Dungeons 2

Ok game undermined by the most insufferable and unfunny narration ever.

First I just want to say this game just isn't for me. Made it up to the Wall Street level and just had to stop. That being said, I think what the game is doing (Dungeon Keeper Style) it does well. The narrator is fun to listen to while you are playing and I enjoy the character designs. There were moments for me where I felt like it was slightly overwhelming when you have three different groups in three different locations like bouncing back between your dungeon, the overworld or some other dungeon that isn't yours. This is essentially a RTS but on a much smaller scale. Taking small groups of monsters onto the overworld and destroying kingdoms, villages and everything that is happy and full of rainbows and cheer. Overall if you enjoy some RTS battles, with some 4th wall breaking humor and simply a fan of the Dungeon Keeper franchise then I feel like you will really enjoy this game a lot. If you're an achievement hunter from what I have played it feels like the achievements aren't too difficult to get and you'll get most of them from just simply playing through the game once. Is this game worth full price? Yes, if you're looking for a Dungeon Keeper type of game.

Dungeons 2 can rightly call itself the spiritual successor to Dungeon Keeper - it's a much better game than Dungeons was. What I love is how it maintains the dungeon building aspect of Keeper, but includes RTS gameplay elements for the overground action. The campaign is a good one to introduce you to the game mechanics, the two factions and the overground RTS controls. I love the two factions the game offers - they have nice differences, and a good array of creatures to control. I also love the narration done by the same person who narrated The Stanley Parable. The DLC packs are nice and do add some nice content, although sadly they don't add extra achievements, and I am annoyed the undead faction found in the campaign is not exactly playable, but overall this title really did itself proud.

Se avete nostalgia del leggendario Dungeon Keeper ma cercate qualcosa di fresco, Dungeons 2 è il gioco perfetto per saziare la vostra sete di malvagità. Il gioco riesce a fondere alla perfezione la gestione sotterranea con la strategia in tempo reale in superficie, creando un loop di gameplay magnetico e divertentissimo. Il doppio gameplay rende unico il gioco, sotto terra pianifichi le stanze, ordini ai tuoi fidati e pigri Miserabili di scavare oro e schiaffeggi i mostri per farli lavorare più velocemente. Sopra terra, il gioco si trasforma in un vero e proprio RTS in stile Warcraft, dove guidi le tue armate a radere al suolo le stucchevoli e fin troppo verdi città degli umani. Gestire l'Orda (con orchi, goblin, troll e naga) è uno spasso. Vedere le proprie unità salire di livello, addestrarsi e cambiare aspetto estetico e abilità è estremamente appagante. Il vero re del gioco invece è il narratore, la sua voce cinica vi accompagnerà per tutta la campagna, prendendovi costantemente in giro e sommergendovi di geniali citazioni a film, serie TV e libri fantasy. Lo stile cartoonesco in 3D è delizioso, pulito e ricco di dettagli che non stancano mai l'occhio. Un piccolo appunto è quello di non aspettatevi un livello di simulazione hardcore o un RTS punitivo. A volte i combattimenti nell'Oltremondo possono diventare un po' semplici in quanto sicuramente non vi attaccheranno in numero superiore al vostro, ma la varietà delle missioni e la comicità della storia compensano ampiamente qualsiasi piccola imperfezione. Un acquisto obbligato per chiunque voglia impersonare il Signore del Male senza prendersi troppo sul serio e ricordare il vecchio Dungeon Keeper.

ok

Carino ma sempliciotto, rischia di annoiare presto.

Funny game

The dungeon-building side is definitely the strongest part. Creating different rooms, expanding your territory, training your creatures, and preparing defenses is genuinely satisfying. There's something very fun about watching heroes enter your dungeon thinking they're about to become legendary, only to get destroyed by your monsters and traps. The game also adds a real-time strategy element by letting you take your creatures outside the dungeon and directly attack the overworld. It's a nice change of pace and gives you something else to do besides constantly managing your underground base. The humor is another big reason to play it. Dungeons 2 doesn't take itself seriously at all and constantly makes fun of fantasy clichés, heroes, and the traditional "good vs. evil" story. It's goofy, sometimes stupid, but that's exactly the point.
