Nexon America announces that Dungeon Fighter Online has finally entered its Open Beta phase. The Nexon-developed pseudo-MMORPG (there’s no large scale raiding type of content) is now available to all those willing to test the brawler out.
Each of the five classes – Fighter, Gunner, Mage, Priest or Slayer – is available now. It’s quite clear that the classes offer highly diverse fighting styles after spending quality time with them at PAX 2009.
In addition to your typical side-scrolling brawler gameplay and boss fights, but controlled with your standard MMORPG User Interface, the game offers PvP challenges. Players can participate in numerous PvP endeavors including 1v1 – 4v4 skirmishes, and even eight player free-for-all combat. PvP XP is awarded, rather than your standard XP, and contributes to a player’s Arena rank.
Now that Dungeon Fighter Online has become open to the public I guess those DFO Early Access Beta keys I handed out via Twitter don’t seem as cool. What with the fact that you can sign-up here just as easily.
Not sure why lack of raid content makes it a “psuedo” MMO in your mind? MMOs have always existed without raid content and still been called MMOs, going back over a decade.

It’s not just that, it’s mainly the fact that it doesn’t feel like a massive multiplayer title. More like a large multiplayer title – think 64-player Battlefield, Hellgate: London or something along those lines.
