Oh, how good it is to be bad!

Very interesting and fun game which I end up sucking at... Easy to learn, but hard to play if you never had any experience with managerial games before. Building an elaborate evil base with diabolical traps that destroy (or at least push away) anyone stupid enough to challenge your greatness by stepping foot in said evil base can be rather fun. It does get tedious though when trying to balance everything at one time... Building your base further while keeping out intruders and watching your men on the world screen to make sure they aren't getting their butts kicked by some officers can be taxing. The game is awesome, but only if you are REALLY good at multitasking.

Superb, Nostalgic and Unique

This game looked awesome the moment I saw the cover. So aesthetically pleasing and the gameplay is mint. If your into RTS games then this is a definite winner

Requires a love of the genre

This is a Sim/Tycoon game, and no matter how much you like James Bond / Austin Powers, the gameplay will wear thin unless you like these kinds of games. That said, Evil Genius perfectly nails the experience of playing a supervillain, from the text to the missions to the minion animations to the background music.

My experience with it

This game is cool, like a mix of Dungeon Master and James Bond. It has humor and doesn´t take itself so serious. If you know some old spy movies, it´s even funnier. The best part (for me) is to build traps, creative people sure have fun doing it. And the option to build hotels is a good way to get some income. The cartoon graphic fits and the different screens for actions are easy to understand. The only negative things are that the islands never changes and the "population limit". If I wouldn´t bought Evil Genius after it was released, I would do it now

Don't download for Mac 10.11

Doesn't work on El Capitan. Just crashes to desktop while booting up... no loader or anything. Be warned. The game is great though... Seriously
