Fiendishly Fun

This real-time strategy game is worth purchasing just for the rare privilege of playing the Evil side of the coin. There is so much to like about this game -- the amazing sounds, secret levels with strange objectives, the thrill of backhanding one of your creatures when they slack off. Most players will eventually grow a little irritated at several flaws, including a battle system that even the sequel couldn't improve and a level structure that starts you from scratch after each dungeon. However, with a torture chamber among the inventory of rooms which you can build and play with, this game will definitely provide hours of wicked joy.

Bad day at the office dear?

Had a bad day at the office? Why not come home conquer the world? This is a great game for semi-mindless fun. It is billed as a stratagy game, but many times they help you out just a little too much. Some levels are more stratagy than others, some are merely hack and slash and pray you can keep enough of your creatures alive to survive the attacks.

On the other hand I love the graphics and sound - especially on the main screen. You can watch the land turn from a lovely idyllic green kingdom to a nasty pox ridden blemish complete with howling wolves. Inside each level, there are different obstacles to overcome and you as the lord evil. Plus you have your own issues to resolve, the flies keep picking fights with the spiders and they do tend to get eaten in the process. Such things count against you on your score. Of course you can always torture a hero or two to make yourself feel better.

The creatures that assist you in your attempt at world domination also change with the levels. I love the way they get bigger as they train up. I also like the voice of the narrator. I could listen to him all day.

My only critiques on this are that it is too dark for it's apparent targeted age group (13 - 21 year olds) yet too simple for older players. Also when there tends to be a lot going on on the screen - you sometimes lose your game, graphics engine issues? Save often. Maybe the next one will be better?

I've always wanted to be the bad guy

This is a rare game. Just for the people that have a little evil in their hearts. Being [tired] of other games, that the bad guyz always bash you? Tired of those traps that you always set off?

With this game, your enemies will suffer from that! Torture 'em! Scorch em! KILL EM! Just for relaxing after a bad day at the work

Marvelously evil fun..

Dungeonkeeper is the first of the "play as evil" games, and the first to use the hand as the interface. I suppose the graphics are hokey by today's standards, but I still pull this one out every now and then.

There's not much replayability, alas, in the single-player game. But hook up with a couple of friends, and your life will never be the same!

The Game's demo shows...

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...

THIS GAME ROCKS

This game is one of the greatest games i've ever played (thats not an RPG) you can smack and kill chickens and workers if they aren't working hard enough. Basically the best part is that you are absolutely evil fighting to conquer the world from the uglyness of good. I played it for the first time at a friends house and got pretty far...That friend moved away and i've been lookin for the game again. only now its unavailable through .... So if anyone has the power to do so, get this game available again. This game and dungeon keeper 2 desearve to be put back up. So overall this is a great game and desearves to go back up. And i'm sure you all can agree...i mean how often do u get to be an evil boss who slapped chickens and workers and tourtures the good.

Can't stop playing it

My mum & dad don't let us play on the computer all day - sometimes they only let us (me and my brother & sister) have 1/2 hour. But even so, we always play Dungeon Keeper. It's the best game! It may be about being the most evil Dungeon Keeper, but you just ignore this and treat it like Age of Empires, etc where you have to build certain objects so that you get to be the best and win. We've been playing for over a year now and we still haven't got to the end, cause we love starting from the beginning again (where the levels are easier)

The Dark Beginning...

Dungeon Keeper is a game without parallel. It virtually started the creepy, dark & dim dungeon game genre. When you're through with the good guy stuff, this game is a masterful way to explore the other side of the coin of balance. Excellent gameplay, intricate levels, diverse characters, and a really cool mentor guy make this one game you shouldn't miss. Unless, of course, you're afraid of the dark...
