Gameloft's release of Dungeon Hunter 4 continues the big name releases from the developer who has committed to 15 new titles for Windows Phone during 2013/2014. This freemium title continues the Dungeon Hunter franchise, now moving to mobile after hitting every other platform in the last decade, and while it might be a free download, you'll be reminded at every opportunity that your quest will be easier with some magical in-app purchases.

To be fair to Gameloft, this is a huge game (a shade under 1 GB, so the regular rule of thumb is that you'll need 3 GB of free space on your internal drive to install it), and you are getting a lot of value here. Of course without a huge playing session you don't know exactly how much the title will actually cost you. I'm sure Gameloft will have tested this and be confident there is a path through that can lead to victory with no extra payments made, but can the average gamer find it (or resist temptation?).

Dungeon Hunter 4 looks the part, and I can forgive the slightly clichéd and unimaginative dungeons, creatures, and quests, because they all work really well together. I'd rather have solid code with basic ideas than flashy ideas on top of dodgy programming!

But at the same time I like my freemium games to play fair. Once you pick up some of the IAP weapons and armour, the game becomes far easier to play. And that just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Here's the main features list from the directory listing:

• Progress through an EPIC STORYLINE & stunning environments
• SLASH hundreds of enemies and massive bosses
• LOOT countless items
• Choose from 4 Character Classes with unique combat styles
• UPGRADE your battle skills

• Show off your battle skills in the PvP modes!

Dungeon Hunter 4 is a free download, and you can find it listed in our app directory.
