If you've ever heard of Dungeon Fighter Online (DFO) and wanted to try it, you had better do that within the week.  2D Arcade-style Beat-em-Up Dungeon Fighter Online will shut down North American Servers on June 13th, 2013 next Thursday.  Despite its incredible popularity and income overseas, the unique MMO fighter wasn't able to hold its own in the West.  DFO combines the basic mechanics of beat-em-ups with lots of RPG elements such as branching paths for classes, numerous items to equip and consume, an on-going story, and tons of skills that can be combined for all sorts of crazy combos.  It has a nostalgic retro-look to the graphics with flashy animations.  For many players, the game got repetitive and possibly grindy when they were no longer to progress through the story and need to revisit older levels for gaining experience points and looking for better equipment.  With this, there are less players willing to stay with the game and spend money in the micro-transaction shop which is what keeps these free-to-play online games afloat.  If you like Action games or Beat-em-Ups, it's probably worth playing the game a little before it shuts down forever on June 13th.  It's always sad to see fun games like these shut down, but we got the chance to play them at the very least.
