Gameplay edit

In Dungeon Hunter 6, players are immersed in a thrilling world filled with various creatures, mythical powers, and adventurous quests. As the main character, players must choose from five available classes[3] of Bounty Hunters and summon their trusted Lieutenants to save the realm from dangerous evils seeking to cause chaos.

The game retains the classic hack ‘n’ slash gameplay[4] that initially attracted players to the series. However, Dungeon Hunter 6 introduces refreshed mechanics that aim to bridge the gap between nostalgic elements from previous installments and the current gameplay experience. Players can expect an action-packed and enthralling journey, regardless of the class they choose, as the game provides unique class-specific weapons such as the Warrior’s ferocious swords and the Mage’s magical staff and orb.

One notable addition in Dungeon Hunter 6 is the Lieutenant system, which allows players to strategically pair up with numerous Lieutenants, each possessing their own strengths. This groundbreaking feature enhances traditional combat modes, providing players with even more opportunities to defeat the various villains they encounter on their quest for victory.

However, we learn from history that we do not learn from history. Only after two hundred years of peaceful life, some ambitious people have forgotten the sufferings caused by demons.

The evil Necromancer Cull built Forbidden Towers to pursue power and opened the Void portals for Demons. The demon army began to invade again. The three Great Demon Lords (Pride, Hate, and Agony) decided to carve up the Mortal Realm. To fight demons over a long time, the survivors formed an Allied Forces Army.

The Allied Forces Army mainly consists of the Valen Army, the Right Hand, members of the Bounty Hunter Guild, Ashken, and Kenashi.

Its high leader and supreme commander is Princess Aileen. But in practice, the Allied Forces Army works more like the old Valenthia Council, with different leaders representing their respective factions or races. Princess Aileen will make major decisions, after which the faction/race leaders will work on the details.
