Tried it out last night and my advice? Don't get it if you are getting it for the sake of the old Dungeon Keeper. Practically nothing of the original game play (though wall digging is still there and the whole frigging game is actually designed like DK game).

To be fair (and not demeaning), it is quite fun using Deimos to run around and smacking heroes down (you can build up stats and learn skills from three different skill trees). I did find it annoying though, that you as some big ass Dungeon lord and yet you can't control/order your minions to attack a specific hero. You will usually have to chase and kill them yourself (maybe there's more bigger unit to spawn in the later stages though, I am still in the early stages).

Anyway, I guess as how Kalypso said it previously (on the interviews), play it as a different and new game and stop imagining it as a revival of Dungeon Keeper, it will be much more satisfying.

So, its more of a Overlord kind of gameplay to kill heroes?

ik3da you more or less summarized lots of reviews I read about the game, not a bad game per se but for a game so inspired from DK it's quite different.

Personally it's more the 40usd price that is stopping me for now, I feel it's a bit pricey for me at the moment for a game that lots are saying gets quite repetitive quickly

Most probably will wait for some sales for that one but high chance I get it once the price is lower

Apart from the goblin controlling part, yeah, it is very similar to an Overlord game with you controlling the overlord to kill/break stuff. Dungeons does give you more RPG style with the stats/skills build though.

Put in a few more hours last night, and I was inspired enough to install back my old Dungeon Keeper 2 instead. The walls digging and rooms keep reminding me that I had so much more fun in DK2 instead of Dungeons. Seriously, save the money and wait for a sale as Gormaz said it.
