Dungeons 3

I didn't especially want to jump on the bandwagon, but the game really really wanted me to leave a review, so here it is. - If you don't care about single player, you can add an extra star. The game is a fine single-player experience, - If you only want to crush your little brother in MP... Then you better hope there's a matchmaking server ready and willing to let you play with him. Some other, older titles on GOG have the same issue, of course, but in this day and age I would expect better.

Dungeons 3 is a very enjoyable game and a refreshing take on dungeon management and RTS games. The graphics are beautiful, the voice acting is great and the music is so good. The narrator's familliar voice and narrating style fits well with the humour and all the references make me smile and shake my head at the same time. I was confused at first thinking it would be more like the DK games but the tutorial explains everything very well. It's an easy to understand game but hard to master. The overworld has all the same controls as an RTS with all the base building happening underground in the twisted DK style. If you liked the Dungeon Keeper and the Warcraft RTS series... and maybe The Stanley Parable... you'll love this game! My only 4 cons to the game are: 1. The UI is a bit difficult to use with everything being at the very edges of the screen. 2. The humour is a bit in-your-face and too much for my taste. 3. There is zero customization for your hero. 4. I miss the old, demonic sounding narrator of the DK series. If these points don't bother you, this is a 5 star game, but I just can't give it a full 5 starts. Dungeons 3 is an amazing game and I'm just happy to have a good, modern DK game again.

I was a fan for Bullfrog and I've played Dungeon Keeper 2 for many many hours in my childhood. In the past few years, I've always keep an eye for its (likely) predecessors, tried a few but none of them met my expectations. So far I've had a couple of hours in this game and I think this might be the most enjoyable predecessor I've played. There are a few things I think worth mentioning about his game: 1. This game has improved a few things from DK2, such as room building and minion managing. The difficulty is fairly good, the normal difficulty is not too hard but still takes patience to beat. Each level doesn't feel too repetitive for there are many ways to play it. 2. I think the narrator is from "The Stanley Parable" and he's doing a very great job this time too. The narrative was cleverly written with a bunch of humorous dialogs and funny "not references", making it very enjoyable for the campign (tutorial included). 3. Three complete different systems of minions and the overworld(the Good's) part offers more possibilities on game strategies, more tactics to try out. I think this is particular better than DK2 where I would always just horde a lot of black knights, mistress and warlocks and throw them to the enemies. I'm from chinese so my English might not be very good. In short I think it's good and a worthy predecessor to DK2. Still I haven't got to the end of the game, I'll update my review if I think there's anything differnt.

Mechanics and Visuals are very well fleshed out. There are some bugs here and there, which are a little bit annoying, but they have not stopped me from playing. The humor is forced at points so it can feel overwhelming, it's simply "too much" - it feels like it tries to be funny at all times and at all costs - less would have been more in that regard. Still, it is indeed a very enjoyable game.
