Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Sometimes you just need to express your dark side. In Dungeon Keeper, you're the boss of a horrible, rotten-smelling dungeon, and you must keep all of your loathsome, demonic creatures in line. If that weren't enough to keep you busy, your lair is continually invaded by hoards of idealistic "heroes" wanting to slay you, proclaim a triumph over evil, and go back to a village feast in their honor. What's an evil boss to do? Unleash your minions, set deadly traps, cast spells, and punish them with your torture devices. And most of all, teach those dumb do-gooders a lesson.

I really enjoyed the wicked genre of the game. Some people hate the fact that you start from scratch,but what are the odds that you'll find an underground empire that you don't have to fight for or build yourself. The real trick is keeping your minions from desserting because they have sence of creature comforts to and you have to pay them (what you thought they'd just work for you putting their life at stake with no cash income?) and keep them from warring amongst themselves because they have natural enemies. This game is really humorous (ever slap a bile demon) the creatures reactions to certains actions are normally quite funny. One word of advice never sacrifice/slap the horned reaper. if you sacrifice it the creatures will desert with the tought that you're an idiot for sacrificing the best demon. If you slap him he'll go into a killing frenzy killing everything in sight until is but a bloody wasteland before him this is actually quite funny to watch,but...

5.0 out of 5 stars Slap--Slap---Slap--Your Mistress is angry., August 29, 2003

One of the best games on the market, in my opinion. Just love being the bad guy, instead of the regular good versus evil scenerio.

The game actually teaches you how to play, which is rare any more in the gaming industry. Build and manage you money. Some levels are easier than others, but then there is one that you have a killer time beating, as you get attacked wave after wave and unless you build a prison, immediately, no way to get gold easily. The addon, is okay, but I think it could of been better.

The second DK 2, wasn't as good as the first one, here. Too much shading and the graphics are not the best for such an expensive game.

DK 1, love it and wished there had been an offical level maker/editor. I wished EA would make another game similiar or identical to DK1. I would buy it in an instant!!

Dungeon Keeper is a brilliant game, but its not my favourite strategy game. Digging under ground creating lairs to hold your minions, vaults to stash your gold and many other rooms to train, please and feed your creatures. Unlike many games, you play the bad guy for a change. You controll many Imps who dig tunnels and rooms for you to acheive your evil plans to stop and destroy the Lord of the Land and his heroic men of piece. Great visuals create a dark atmosphere with the use of flame lit torches (which is done very well) and the cursor in the form of a hand, which lights up dark areas. The creatures and monsters that you controll range from giant beetles, flies, trolls, wizards, skeletons, bile demons, ghosts, mistresses and many more. To controll your minions you simply click on the creature you want and you can then pick them up off the screen and drop them where ever you want. This game has great humor. With its screams of pain, Imps running along tunnels and the ability to hit or beat your minions to work faster.

I think this game is very good. Its funny, violent, simple and easy to play. The only problem I had with this game is that it get hard a bit too quickly and can sometimes get repetetive. But its still a great game.
