Dungeon Keeper™ 2

DK2 is fun and extremely addictive. The game still has some issues with random crashes, but these flaws were present in the original release by Bullfrog. That said, GOG has done a good job with their porting of the game.

Brilliant, reminds me of my childhood. Works great on Windows 10 too.

Overall a good game. However, I am a big fan of DK1 and I was quite disapointed by the game play (creatures moving and fighting in a low and clumsy way) and the campaign quality (too easy, too fast), clearly not as good as in the first opus. And the horned reaper call is quite a cheat!

The game description posted here does not do this game justice. This is hands down one of the best games ever made. I have lost months of my life enjoying it. Imagine you're a goodly hero, set loose upon lands to save a princess - right after you invade some dungeons and beat some dragons. It's the plot of many games. But wait - WHY do all these stupid dungeons exist, filled with monsters and treasure for no explicable reason? That answer is the Dungeon Keeper, and he exists because you do. Foolish goodly heroes need a place to charge brainlessly into battle, and you are that evil genius who builds these dungeons, luring them in, and righteously crushing them. Then amass treasure and monsters and dig more because, you know, this dungeon's not gonna build itself. Creatures get grumpy because they've not been paid. They glowstick dance because they won the jackpot. They mercilessly strike down sparkling heroes. The gritty voiceover guides you through the game, encourages you to be evil, and taunts you when you bore him. Play to 4am for a secret gaming tip.

The game freezes. It'll go for some time, then for no apparent reason, the video will freeze (though the game will still be playing). This seems to be a known issue, and GoG has apparently refused to fix it. So, save every time you do something you don't want to do again. I've been saving every 5 minutes or so. On rare occasions, it will unfreeze, but this has happened about twice out of dozens of lockups. So, great game, classic, otherwise runs well, but be prepared for the issue. Also, I had to download the patched map files, since the ones provided will not allow for spawned goblins, dark knights, and dark angels in several maps. You can search around to find them.
