers a few other benefits.
Note: The download link leads to the developer's download
site.

Strengths: Community Is the number one best thing about the game. Secondly I would have to say the Developement team, they are constantly working with the player base and talking to us getting our input. The humor is hilarious and is so needed in a game, so many MMO's are taken to serious.
Weaknesses: At the time there are no Major Epic like quests to really immerse your self in. Posibbly being addressed in the future.
Overall Evaluation: This is one of the best MMOs that I have ever played because of the devs desire to not make it like every other MMO out there. The community that plays it also see that and do there best to help other players instead like so many other MMO's Horde information and Items for themselves.

Strengths: All the familiar fun of serious MMOs with the benifit of casual play. The games sense of humor is great. The developers have an active involvement with the players, both in game and on the forums. They actually take suggestions and new ideas from players and implement them.
Weaknesses: There is a bit of repitition to the monster types. However the development team has grown and given time this too will improve.
Overall Evaluation: I played the game for an hour and then decided to become a paying member. The overall community is very nice and helpful. The casual game play is fantastic, I can play for ten minutes or half of a day and have fun. The programmers are continuing to add content and perks to the game. I have played other MMOs and Dungeon Runners is bay far my favorite.

Strengths: Fun, easy to start playing, diverse, great community, exceptional development team. Free to play. Lots of loot and bizarrely hilarious monsters to kill.
Weaknesses: none to speak of
Overall Evaluation: Dungeon Runners is a perfect fit for those who don't want to obligate themselves to a marathon play session every time they sit down. The forums are filled with interesting, helpful and humorous posts (and posters.) The developers are first-rate and responsive to their players' wishes, even answering questios on the forums themselves. It is also not unusual to have one of them show up in gameplay alongside you. Free to play, cheap to get full bennies. New additions and enhancements added regularly. Best game I have played in years!
