DNF Duel Review - The Final Verdict
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- With remarkably digestible combat for the genre and more unrestricted approach to where and when you can land your attacks than most of its contemporaries, DNF Duel could prove to be somewhat divisive, especially down the road once all of its nooks and crannies have been thoroughly explored by the masses.
But as with any fighting game, it really comes down to the variety, personality, and execution of its ideas - old hat or not. DNF Duel walks that dangerous tightrope between accessibility and longevity extremely well, and while that might not be a balancing act some fighting fans are even interested in, it certainly is a space worth exploring, especially if it’s going to be done this well.
Content creators for this game should be informing viewers that the Umvc3 devs helped with the combat system. That might give them a better idea of what they're getting themselves to.
Games gonna be broken as fuck
They also developed Fate unlimited code, Bloody Roar etc.
Really? Because I hate combat in that game
@@YhelloWish bloody roar was a great game
@@redcrimson1028 the combo style feels like battle for the grid though. It really does. And the windows to link stuff is pretty tight too. It doesn't really let you do early input buffers like dbfz... Like how they let you do the special move kinda early after buttons are pressed in a combo and it still comes out? Nah, none of that.
I want to get back into fighting games. This looks pretty cool
Check out guilty gear strive
Me too.
And Fighterz
@@CM-hi4db don’t say that here. Skull girls community will loose there shit if they see this
This game really needs DLC for stages and characters. Yes I’m talking about Spectre.
I mean a 16 isn’t bad at all for launch
I due time buddy
@@joeyle9015 Yes it IS bad...I mean people all said SFV was bad for having 16 characters at launch. We can't go around giving these companies excuses. When SFV had 16 it was called bad, we need to keep that same energy people. Its why this company has gotten away with 11 characters, 12 characters, 14 characters, and 16 character rosters for their games at launch...its shit. Even Capcom has learned from SFV and is doing 22 that we know of for their release. Not only that the issue with the HUGE prices for other regions is legit killing this game that its dead on arrival for some regions. The game needs fixing, attention, and content. Just wait for the complete edition at a price drop.
@@Fate862 Do you need a hug buddy? Do you know "I Feel Pretty"?
@@NihonNoMajin Why would you think 16 at launch is good? with so few stages
I love how this game looks like an actual cartoon
Excuse me, ANIME. 😂
That's how arcsystem works does things.
they use 2d techniques on 3d models.
@@MrWader76 means the same thing in the end what’s your point?
@@jico5147 you’re actually wrong tho
@@MrWader76 that or you’re getting way too mad over someone describing a game and that they like it. I’d say the ladder.
"The move sets tend to stay on the safe side"
WHAT? This game has bonkers moves and every character is nuts.
Maybe you meant the archetypes are tried and true, sure but with all the moves turned up to 11.
Characters have special moves here that would be literal supers in other games.
He definitely means it in terms of combo potential, it didn't look very exciting to me. Yes you can do a 100 hit combo but that's because a single move can hit for 60 hits, nothing wrong with that but I'm fairly sure that's what he ment
@@yupjuliansje Well I can tell you havn't played it in fairness.
There's plenty of combo potential and not just because Inquisitor Wheel lasts for an age.
Go and watch Max go through the combo trial demos. Those are just the dev combos, people are going to get wild with different combos for different scenarios and reasons.
He is wrong in that regard too but in his defence he's not a grizzled fighting game player so his knowledge would only be surface deep.
@Sparx
Like I said yeah, in the original post.
He *did* literally call the *move sets* "safe" though. In those exact words. I directly quote it.
@@yupjuliansje either way the reviewer is wrong. You should see the crazy stuff people have already figured out. This game is in no way lacking in combos or variety. One thing is for sure the reviewer doesn’t play fighting games. He did a terrible job explaining the game mechanics yet criticized them for being samey which is not true. The mechanics went over his head and he didn’t take the time to actually understand them. They are incredibly deep. Also babbled nonsense not related to the game. He criticized the game about the lack of character customization when it is a full on reference to DNF online. These characters designs are class based it wouldn’t make sense to make them customizable and would go against DNF itself. He didn’t even mention DNF Online. Terrible review.
@@dontpressbuttons8087
Also what fighting game even has customization at launch outside of colours?
MK11 is the only game with custom move sets. It's like he's commentating on a standard that doesn't exist.
Edit: Oh and Tekken has custom costumes but that's a 3D fighter and it's own seperate thing.
Anyway I agree with you. I think the reviewer was reasonably fair but clearly doesn't actually play fighting games.
Imagine calling a game where you have supers for normal special moves "safe". The fact it's bonkers is literally the appeal lol
It look cool. I'll definitely keep a eye out for it.
Wow what a great review. I usually absolutely hate reviews, usually. They don’t give anything of value and the Announcer is annoying IGN is literally the worst. Thank you so much for not being annoying. Great tone, and I learned everything that was actually important to know. The feel of the game and mechanics.
Honestly awesome review it’s refreshing and I hope thr best for your channel 😊
This is what I hope to see with the MVC2 remake.
This game will be crazy at high level
It's kusoge at high level lol
I already like it more than GBVS
This game is legit Awesome. I hope it does well
I'm liking it. Feels most similar to Granblue Fantasy.
But crazier and better
This is exactly what's been scaring me 😂 but it looks like a cross between blazblue and grandblue and I don't like how slow grandblue is. But I do like how crazy blazblue is
No way.
Granblue is basically anime Street Fighter. Even the links are similar.
This is more like Cross Tag and Guilty Gear had a baby.
@@yupjuliansje DNFs movement is way slower than Granblue but has gigantic buttons on all characters, which makes the game feel wonky and weird.
@@notimeforcreativenamesjust3034 Every character in DNF is at least as fast as any character in Granblue Versus - including Crusader. Striker, Kunoichi and Swift Master aren't even up for discussion.
Really, my only gripe on the game is the lack of an ability to block in the air. The amount of times I've been hit for not being able to is insane
plenty fgs dnt have air blocking
Stop jumping.
@@CuttyFlamLtd Okay, explain Strive, Blazeblue, and FighterZ
@@desaranfenrir9295 And let Launcher just spam me out? Dude, I don't think you understand what the issue actually is
@@DShy96 explain Street Fighter, KoF , Tekken , Smash and mortal Kombat
looks awesome ASF im kinda thinking of picking it up after work today lol
UM you should 😊😊
I did just that, and I'm not dissapointed.
Gotta do it man. It's a lot of fun!
update** nowhere in town had it so i had to order it =\ i cant wait to play it tho
@@cloudsurferxclips27 just download it?
this is the art style Steet Fighter should have gone for...
Nah
Yah
No, there is a reason people love other fighters too, each one has its own style. Don't need clone styles for other companies. Besides people love the artstyle of SF6. This game should have copies SNK like KOF15 maybe then the framerate would look better and animations look smoother.
Probably why I haven't played SF since II Turbo lol. I own most of them. Just not big into the story/lore, doesn't really have characters I like, and I'm not a big fan of the art direction they are going with it.
This art style is unique to Arcsys
I had never heard of this francize until today and Videogames are my life.
It's mostly popular in the east
@@notimeforcreativenamesjust3034 i live in SEA and it's due to DNF recently that i found out about the original game....lol
Noob lol
I'll buy it when it goes on sale. It's one of those games.
When noone plays it anymore lmao. Not worth it when its a fighting game
@@quekZo95 I'll say this game isn't that bad
@@schemar17 i dont say its bad. Its just the life cycle of every game especially fighting games. The hardcore fighting game players will still but you wont encounter that many newbies in 1 year or even less. Release time is always best to start in fighting games but its never too late
There's no way they can add extra costumes the way arc sys makes these games. The animation is hand drawn if im not mistaken they would have to animate ever character costume and that would take as long as making the game again
It's their job to know stuff like this, kills their credibility for me.
@@timschrader1203 na not for me its a small detail still love the channel tho
@babygran44 th-cam.com/video/kZsboyfs-L4/w-d-xo.html
Every game must draw the concept art first,but they don't hand drawn animation frame by frame anymore, so yes, costume would not be a pain in the ass to make, watch the video above to understand how they do the animation
@@babygran44 this is hand drawn???? Wow thats impressive
Why can modders do it then?
Idk how anyone can have a "final verdict" with that beginning game play 🤣
Still, looking forward to the content
Yeah that was cringe. Not everyone is a fighting game person, but that was like watching someone’s first game
@@MrWader76 lol exactly. After watching the video, I see it was more geared towards casuals but, coming in to it, that was cringe 🤣
I'm glad that it has a story mode with animated cut scenes but the static still images comic book style pictures gotta go. We have the space and technology to only use animated cu scenes to flesh out the story of each character.
Lastly, I understand the game is fro. The makers of Blazblue and guilty gear but did they have to make the art style, graphics and characters the same? Most of thr characters I see remind me of every character from the guilty gear and blazvkue series and of course to me that's a bad thing. If I wanted to play those games I would just play them, but don't give me a whole new fighting game with similar characters, I hate when devs do that smh.
I'll definitely still be checking yhr game out
Don't mind comics style if art is good.
Streets of Rage 4 did this well.
If the character model creation is anything like guilty gear strive s they probably won't have skins really.
Strive has shit tons of mods
@@starlitbebe3136 Well yeah but I mean official stuff.
Jackson Cynthia Clark Richard Walker Brian
The reason why old Guilty Gear fans and Blazblue fans wouldn't like this game's lack of depth is that it's not an Arcsys game. They only work on aesthetics. They have no say in game design or balance for DNF Duel.
I'm really enjoying it. I mean it's made by my favorite fighting game company or they at least helped publish it, I love the art style, and I'm loving the lore behind the characters. GHOSTBLADE and BERSERKER are my top 2 mains! Starting to wish Capcom would get Arc to make their fighting games or at least take note. I might get back into Street Fighter if they did that, but I doubt it lol.
Capcom needs to outsource a new Darkstalkers game OR SF Alpha 4 to Arcsystemworks. Capcom themselves wouldn't do a good job. 8ing the devs who made Marvel vs Capcom 3 developed this game along side Arcsystemworks.
@@aegisreflector1239 Fun fact that people don't seem to know is that 8ing did the Bloody Roar franchise too :).
@@NihonNoMajin Yes they did Bloody Roar. And Tatsunoko vs Capcom ( my favorite 8ing game) with UMvC3 being my least favorite. 8ing also made the fighting game Fate Unlimited for PS2 with the character Saber. But I don't think it ever came out in America
@@aegisreflector1239 I think I played Tatsunoko 🤔 wasn't that the one that had Soki from Onimusha Dawn of Dreams in it? I don't think I played Fate Unlimited. Isn't that a fighting game based on the Fate series? Man when I think about it there are a lot of fighting franchise/one offs that should make a come back. Yu Yu Hakusho, the Sailor Moon fighting games were amazing, Eternal Champions, Bushido Blade, Battle Arena Toshinden, Primal Rage, Gundam Battle Assault.
@@NihonNoMajin Yes that is the one with Soki. All those games deserve rereleases and or a new entry. And yes it's a fighting game based on the Fate series, 8ing and another dev team ( I forget their name made it) and then Capcom published it in Japan only.
It is streamlined version of Dungeon Fighter Online (DFO). I think DFO is still better and deeper in game mechanics, but visually this game is much better. ;)
It should be 9 out of 10, just like Strive
Strive was the bad way of doing it. This is the good way.
personally i like this more than Strive
This game is way better then strive forsure. I made a mistake, it should be 10 out of 10.
Why isn't this on Xbox? I have PS5. But rather use my Xbox.
Xbox not as popular in Asian countries
Do the characters have English voice acting too, or is it just Japanese?
Default is Korean, the original language. I think it has Japanese too, but no English.
@@tigerfestivals5137 Thank you for answering!
Default is korean but also japanese, chinese and another asian language is available. (All are shown in native signs so not 100% sure what that last one is)
Love the game, but it is missing defensive options. I would also like to see a level 1 super for every character that does not require 30% hp
Ooh awesome
what are the characters looks like Dante
Ranger
Hitman
does anyone know if its controller compatible on steam
Yes it is
@@schemar17 groovy thank you
Can we get this on the switch
No only ps and pc
@@schemar17 duh!!! I know that!!! I said I world like to see a future else on switch. I'm pretty sure it'll probably sell better than the ps5 version lol
@@redcrimson1028 yeah I'm pretty sure it could run on switch and yeah it would sell more on there
@@schemar17 so is the game any good? Is it worth buying? I need to know because I have it on ps5 I just haven't opened it yet
@@redcrimson1028 so far yes the game is good but the issue is the single player is pretty weak compared to other story modes made by arc system but if you only care about online the game is definitely worth a buy+
Dude your gripes on the inconsistencies of story animations are not relevant. That should never factor into a review of a fighting game.
Also the gameplay shown in this video look like crap, and not by fault of the game. It looks like a child is playing
when reviewing a game you should review every aspect
@@jico5147 Disagree. Even when looking at the game as a whole, certain things are irrelevant depending on the genre
@@ykahlil1501 if you aren’t gonna review the entire game then your review won’t work as a one, because your job is to tell people how good or bad something is and skipping stuff would make it pointless because it doesn’t do it’s job
One important thing I need to know: Arcade endings?
There are no endings when playing Arcade, but you can try Story mode where you get to battle CPU opponents & also watch like a graphic novel with illustrations, cutscenes, and such.
@@themanwithagoldenname6713 oof. No arcade endings is an auto fail for me. Might look at it on sale, but... its a trend I really hate.
Terrible review. Get someone who knows fighting games to do fighting game reviews.
Guys can you please make a video on games with best night environment or night life or night visulas as i enjoyed night life here in LA in wanted to know which games portrayed best night visuals for example games like gta v, cyberpunk 2077 or stray , this could be an intresting topic as i searched and found nothing related to this on youtube..
Wtf did you just say?
Give watchdogs a try. That looks great at night.
DNF
So funny to me when people review single player content for fighting games
The most popular fighting games have good single player
@@frewrldmusic not really, especially street fighter 5 and dbfz
@@frewrldmusic lol what about tekken 7
@@frewrldmusic which is the most popular fighting game
@@lstsoul4376 doesn't dbz have a whole story mode? And what about Mortal Kombat?

I'm going to pass. I hate OTG.
No Black guy, Alien, Robot or Creature so no character for me. Oh well GGS I guess. cool its on sale.
Really? Lol?
That must me a difficult world to rest your brain.
looks like guilty gear strive
It’s like it was made from the same company
The story sucks eggs, I know because I got the game, but the characters are amazing
This is what I hope to see with the MVC2 remake.
