This is one of the best games ever made. Gameplay, graphics, sounds, HUMOR!, after 2-3 levels it will grab you and it won't let go. There are not many games out there with that kind of charm. At first it's a citybuilder. The incarnation of your will are the "Imps", magical creatures you make. They don't need gold, sleep or food, they will dig out your dungeon and obey any command. Without Imps your fucked. You dig out your "base", creatures will inhabit the dungeon. you have to train and manage those minions. at this point your in sim-mode, managing your established dungeon and dwellers, learning new powers as a supernatural ruler. At some point your realm will be attacked by heroes form the outside or another keepers will contest you. the game now becomes more aggressive and RTS like, you have to dig info unknown territory for more resources to grow your army. your using traps and magic to help your minions in battle against your enemies. enslaved foes can be tortured for information (map location of foe) or even "persuaded" to fight for your side (not bad to have a gandalf on your team). After crushing your enemies your free to explore the rest of the realm and even finde secrets to hidden levels or the ability to take the strongest of your creatures with you to the next level. For the best experience download the fanexpansion "KeeperFX". dungeon keeper 2 is alright, but nowhere near the charm of the first game.
