Gameplay
Dungeon Defenders is a mix of tower defense, RPG, and High fantasy. The game consists of multiplayer and single player. The whole point of this game is to defend, of course, your crystal from being destroyed by goblins, dragons, orcs, kobolds, ogres, and wyverns. The game has alot of levels consisting of about 5-10 waves each. In campaign mode its usually just 5 waves with a lot of side challenge levels, or a boss battle. Every wave gets harder and harder to beat. The player has to defend the crystal by building, magically create them, and upgrade towers to help defend your crystal. When on a easier difficulty the player can study where the monsters are spawning so it will make it easier for them. If you beat a wave you the player will receive "mana" which you can buy towers, repair them, and do more. The difficulty of each level is chosen by the player the difficulties he/she can choose are easy, medium, hard, insane and Adding a plus to each of them will make it a wee bit harder. There are four classes to choose from and each of them have there own special abilities to do certain things. The player has the choose to make his server or join another server. If your hosting the server you have host advantages to kick people and more, and if your not its the opposite way around.

Graphics
Honestly the graphics in this game are good but not the best for Xbox 360. The games graphics run very smooth and aren't terrible for this kind of game. All the enemies or monsters look good, you can definitely tell distinctly what is what. The ogre is one of the enemies in this game as i have said above, but the ogre is HUGE, but all it is, is a huge monster that is green that has a club. They could have went into more detail with something that big. Every spell of the wizard is cool to see. All the other abilities are also really cool to see too. Overall the graphics in this game are good but they could of went into more detail in some parts of the map, monsters, and weapons.

Controls
The controls, oh my gosh, are simply amazing in my opinion. They are simple to hit people, jump, repair, and make towers. There really isn't much controls to this kind of game, as it is a tower defense. Anybody could probably learn these controls for as they are that simple to learn. There aren't any kind of special moves to do in this game which makes it easier. If there is a special move you just click a button and bam its doing it. Not really much to say or I would be repeating my self and look stupid, but overall they are simply amazing and not complex at all.
