Description

Being the Dungeon Keeper and all, this is your home, too. And it’s your business to take these loathsome creatures of darkness and hone them into screaming, frothing, clawing forces of destruction. Lure them in with food and the promise of dank and fetid places to sleep. Keep them in line with the back of your hand and the threat of dire consequences. Pit their scaly hides against the best that the Forces of Good can muster, and they’ll die for you as they rip steaming entrails out of the hapless heroes. 

It’s a degenerate and nasty job…and you love it. Yes, home is where your heart is. In a box. Packed in salt. That's right — Dungeon Keeper, Bullfrog's classic dungeon management strategy, gives you no extra credit for having any morals. After all, the underworld isn't black and white! 

Key features: 

 

  • Includes Dungeon Keeper and the Deeper Dungeons expansion.
  • Revolutionary game packed with tons of dark humor, an impressive variety of hellish creatures, and highly addictive gameplay
  • Build your dungeon & protect it with a labyrinth of dark corridors, a web of deadly traps, an arsenal of powerful spells, and an army of bloodthirsty demons
  • A refreshing title for someone tired of rescuing princesses, saving worlds, and all that love, happiness, and political correctness junk. Just this once, be the bad guy!

Resolution not a problem in this version

This game is great. Yes I wish it were "Dungeon Keeper Gold" with Deeper Dungeons and I wish the soundtrack was part of the bundle; but the resolution options are find, they just have to be set. Before you start the game you must run the "Graphic Mode Setup" provided with the game (default under start>programs>gog.com>dungeon keeper.) Once in the game enable hi-res mode by as previously stated all over these reviews and forums, pressing ctrl+r. Here's to hoping they give us the rest some day.

Save your money.

Music and certain speech audio are choppy, and very low resolution graphics...I've played the game before, I know what it should look like. Odds are my system is too fast, which is the cause for the audio issue, but if you advertise compatibility with Windows 7, make sure it's effing compatible with Windows 7...and to think I was about to slay some heroes....

Can't beat the original...

After testing the appalling version EA submitted on the AppStore, I desperately needed the original... Thank you gog.com for this version at a great price... I really missed the 1st person pov.! Great game for a generation who thinks that FarmVille, Tapped Out, and every other darn' freemium game is anything of a good game...

Good old times!

I own several versions of this game. Have played through it several times using different tactics. I hoped Dungeons to be spiritual successor of Dungeon Keeper but was disappointed. In DK it is sandbox and freedom which we do not see so often anymore. This game wants you to experiment and think on your own. Do you use only couple of reapers to defeat the enemy or entire army of them? Or use one, possess it and chop the enemy to pieces by yourself. DK2 was a bit watered down for me in some aspects and not as fun. But I played it non the less. My only gripe is that I would like the D3D patch for GOG version. That would make the graphics much better.
