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!

A new kind of RTS

Even with its dated graphics and ancient release date, Dungeon Keeper from the old Bullfrog group is a new type of game. You play the evil dungeon keeper and you get to lure the heroes of the world to their doom -- and take their treasure. The graphics are good enough to see what's going on. The sounds and music are fun and fitting. And there's enough moxie to keep you laughing, hideously laughing, at your enemies' demise. If you like RTS games and you're looking for something new in an old game, you'd do well to pick this one up.

Great game, but missing some bits

Really I'd have expected the Deeper Dungeons to be bundled with this, along with the level editor. Otherwise, a great release.

Where is Deeper Dungeons?

While I'm overjoyed that someone in the industry had the good sense to offer what is essentially the same crack that has been illegally available for years for a reasonable price this is only part of the Dungeon Keeper package. Unfortunately for the full experience the consumer may still have to use a crack as the old DK:DD won't work on modern OS. Still, I would absolutely encourage everyone to pay this game and reward this behaviour and if enough of us do so they'll get around to publishing the crack of DD and I will happily pay them another $3 for that too.

Please include the XP port

I had never tried dungeon keeper before and it was free for valentines day so I figured why not, its free. So I got the game and installed it and when I saw it has to run on dos-box and I knew this was going to be bad. I started playing and beat the tutorial and played a few levels but then I couldn't stand it any more. The sound is bad, it has constant lag spikes and it just makes it unplayable. Please gog, get the XP port on here and I'm sure the game will be much more enjoyable.
