The game sometimes has some performance issues and the game takes a long time to start up. The bug that prevents other players from leveling up when they join you is also very annoying at this point, as it makes playing together less fun. Some bugs that were present in the early stages of the PC release have been fixed, and the interface has improved a lot, which definitely makes it better than when it launched on the PC.

About
Defend the most dangerous and gorgeous (we say darngeous) dungeons as four plucky heroes with this unique combo of tower-defense gameplay, ability-based action RPG combat, ever-lasting endgame loot, couch co-op, and online multiplayer. Experience the front-lines of tower defense with friends and fellow defenders — fighting off ferocious hordes in a stunning 3D fantasy world. Four unique heroes, a satisfying RPG leveling system, and an ever-addictive endgame with procedurally generated loot — DD:A celebrates the creativity and collaboration that can only come from four friends trapped in a dungeon against endless waves of orcs with dynamite.

Critic reviews
- Ultimately, Dungeon Defenders: Awakened is a very unique experience that will only improve with time if Chromatic listens to their players and updates regularly. The early game can be boring, especially when played alone. However, co-op is exciting at any time, and the late game is an absolute blast. In nightmare mode, stages begin to reach the perfect level of balance between challenge and fun.
- 8.0We just find ourselves wondering if the tutorials and information in the game couldn’t be expanded to help newbies better understand what they’re dealing with throughout an otherwise constantly engaging tower defense atmosphere.
- 7.0Dungeon Defenders: Awakened is a fun time, especially with others. But it doesn't have as much content as the game it's remaking yet, meaning that people still playing that one might be reluctant to move onto this version.
- Dungeon Defenders: Awakened tries to recapture the glory and nostalgia that the first game commanded so well. There’s some fun to be had but I don’t think it’s worth the $40 asking price for Early Access. Although I am excited that Awakened will be available on Switch later this year, I think I would rather have a port of Dungeon Defenders II instead. Right now, this is a game you should sleep on.
- 6.0Right now, it's not really worth picking up this version of the game over the original. It's just not good enough yet, and it doesn't have enough content. Hopefully, in time, Awakened will become an excellent example of how good the series can be, but it's not the case at the moment.
