About Dragon Nest

Dragon Nest is a free-to-play action MMORPG with non-targeting combat developed by Eyedentity Games and published by various publishers based on your location on the globe. (Please Note: Due to the wide variety of publishers, not all versions of Dragon Nest have the same current version or update schedule.)

In Dragon Nest, players select from a number of pre-created heroes that have various skill sets (specializing in magic, ranged, melee, etc) and play through a series of instance based “dungeons” to level, learn new skills, and gain fame and fortune. What the game lacks in character creation options (you really only customize color and clothing) the game makes up for in its more action and arcade style combat. Players will be challenged in combat (you can adjust difficulty) and will require lightning fast reactions and intelligent use of skill combinations to take down their foes…even other players. This makes combat (and PvP) more of a skill based encounter where skill can trump character level.

Dragon Nest is well known for its epic boss battles. Expect to see big monsters and creatures that will challenge the way players approach each fight. Aim true, if you don’t you’ll spend a lot of time missing.

Stunning visuals and smooth animations will keep players visually enthralled while they rack up kill after kill in the game’s constantly changing dungeons. Many players though have bemoaned a recent update that altered the game’s existing content in favor of pushing players into new dungeons tailored to higher levels. The game’s cash shop also garners some criticism with the offering of special in game items in addition to the standard costume/pet fare. Dragon Nest also has inspired some manga, films, and collectible figures.
