Build a secret base, gain notoriety by completing daring missions, repel the forces of justice in real-time combat, and develop evil super-weapons to complete your nefarious master plan.
As a malevolent mastermind bent on achieving global domination, through the construction of the ultimate doomsday device, Evil Genius gives you all the dastardly with none of the muttley.
A tongue-in-cheek take on the spy thrillers of the '60s, offering you the unique opportunity to play the villain as you control a secret island fortress complete with powerful henchmen, loyal minions, ice-cold beauty queens, and a host of hilarious gizmos.
Will you dare to try how evil you are? In this real-time mad scientist lair management strategic simulation, you can!
Become the ultimate villain and take over the world!
Fun-packed gameplay with humor and cliché lurking around every corner
Unique, memorable characters and stylish, cartoonish visuals
Given this version a few chances over the years and while it's fun when it works, it too often doesn't. Crashes are the norm not the exception and they become increasingly common as you play. Tried across 2 machines and multiple OSes; game runs like an alpha on everything I've tried.
Would not recommend
I really recommend this game, one in a few of its type with a very addicting objective of achieving more than what you already have. I don't really even have time to write this I'm quit busy right now.
If you love the 1960s spy era, you're going to love the look and feel of this game, it's perfect.
The graphics and music really put you in the right mood.
Unfortunately, it's just a bit too difficult to be any real fun. The heroes are
very aggressive and very very tough.....the game quickly shifts from being fun
(building your base, training minions) to frustrating work (rebuilding your base
and recovering from incessant attack).
If you like being frustrated, buy this game. If not....don't.
I really wanted to like this game. Wonderful idea. Wonderful style. Terrible execution.
A bit like the Sims. A bit like Sim City. Mostly just a serious pain in the ass.
Normally I am a very patient guy. Perhaps I am just not very good at the game, but I have rage quit this game 4 separate times.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
