DNF Duel (PS5)

Product Information

Getting into a ranked match takes almost no time at all, and there isn't an awkward lobby system to contend with. DNF DUEL takes the fighting game genre to a whole new level with its unique combat system and tactics.

Each iconic character has their signature moves and strengths, which are further accentuated by their Awakening effects. Crazy combos, a cool character roster, and a nice selection of game modes makes for an appealing package. Taking popular free-to-play titles and transforming them into fighting games is becoming a bit of a trend, isn't it?It's not quite as impressive as Guilty Gear Strive's netcode — which remains the best in the biz — but it's not far off, and you'll be hard pressed to find a match that's unplayable. DNF Duel is a cooperative effort from fighting game juggernaut Arc System Works ( Guilty Gear, BlazBlue, the aforementioned Granblue Fantasy Versus), and lesser known Japanese developer Eighting, which has had a hand in loads of different projects over the years.

Whether it’s the lightning-fast and flashy gunshots of the sly Ranger or the uninhibited raw power of the frenzied Berserker, each character’s iconic traits have been heightened and reworked. But again, the game explodes into action once that all-important attack lands, and it should also be noted that each character comes equipped with a forward dodge that grants brief invulnerability. Super stylish fighter DNF Duel is getting a second open beta on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 — and the best part is that it's extremely close.There's a lot of experience here, and it shows in how crisp the game feels from the moment that you boot it up.

Naturally, connection quality does start to dip if you challenge players from regions afar, but for us, going up against other European competitors felt great for the most part. Fortunately, if you can stomach the aforementioned momentum shifts, the game's online offering is very hard to fault — primarily because its rollback netcode is up there amongst the genre's best. A decently sized roster — 16 characters at launch — a number of single-player modes, and impressive visuals go a long way in heightening the game's appeal.

It does have a free upgrade, but like with every other aspect of this game it is marketed like s*** so you'd never know. There is a reversal mechanic where you can spend meter to push your opponent back and reset neutral (to an extent), but it's expensive so you need to use it very carefully. Enter the new beat ’em up world of Arad as your favorite character from the beloved Dungeon and Fighter franchise! This one guy just spammed this big slashing projectile that was too big to jump over and if I blocked it I'd be putting myself in danger anyway due to the offensive mechanics mentioned in the review.
