DNF mobile marks the return of the beloved Dungeon Fighter franchise to the mobile gaming scene.

The original Dungeon Fighter Online game, released for PC in 2005, quickly gained a massive following in South Korea.

In DNF, players choose from various character classes, each with unique abilities and playstyle, to embark on epic adventures in the mystical land of Arad.

The game’s side-scrolling beat ’em up style and its RPG elements offers a unique gaming experience that keeps players hooked.

Over the years, DNF underwent several name changes as it was localized for different markets. In Japan, the game was known as Arad Senki, while in English-speaking countries, it was called Dungeon Fighter Online. Despite the name changes, the core gameplay remained the same.

In 2015, a spin-off game, Dungeon Fighter Live Fall of Hendon Myre, was released on Xbox 360. 

Dungeon & Fighter Spirit, the first mobile version of the game, was released in Korea in 2016. This mobile adaptation retained many of the elements that made the original game a success while optimizing the experience for mobile devices.
