The social media tool this week is Dungeon Blitz. This online game allows players to create characters, embark on quests, play with their friends, and complete quests with friends. Online gaming is helping users communicate more frequently while allowing users to engage in the game. Dungeon Blitz is a fantasy style game. This means that users will see dragons, spells, and other magical characteristics.
Dungeon Blitz is a typical fantasy game. There are many characters on the game. The game allows the characters to interact with each other to complete quests. It is integrated with Facebook so adding your current friends is easy. The game also helps characters think when they should use certain spells and how often.
After playing Dungeon Blitz, the thing I found most interesting was its ability to make me wanting to keep playing. It is an extremely simple concept, point and click to kill enemies. Even though it was easy, I was seeing myself wanting to keep playing to level up and progress my character. This is very common with fantasy games.
I did not find anything too difficult with Dungeon Blitz. It does take a couple of minutes to get used to the controls and know character's abilities. There are different classes, and these classes allow a user to use certain skills better. On the first level of the boat, I got real frustrated because of the flying bat like creatures. It took me a good couple of minutes to figure out what to do.
I feel this game helps improve communication. As stated before, it is integrated with Facebook so one can play with the friends that they have on Facebook. This adds an added level of communication with people. It helps connect friends by allowing them to do something besides creeping on other people's pages.
My overall experience with this game is very positive. The only thing I wish was that it had a chat log to chat with other users who were not my friend on Facebook. This could be a security reason, however, since it is a Facebook game and Facebook allows 13 year olds on their site. It could be there since a lot of online gamers are inappropriate.
I have to agree with you that dungeon blitz is a game that allows you to keep playing it when ever you want. Facebook is the key because it's one top social networking sites in the world. I thought the game was a little difficult when the levels got harder but it depends on the person who's playing the game to decide that. Lastly I agree with you that younger kids are playing this game because anybody can create a Facebook profile page and lie about their age.
ReplyDeleteI think one of the reasons I liked Dungeon Blitz was because it was relatively easy to plan and there wasn't too much action in it. One of the things I liked about the game was that you could switch your character so you could experience the different classes where as other Facebook games you are pretty much stuck as the person you first choose.
