This game feels like it's just a skin for Stronghold 2, more of the same but with an Asian flair. I actually think they're missing a lot of buildings and resources. The only real change seems to be the Warlord feature that changes the way you buy and use estates on the map. I don't have any reason to play this over Stronghold 2. I don't see them adding much more to it, but if they do and makes the game feel more unique, I'll rebuy it. But as it is, it's not worth the price.
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.
