IMHO Better than dungeon keeper

As teenager this game was mind-blowing for me. It's very polished, has a unique style and the gameplay is pure awesomeness. The layouting of a base, the trap building, the slow but steady advancements of your troops, the science - it's all so much fun! Don't know about this build, but on my old XP computer the game ran rock-solid without hanging or crashing even once. Can't say the same about DK... Only thing missing in this game is replayability value. Once you played it to the end, there's probably nothing you haven't seen.

It's fun to be the Villain

With it's Bond-esque big band music, evil henchmen and jumpsuited minions, this is the dream game for anyone who ever felt that special need for a secret base hidden in a volcano. I just keep coming back to this game over and over again, a timeless classic of diabolical evil.

I loved the Game

I got this game on a whim because I like RTS games, as soon as I opened the game I was transported to the 60s in to a James bond/ Austin Powers cartoon. You play one of three evil geniuses, every different evil genius has different skills so choose your evil genius wisely. You may have noticed you have three basic minions and one henchman, like your evil genius your Henchman has his own specific skills too. Your goal is to take over the world. How I hear you ask? Build an underground lair of course. Be careful with the design of your rooms once its build you cant go back. You cant run the world with that number of staff, so you will need to build a barracks straight away to get more minions in your staff roster. At the start of the game. It will look like your building a hotel for your minions but once you have build the basic rooms (more importantly your control room.) You will have the ability to send your minions world wide to Plot, Steal and complete jobs. This is where your multitask skills would come in handy. You will find your self cycling back and forward to your lair to map view trying to juggle killing spies or capturing them and sending your guys to steal, plot or do jobs. Worth mentioning also is you will have to micromanage mostly everything especially your avatar evil genius you do not want him in any room with spies. Don't worry though you can build traps, Armoury and freezer rooms to help you out. Oh No the electric cut off just remember to save a big room for your power plant this will get annoying once you build many rooms but I am afraid it as to be done. In the later game you will have enough minions to upgrade to scientist minions and enough money to build better new exciting rooms for all your staff. You will see a lot of the objects have upgraded like doors and traps. You will also be building a hotel to keep the spies occupied and off your tail. So there is a lot to do in this Fun packed 60s James Bond cliche game. I loved it 5 Stars

less Genius and more super-talented.

This is a game I missed when it first came out. Something just didn't charm me into buying it. Thanks to GOG I got that second chance. I don't regret buying it now, just maybe more that I never back then. As good as it is, and it's addictive and quirky, it feels lacking in something, some magic, and maybe that is more about it belonging to a previous generation of games more than it not being exceptional. The music is good, graphics look dated but still playable. Animations are surprisingly as good as we get nowadays, and in the case of Mass Effect Andremda, far better! It's simple to pick up, easy to play, and a fantastic game. I don't however find it funny, that was a selling point, people found it funny. Maybe I'll get my funny bone checked out at Two Point Hospital when that comes out... I just feel like It's missing some gameplay, or time has caught up with it. I've spent many an hour on the world map wondering if that is all there is to the game once your base has max occupants and you're waiting for the challenge bits to be accessible, moving the sttory/events on requiring hitting certain infamy levels and due to this it feels a bit grindy. I'd recomend it to anyone that had it back in the day as it's still addictive and as good as most games out there, I feel that my review is scored on the fact that after 2 decades of hearing how awesome it is, I still don't see it maybe for what others do, a classic.

Maniacal, Addictive, and Fun

Unfortunately, Evil Genius isn't part of my GOG.com history, but that also means that I had much more time to play it over the years. Since inception on my venerable PC many years ago, I've spent hundreds and hundreds of hours enjoying the simple but enjoyable premise of this game. You take on the titular role of one of three evil masterminds and, from there, build and layout a base to your own whims, adding such notable greats as minion training rooms, gold vaults, command centers, and the more practical mess halls and infirmaries. As agents of good try harder and harder to penetrate the security of your base, regrettably to some success, you yourself develop more and more goodies to combat them with. You unlock chains of dedicated minions in three tiers, from the lowly but useful construction workers to the important mercenaries and playboys. Minions themselves are divided into combat, social, and science chains; Each tree has advantages, and you'll need plenty of all three kinds to progress. Later on, when research comes to the fore, you'll find yourself waiting in anticipation for each crazy concoction of tests to finish to discover what new toy you've unlocked. Science minions, like all of your loyal subjects, mostly go about their own business. They wander your base at their own discretion, and take notes on technological finds, devices, and even stolen loot you've garnered in your travels. The results vary--some research gives you new gun racks, hidden turrets, or more efficient prison cells. Others unlock traps, like bees that inject their target with a nerve agent, or a giant outdoor tesla coil. Base building itself, and traps as well, are a large part of the game. For the dedicated professional, streamlining rooms and rooms together into a cohesive hidden lair is largely fun and time-consuming, as addictive to me as any game I've played, and, of course, can pay off with hilarious results, especially when you throw traps into the mix. Agents can be strung into trap chains for a monetray reward, if the personal enjoyment isn't enough, and cunning players can devise long-term strategies for devastating base designs. Evil Genius isn't without flaws. Sometimes, adding rooms becomes tricky; Late in the game, after much of your island is covered, it becomes difficult to add or remove rooms without causing major problems, as you can only add onto already built rooms, not remove from them, unless you delete the room entirely. The game's lack of direct control can also cause some excruciating moments, but then, I imagine any Bond villain who watches his lackeys prance about uselessly when he's literally right around the corner...well, I have sympathy for them, now. All told, however, Evil Genius is, for me, a perfectly matched game. If you enjoy building a base, plotting world domination and revenge, hiring a motley crew of right-hand men, looting the world's riches and setting up traps, then come on in, the evil's fine.
