The main game is awesome. One of the best in the genre. The DLC leaves a good bit to be desired with a lot of levels being the escort mission or stop something from getting away, needing you to rush to get your minions out in a panic. And the balancing is all over the place with the DLC as well, with some of the Hero's that go down into your dungeon being so high a level that they nearly insta-kill your minions. Get the main game and enjoy the hell out of it. Save the DLC for after you've got al least a few hundred hours under your belt and are comfortable with rushes and the like.
