Stressful
I hoped this would be something like Dungeon Keeper 2, but sadly, it is not. This is less of a relaxing dungeon building experience, and more of an RTS where you're constantly trying to douse one fire or another. If you like that sort of thing, this might be a game for you. But for me, it was not enjoyable to play even on normal difficulty, and there doesn't seem to be a better setting. Also, the narrator and main character constantly break the 4th wall, which is maybe funny the first time, but after that it quickly gets old. The game tries to be funny, but it really just gets across as trying too hard. I also constantly ended up in the wrong menus, like when I wanted to select my creatures I constantly ended up in the "creatures" menu, which is not for selecting but for hiring creatures, and I never hit the build menu quickly enough, which would be fine if the game was a bit more relaxed. But in a game where you're constantly in a situation where every second counts, that's not good. There's also a research tree, but I never really got to think about what I wanted to get because I also needed to direct my creatures in the overworld, while simultaneously building my dungeon in the underworld... you get the picture. Adding in an overworld was a nice try, but I think it would have been better if the game had just focused on a nice dungeon building experience. As it is, I won't play the game any further, even though I am technically curious about what else it would have to offer. However, since it is simply not enjoyable to play for me, I am going to miss out on that.
