Looks like dungeon keeper is coming to phones. The link even has a shout out to GoG.

I might like this if the microtransactions aren't required to play. We shall see...
I'm sorry, but how can you call that thing Dungeon Keeper?
I kind of want to play this but you just know that it won't be that good. However I hope it does well so then may be we will get a sequel (which could be good)
its a fee to play game and its decent. Stick to the real thing or play this just don't buy anything.
I played this for a while to give it a fair chance, even though I didn't like the look of it.

My summary is: If you're looking for a mobile-style "building strategy" game (think Simpsons Tapped Out) then this is probably a good choice for you. If you're looking for a class Dungeon Keeper style game, this most probably is not for you.

It does have some of the Dungeon Keeper humour, creatures and ideologies, but otherwise it's not really much of a Dungeon Keeper game.
There are microtransactions for all the usual tricks - things to buy, speed up this activity that you would otherwise have to wait hours for, etc.
There are time based things that you can do in the game that you will be prompted to return the playing for - such as slapping your imps to get a 2x efficiency bonus.

So yeah, it's a bit of a shame that this is how Dungeon Keeper gets renewed, but if you do like mobile games it is worth playing.

Any day I am expecting EA to announce a fee to play mobile version of Populous, must be some reason they have the original on Origin.
Reviews are starting to go up. Ouch
1/2 out of 5.

From the review
That's Dungeon Keeper. One of the worst examples of a cancer that is eroding the market and has already destroyed the credibility of the once promising mobile gaming sector. Even worse, it's taken a beloved series and dragged its name cruelly through the mud. Things don't get much more reckless, shameless, and spineless than this. I hate everything about Dungeon Keeper for mobile, from the ground up.]That's Dungeon Keeper.

The dungeon keeper mobile is eh, but as always screams RIP ME OFF that is the signature of EA

On the plus side for those who have not heard there IS a dungeon keeper styled game in the works, but of course not done by E(greedy)A

If you have steam look up a game called War for the Overworld......if you know a lot about dungeon keeper that was originally to be dungeon keeper 3 but now a completely new kickstart from a british company is making it their own. some minor differences imo like name changes and such but definitely, to me has the dungeon keeper feel. Not this game is not finished yet it is in alpha and according to the devs they have communicated with EA about what they can and can not use so as to prevent EA backlash

My favourite line from the Gamasutra article is: "5-star ratings from you help us provide free updates!"
Played it on my friends phone,

Its typical browser free-to-play game wrapped in an app for mobile devices, didnt like it.
Has a scent of DK on it, but its far away from it.

I would rather wait for War for the Overworld while playin other good old games...
One thing to EA's credit is they are a good sport with things if someone can do better than they can with a property. They are leaving the overworld people alone plus they let InXile have access to the original bards tale trilogy games as bonuses in their Bard's Tale title. Also giving them the Wasteland license was great too.

Well, at leats it makes a original DK and DK 2 to sells better here. (have no other explanations why DK 2 and DK are now on top 2 places in bestsellers)
a sequel to dungeon keeper 2 will never be any good for one reason and one reason only... EA!!!
