http://www.dungeons-game.com/QUOTE It's been a long time since evil has been the name of the game. Too often protagonists are hopelessly noble and valiant. There never was enough love shown for the evildoers.
Then came the Dungeon Keeper series from Bullfrog. With stylish graphics and an awesome sense of humor, being bad never felt so good. Unfortunately the studio closed in 2004, leaving little hope for a sequel.
Eleven years after the release of Dungeon Keeper 2, Kalypso Media has announced a return to the genre of RTS with a malevolent twist. Behold a return to evil with Dungeons, scheduled for release Q1 2011.
In Dungeons, the character assumes the role of the foremost of all Dungeon Lords, who spends his time trapping, torturing, and killing any hapless hero that ventures into his domain. After falling victim to a plot hatched by his evil ex-girlfriend, the Dungeon Lord must get revenge and fight his way back to the top of the Dungeon Lord ladder.
The title has the Dungeon Lord working under three rival Dungeon Lords, who aim to make his life as miserable as possible with inane and pointless tasks. With only his beginning army of goblins and his thirst for vengeance, the fallen Dungeon Lord makes his way toward sweet, sweet revenge.
According to the press release, Dungeons will host 20 different campaign levels featuring 10 rival hero classes and 15 "friendly" monster types.
The title will be playable at GamesCom which runs Aug 18-22 in Cologne, Germany.    Shitty SS quality coming through. Will post more once better ones are up This post has been edited by bobohead1988: Nov 7 2010, 12:29 AM

tk-nation wrote quite an article about this game. Perhaps you guys wanna read through it before setting yourself too high an expectation? http://tk-nation.com/articles/137/tk-natio...ook-at-dungeons

It's not exactly like Dungeon Keeper. It's also Hero theme park as you have to build nice things to attract heroes. Kinda like building a disneyland for heroes.

Yar, no exactly like TK but it's the closest to the concept I have seen in a while so I am also looking forward to it, RPS did an article about this a while back too.
DK games really were very very good

We've been so busy with the site revamp lately that it's not funny. However, we've just managed to take a look at the thread and I've something you guys might want to see . http://beta.dungeons-game.com/Kalypso Media is apparently taking in closed beta requests so if you're lucky, you may be able to test out the game before you try. They have pretty stringent requirements for their beta testers, though; you really do have to help them make the game good. =)

Yup, that's a lot of questions but I guess they just wanna make sure that you're not the type that try this game for an hour or two & throw it aside. I LOL'd at the question: Have you played Dungeon Keeper before?

I LOL'd at the question: Have you played Dungeon Keeper before?  They do. I mean, it does stand to reason that they would want to keep only the most dedicated players for their closed beta. They're pretty much making something that will be compared to Dungeon Keeper. People will be critical. Er, yeah. XD I think that one was unneeded.
