Is Dungeon Keeper Gold™ worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Strategy players who want to manage an underground dungeon rather than rescue princesses
- Players who enjoy taking the villain's role instead of saving worlds
- Players interested in controlling creatures, defenses and spells within a dark fantasy setting
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a conventional hero-centered campaign may find the villain-focused premise restrictive.
- Players looking for activities outside dungeon management, creature control, defenses and battles may find the design narrow.
- Players who want a morally uplifting fantasy setting may not suit its underworld humor and destructive creatures.
Our take on Dungeon Keeper Gold™
The villain-centered design gives up the familiar heroic perspective. Instead of rescuing others or protecting a world, the game concentrates on maintaining a dungeon, controlling its inhabitants and opposing the Forces of Good. That focused premise limits its appeal for players seeking a conventional fantasy adventure.
What is Dungeon Keeper Gold™?
Construct an underground lair with winding passages, lethal defenses, magic and demonic troops.
As its keeper, draw monsters in with meals and sleeping quarters, then enforce order through punishment. Train the inhabitants for combat and send them to face the forces assembled by virtuous heroes. This strategy game combines building and defending a dungeon with managing its creatures and fighting on their behalf. Its humor is dark, and its story puts the player in the villain’s role rather than asking them to rescue princesses or save worlds.
