The original Dungeon Defenders was launched in 2011 and went on to be a huge indie game success in a time when indie games were just beginning to hit their stride. The game had a sequel in 2017 that changed the formula and attempted a free to play model, but wasn't met with the same critical acclaim or success. Now Dungeon Defenders: Awakened is throwing its helmet into the ring, bringing the series back and returning to the originals roots.

Dungeon Defenders II was out back in 2017 and received mixed reviews. The game's original formula had changed slightly and not everyone was on board. But the series is back and reviews of the early access game have pointed out it's more like the original than ever. Dungeon Defenders Awakened is slated to bring together four heroes as they protect their dungeons crystal from wave after wave of baddie.
