It’s dark, it’s dank, it smells something awful down here and you just stepped in something squishy...
Yup, you guessed it - it's Dungeon Runners™ - a free-to-play multiplayer action role-playing game that transports you to an exciting realm of magic and adventure.

As a brave Dungeon Runner, be prepared to...

Explore dangerous dungeons (duh!)
Battle ferocious monsters like the Fire Mutant Puker (monsters that vomit - how cool!)
Discover incredible weapons, artifacts and loot! I mean, where ELSE are you going to find a Vorpal Pizza Cutter of Doom or the Laughing Brutalizer of the Two Dead Iguanas?
Whether fighting evil hordes as a lone idiot, um, I mean warrior, or teaming up with online friends to carve a path of destruction through your foes, Dungeon Runners will quench your deepest dungeon-crawling thirst.

Dungeon Runners is free to download and play, but purchasing Membership status will unleash Power Word: Upgrade - and a range of benefits designed to enhance your Dungeon Runners experience on every level will magically appear.

    Not worth the PITA to create half a dozen accounts to experience such boring gameplay.

    Quite funny. Graphics are Warcraft IIIish, and the action and objects are very Diablo, but the absurdish names, mocking the names of objects, plus the nature of the missions as you progress is quite funny. Game costs a very inexpensive $4.99/month, a pretty fair asking. Good for an escape here and there. WHatever sign-up issues they may have had before, they are gone now. I was playing within a couple of minutes. You need to create a dual Dungeon Runners/PlayNC account at the site www.dungeonrunners.com, confirm the e-mail (clicking on enclosed link), and then (and this might be tricky for some) confirm the e-mail (second time I guess) in your profile, and use the code they send in the second e-mail. Weird, but it is still pretty quick.

    veeerrrrry long sign up process, and you can't even jump in and play the game once it's installed. have to wait however many days for the game account to be approved. two days later and two accounts created, and still waiting for approval. logging into the game just directs me to create ANOTHER account! (hence why i have 2.)

    I also have been getting a "General Error" ever since I got it downloaded. I emailed their account support and I was told they were "escalating my petition to a Senior Customer Support Representative to further assist me." That was two days ago. Still haven't heard anything and can't get into the game.

    Just downloaded the game and played the entire day

    It's pretty nice , in my book : 7/10 . It's not any of the major MMORPG's , but hey ... it's free , and for a free game it's without a doubt a A+ grade game . @psycox or others that had problems : there are 2 types of users , the free / guest users and the members [the ones that pay 4.99$ / month] . The members have some sweet items and some MAJOR privileges . After you downloaded the game , go to the plaync official site , make a PLAYNC Account , after that , you need to make a D. Runners™ Account . You don't have to pay to play this game , you must pay only if you want to become a member . Hope this helped
