Dungeon Keeper™ 2

I stumbled across Dungeon Keeper 2 on sale, and my first impuse was "This game is WAY too old and so cheap, it probably is just overhyped by nostalgic gamers reliving their childhood". I was very wrong. This game is still one of my top favorite games of all time, and I do not see that changing anytime soon! This game had me LOLed with the movie clips, unique minions, and narrator commentary. The combination of dungeon building, managment, and battles including first person view and direct participation? AMAZING and way ahead of its time! The levels were a perfect combination of challenge and adapting, where one strategy does not work in every level so you are forced to think and be creative! What makes it stand out; This game has a uniqe style of balanced gameplay, somewhere between dungeon crawler, action, and management. I have played several games that have tried this approach of multi-genre with very little success. The graphics are a bit cartoony and definitely retro, but they just work so beautifully! The developers obviously put serious thought into the gaming experience, every 15 second video clip, new minion reveal, or narrator comment had laughing, smiling, or gasping at the audacity! If you love RPGs, Dungeon Crawlers, Simulation and/or Mangement Games, you need to give this game a shot!

I've been playing this on and off again since I was a child (weak and stupid). I love GoG for making it compatible for later generations of Windows, and for having one of my favourite games on their list. Great game, with great spells, and a great setting. It's a pity EA bought the studio and ran this old and small franchise to the ground.

I just bought this, installed and fired it up. Runs great. Super stoked to be playing again. Some minor audio glitches during the 'cut scenes'. Super minor since it's all in text that i can read afterwards. But everything else so far is great. Way To Go GOG. I still own this CD and the cd install keys somewhere. But this was totally worth the $5.99. Glad to support games like this kept alive. Graphics still OK.

Quirky, recognizable and funny: Dungeon Keeper 2 is one the most beautiful depiction of an 'Evil Lord' simulation of all time. As a... welp, technically it's a strategy game, and there is a little bit of strategy. But in actuality for the majority of time you'll be digging and constructing your liar. Furthermore, the Managment of your minions shall be a key part in this game. I really like the idea of not being able to controller them directly... although you can still pick them up, smack them around (as a true D&D BBEG), rally them or directly possess them through the use special spells at your disposal (yes, you can control them but it's not like clicking around and directly see your order carried out). As far as story and design go, they are done in a satirical way and have that particularly jovial humour of the age (90's) which is quite enjoyable. So, worth buying? As one the masterpiece of the past and as a true classic of the entirety of the genre (still unbeaten), and also considering that to this day is still fresh, enjoyable and a blast to play... yes? go buy it now... It's a Keeper! (yuck)

I finished playing the original Dungeon Keeper, but was unsure whether I should download the second one or not because of the negative compatibility reviews. Those are old. There are very slight compatibility problems now, as the serious problems have evidently been sorted out. The slight problems are not always there for me, but are just hiccups when starting the game up. If the hiccups persist I will just switch to safe mode and everything will run perfectly and smoothly. All the old problems that may have been there have been sorted. I'm running Windows 7 and also downloaded and installed all the items that could be installed from this download. So, everything works now. The game itself is absolutely awesome, by the way.
