A rare mix of RTS, management SIM and RPG with some first person action thrown into the mix.
On paper this games sounds like an insane mix of concepts but it works so well.
You are a dungeon keeper which means building and managing a dungeon to attract or capture minions to do your bidding. You can do this from overhead, RTS style, or you can take control of individual minions. You'll find a mix of the two will be required to complete the game.
Ontop of building rooms and commanding minions, you have the ability to cast spells. These are crucial in battle and should not be ignored.
Your opponents are either the good folk of the land, usually personified as the cliche group of adventurers; warriors, mages, thieves etc. Or other dungeon keepers vying for control of the land.
The writing has the right amount of humour for what story there is. That being said the story is not important at all to enjoying the game.
Really what holds this game up against the test of time is the dynamic playstyle and clever level design. There are so many ways to complete the mission objective and I usually needed to try a level a few times before I could complete it.
This game was a great experience and I will definitely revisit it.
