If A 1980's Gauntlet cabinet fell in love with a tower defense game and had a baby, that baby would be Dungeon Defenders.
Now imagine the baby grew up in a world of modern sensibilities and deep RPGs, and one day came out to its parents. "Mom, dad, I want to have randomly-generated loot and a surprisingly-complex system for character advancement."
So anyway, this game and all its DLC are 60% off on Steam right now. You can get the game itself for a little over seven dollars, with DLC packs as low as sixty cents a piece. I recommend the New Heroes pack, which is the best bargain for extra characters, and nab some of the mission packs while you're in there.
I picked the game up via the generosity of a friend online, and I sat down to play it. Six hours later, it was almost 7am and I was a right mess. Instant addiction, like the first time I played Minecraft or Bejeweled. I cannot recommend this hard enough.
