You start out with limited minions to do your bidding and limited technology (Rooms & Spells) and slowly make your way either through the storyline or in skirmishes and PvP, growing your dungeons and conquring your enemies. Dungeon Keeper 2 took it to a whole new level while retaining the same evil ruthlessness. It is such a shame that EA decided that the DK franchise wasn't worth continuing with.ĭungeon Keeper was a truly epic game back when PC gaming was in it's infancy. There was meant to be a Dungeon Keeper 3 (a brief trailer can be found in the Extra section) but unfortunately Bullfrog went bust and was taken over by EA Games. It is nice to return to an old favourite every couple of months to remind you of the simplicity of things and to give you a refresher on the old strategies and techniques which comes in handy when playing some of the new strategy games.
If you're looking for a more relaxing option, then Pet Dungeon is the option for you.
Pet Dungeon allows you to build your dungeon and train your creatures before any attack takes place. When playing the Pet Dungeons you decide when the attacks are going to take place, and whether or not you want a single marauder (you can pick up to 10 enemies and drop them anywhere in your dungeon) or a full attack, or all-out repeating attacks. Rooms become available on a timed released. In Pet Dungeon you are required to reach a certain score - the first level is at 10,000 points and each level after that adds a further 10,000 points to the total required as you progress. Each of the films is then stored in the "extras" vault for you to view whenever you feel like. At the end of each campaign you get a brief CGI film as a reward for your victory. The game allows you to play the map campaign, or play pet dungeons. Remember to hunt around for any hidden spells such as "raise experience of all creatures", "reveal map", "secret level", etc, they really do come in useful. You can train a creature to level 10 (up to level 4 in the training room then move them to the fighting pit or into battles for further levels), but unlike DK1 you cannot train imps in the training room, imps gain experience with the length of time they spend in the dungeon. You build your dungeon, claim at least one portal and attract creatures to your cause and train them. There have been a number of games since then, including the Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth games, as well as Sims 2 and new Sims 3 which I have tried and play now.Īs with the original you are the evil dungeon keeper who is trying to vanquish the good of the underworld, and in the process collect the portal gems. A couple of years later came Dungeon Keeper 2, and between DK, DK2, Theme Hospital and Command and Conquer I was kept happy for years.
The first computer game I ever had was Dungeon Keeper (which ran on Windows 95 but, unfortunately, not on any of the updated windows version).
