NCSoft appears to be trying to do something a little different with the upcoming Dungeon Runners, but the twist won't be coming from the gameplay, which is a lot like that found in Diablo, nor will it be in regards to aesthetics, which have some decidedly World of Warcraft-esque leanings. What is most likely to make Dungeon Runners stand out from the crowd is that it won't cost a dime to download and play the game.
Bare in mind, though, that this whole concept of a free game does come with a few qualifiers. NCSoft is a company, and not a charitable organization after all. In order to make money off Dungeon Runners, NCSoft plans to charge a fee for various premium content in the game. This will largely come in the form of elite items that players can equip. What is unclear here is whether these items are consistently head and shoulders above monster drops in the game, or a mixture of super weapons, and cool looking items that only add aesthetic value to a player.
