There aren’t that many 2D, sprite-based beat ‘em ups released nowadays, but Nexon America proved that the genre is still a terrifically viable one with Dungeon Fighter Online. A mash up of the traditional fist-to-face brawler with MMO and fantasy elements, Dungeon Fighter Online allows you to select one of five character archetypes (Gunner, Priest, Mage, Fighter, Slayer), customize your look and gear, and then take it into the virtual world to scour dungeons and slay many, many enemies (or battle other players in the PvP arena).  It’s fast, hard, hitting, and easy to pick up and play – - the mark of a well-designed beat ‘em up.
