Fantastic game, genuinely good humour, well thought out story and a focus on some really interesting mechanics.

Don't debate, get the game now and enjoy!

Very much in favour of this stupid, unbeatable, head-wreck of a game.

No, i actually mean it's good... just hard.

My review is based in the rose tinted machinations of nostalgia having played both Warhammer III and Dungeon Keeper (1 & 2).

Based on that rose tinted knowledge, I would happily give this game a thumbs up, and i'll summarise the reasons why you might want to buy this game:

- Developers are good at adding new content and updating.
- Dungeon building is always easy and the option to replace dirt will help those with OCD like tendencies.
- Easy to understand mechanics, and the balance between overworld and dungeon play is well put together.
- Nice variety of units
- Story mode was pretty good for helping get used to the gameplay.
- The game pacing is much better than Dungeons 2
- Addition of evil points is a nice touch (research menu is much better).

Some things that gave me a headache.

- Once you reach a certain point in a game it becomes boring, if you set up a certain trap combo, nothing can get through.
- Whilst unit variety is nice, i always end up building the same dungeon over and over again.
- The humour is good, but you don't need to break the fourth wall every ten seconds, it just makes for elongated and pointless dialogue.
- Story mode is fun, but repetative in later levels.
- I hardly ever use the spells other than portal, they don't seem overly useful otherwise.
- I liked the option of different factions in Dungeons 2, I miss that aspect.

If you're looking at getting either this or War for the Overworld, I personally prefer Dungeons 3 as it's a little bit tidier, and suits my 'just going to play a game for an hour after work' lifestyle. However, if you're looking for a pure dungeon keeper 2, then go for war for the overworld.

Hope this helps.

Don't waste time reading this, just go buy it.

Too soon they respawn,
monsters of Ardania,
oh God, the horror.

Ecellent little chunkette of a game.

This title excells in showing that perhaps our own innate weaknesses can be considered strengths and, also that perhaps our strengths and confidence can sometimes be a great burdon. Also: you get to hit stuff with a sword and little numbers pop up.

Well crafted, but perhaps a little self indulgent with the developers leaving little easter eggs demonstrating their rise to success.

Fully reccomend but best played with a control pad, also play in small chunks, death is exceedingly common in this game... unless I'm just really bad at it.

Excellent fun with friends.

Is all diggin' n' stuff, yo.

Fallout in a whole new light...

Fun and SAFE!
