DUNGEONS is shit

[Lesifoere]

So, so shit. It plays identically to Evil Genius, itself a mediocre game, except it's worse. It is no Dungeon Keeper, that's for certain, and even Overlord/Overlord 2 were much better takes on HURR I R EVIL OVAHLARD schtick. I can't over-emphasize enough how bad Dungeons is. The gameplay is clunky, the graphics and engine incredibly unoptimized, and the thing's pretty glitch-ridden.

Avoid, avoid.

Why so selfish? We must share the hate! Installing!

Are you really surprised? Everything about the game looked like a cheap rip-off. Now it turns out that they couldn't even do that properly.

 

[Konjad]

It's not that bad... though it's not good either. Mediocre game, fun for a while. Good I didn't expect DK though. It is indeed more like Evil Genius + Diablo + The Sims than DK.

I had some hope that it'd be a good diversion. Nothing deep, just somewhat fun. Germans cannot into making games.

The game is not bad. If you want a Dungeon Keeper 3 or Overlord, than you will be dissapointed. They only ripped off the graphics of DK, the gameplay is a little different. It is more like Evil Genius with a bit of hack 'n slash element. There are some bugs, but nothing game braking. Fun game overall. And seeing that this genre is dead, I'm more than happy with a fun, although flawed game.

Now that the Dungeons is out, Overlord is suddenly a great game, am I right? :skyway:

Overlord is still mediocre and has frustrating controls. Dungeons is a pile of horseshit. The game reminds me of a total conversion mod for sims.

Seconded. The conversion is so total, that it is a different type of game.

Basically. Only the Sims is more polished and less bugshit awful.

Tough luck. My version only had 1 bug.

Anyway, what do people want from this game anyway?

"HARRR, THIS GAME IS SHIT BECAUSE IT RIPS OFF DK!!!"

"But the gameplay is different from Dungeon Keeper."

"HARRRR, THAN THE GAME IS SHIT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T RIP OF DK ENOUGH!"

Damn people are such a fag sometimes.

 

[Andhaira]

@Lesifoere: Play Dominus. Its better than Dungeon Keeper.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

I'm going to delete the iso.

 

[Nostradumbass]

butthurt? it plays nothing like evil genius. EG is much better. dungeons isnt bad. suppose you were one of those who raged after they found out its not a DK type game, even though it never claimed to be one despite looking very similar.

 

[Lesifoere]

I'm going to delete the iso.

Do that.

FYI I'm not a huge DK fanatic, even. But the game's just not very good and the UI is finicky as hell.

I feel your pain. Sometimes it's like every opinion uttered on the codex flows together and it's as if a single, schizophrenic person were uttering hugely varying opinions. (Instead of a few thousand different posters rarely agreeing on anything.)

You see, people would be glad if it was a simple DK rip off with minor improvements, some new monsters etc.

People would be glad if it was known from the start the game would have nothing in common with DK except for art style. And if it was any good but I'm asking for too much here.

Your nick is very appropriate you know ? They surely didn't want to be recognized as DK rip off, sure. That's why the dungeon heart is there, the imps and one hundred other things that made DK what it was.

I raged pretty hard because the moment I was youtube previews I was certain it was DK 3 so to speak. Huge ass minotaur as Horny ? Check. Fighting as evil lord against some pesky heroes ? Check. Having your dungeon with various rooms etc ? HAHA WE GOT YOU BITCH. Those are not rooms, those are Sims TM gimmicks.

 

[J_C]

Huge ass minotaur as Horny ?

Why did you think that a minotaur in the trailer was Horny? I don't see the connection.

Fighting as evil lord against some pesky heroes ? Check.

Except that it is totally different than in DK, since practically you are helping the heroes to find treasure and loot. And you only kill them when their needs are satisfied.

On Codex? I doubt it.

The developers said it themselves, that the game doesn't want to be a DK3. And after reading the previews it was obvious for me, that while there are some common elements, this game will not be a new Dungeon Keeper.

You are telling me you don't see the obvious similarity ?

Except you realize that after you play the fucking game. First two missions are not showing the whole picture, too.

If they didn't want to be mistaken for a DK clone why all those similarities, even rip offs? Why did they have to go with a dungeon heart. Why with tunnel digging instead of wall building and shit?

All in all this game is so bad it doesn't deserve to lick DK's boots.

Well I guess they are similar, they both have horns. But the minotaurs are standard fantasy creatures, I didn't think that it meant to be Horny. If I'm not mistaken they are not even in the game. Just in the trailer.

Ok, the dungeon heart is a rip-off, I give you that. But I don't think that tunnel digging is licenced to DK, and only that game can use it.

All in all this game is so bad it doesn't deserve to lick DK's boots.

Then don't play it. I don't care.

shouldve just said, "herp derp herp! i dont know what a hommage is."

I really wanted to like Dungeons but I just don't. It's just too crap. Don't even bother to download it.

More like pandering/hyping elements to draw a bigger audience. They knew what they were doing.
