As for supported platforms, they mention, \u201c<em>DNF DUEL<\/em> will be available for PC, in addition to console devices including PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DNF DUEL\uff5cOfficial Trailer\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gf0ZlqM1yfQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>DNF Duel<\/em> is a fighting game featuring characters from the online action RPG <em>Dungeon Fighter Online<\/em>. The game is being made by BlazBlue and <em>Guilty Gear<\/em> developer Arc System Works in conjunction with Eighting, who are known for titles such as <em>Marvel vs. Capcom 3<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>DNF Duel<\/em>, playable characters are comprised of the available classes in <em>Dungeon Fighter Online<\/em>. In the open beta that is currently running on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 until December 20, 6:00 a.m. (PST), the Berserker, Vanguard, Inquisitor, Striker, Grappler, Ranger, Kunoichi, Hitman, Crusader, and Dragon Knight are available as playable characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DNF DUEL\uff5cBasic Actions\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b2NwqRjHEVs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the gameplay systems, in addition to the two types of regular attacks, there are also two types of special moves. These special moves can be used with various D-pad and button combinations, and they are relatively simple to pull off. Using MP moves consumes some of the MP gauge located just below your health bar. MP can be recovered over time, by landing hits with moves that don\u2019t cost MP, and through Conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In <em>DNF Duel<\/em>, even if you guard an opponent\u2019s attack, you\u2019ll take damage. However, it will be \u201cwhite damage\u201d which recovers over time. But instead of recovering your white damage, you can convert it to MP using Conversion. Conversion is also special because it can be used to cancel various actions. On top of that, after a character\u2019s HP is reduced a certain amount, they can use what\u2019s called an Awakening Skill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These risk versus reward systems seem to constantly give players tactical choices during matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also been <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DNFDuel\/status\/1471797331003539461\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">announced<\/a> that online matches will have rollback netcode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>DNF Duel <\/em>is scheduled to release in the summer of 2022.
