A very trustworthy dutch game review site says its a downright copy of DK, with an extra RTS element (you can move to the surface and find new tunnels, caves, etc). Above ground its an RTS, below ground its DK. They also say,t looks, feels and plays like Dungeon keeper. FYI and to exclude ´omg bias´, the same website loathed the first Dungeons for not being like dungeon keeper.

Finally a remake that seems worthwhile! Hope springs once again after the EA abomination. Im siked, just thought I'd share

hmm still think war for the overworld looks more promising to staying as close to the original dungeon keeper as possible

wfto is taking it's bloody time though, I've been waiting for years and the progress is beyond slow.
If wfto ever finishes I'll be sure to try it out but that will probably take another bunch of years :'(

Hahahah, IGN and Dungeons. Been there before. No, Not even remotely. Even if they removed all the crap that made it NOT DK, they still had terrible voice acting that took away any and all immersion. DK is a dream and for gods sake, let's leave it at that.

This belongs in the gamergate thread tbh -_-. They just don't fucking learn, it's a fucking announcement!! Not a review in which you might suggest that it looks like DK, it's an announcement!!! You can't make titles like IGN does based on an announcement.

We're getting trolled, I feel it.

Dafuq? IGN isn't a developer, so don't know what they have to do with it. And this has even less to do with gamergate... what are you even on about?

I'd kill for a really solid DK game again, that's for sure.

The original Dungeons, said to be much like DK, was one of the original topics of bad game journalism. Like this one will be. And yeah, duh, IGN is a games journalism site. Hence Gamergate. Hence all this crap we're dealing with.

I don't even like TB, but you should watch this. Don't buy into the hype, wait for War for the Overworld.

The Dutch review started with that said about the first Dungeons indeed. It lacked stuff. Dungeons 2 however is as close to dk as it can be. It's literally a blueprint.

War of the overworld has very slow progression, that's all I know about it.

Those are reviews. You don't have to follow whatever I said to disprove it, I'm not the original source to begin with. Yes, after the fact, IGN took everything back. -edit: Misread. Acknowledging their original mistake doesn't mean they should repeat it. It's an announcement, nothing is out there yet.

Dungeons 2 is an announcement, why the fuck are you claiming it's as similar as can be? Why is IGN? Answer me, WHY?

The fact they put in a rainbow pony, should prove enough on the topic of being the soul successor of DK. In other words, NOT.

...Because the game's announced features and dungeon-building progression basically match Dungeon Keeper to a T? With the main departure being that they're adding another layer of progression where you go into the overworld on excursions for 'evilness' resource and killing hero outposts?

All we have to go on is what's been announced, and people are right that War of the Overworld has been stuck in developmental molasses forever.

Because unlike u, they had a preview and played trough a part of it... Why are you already condemning a game u haven't played?

Exactly, just like the first game; Everything was supposed to be similar or identical to DK, but in the end the exceptions were far greater than the common ground, which we didn't get to know until after release, because IGN among others, pretended that it was the second coming of DK. Which is why we should really, really, really, really, be very skeptical about this hype-train for dungeons 2.....

Dungeon Keeper did not have rainbow ponies and the reason isn't that they simply didn't add the model, the reason is that Kalypso managed to make it a slapstick of what DK once was, because they don't understand the sense of humor that DK brought. They're misinterpreting the atmosphere, the setting, the flow. And on top of that they add things that (again) never were in DK. So for all we know, it's not DK.

Why do people fall for the same tricks over and over again. Be realistic, learn to be skeptical.

There's a difference between healthy skepticism and simply inviting controversy for the sake of it.

Please read the title and OP again and then we can talk about unhealthy positives and negatives. There is no controversy, there is no game. You can't hype something to be something it's not, yet people always manage to do so, wrongfully.

Also, everything I just mentioned, is fact. That's how it happened. And those results now impact any anticipation for a sequel.

On my mobile phone atm. Is that about d1 or d2? Will watch when I get home.

Dungeons 1, starts at 3:40. And 2 as well actually, closer to the end of that part @~9:00

Next to the original dk gameplay they added an rts part aswell. You go trough a portal and invade the guys usually invading you destroying everYthing good and sweet in ur path. It's also a way to incorporate multiplayer and an exploration element because you can find new caves with bosses etc.

If u choose not to multiplayer or to go to the surface however, it's original dk.

Please don't make statements you have no knowledge of. IGN is the con artist among game journalism (there's a few more though). Don't believe them on their blue bright eyes. Wait for it to come out, read the RE-Views on more critical platforms and assume the worst. Once that still ends positive for you, buy the game.

Until then, you would be stupid to fall for it. Watch the TB fragments, read a bit about Gamergate, maybe you will understand why I'm saying this.

Also, keep in mind War For The Overworld has a release date now.

[Vankrys]

i didn't like dungeons very much. I bought it thinking it looks a lot like dungeon keeper on screenshot, but i should have read more review about it. It seems overwhelmingly complex to me. i just wanted to dig into wall, create room to attract and train my minion and they would defend my heart.

now, it is possible that dungeons' developer took notes from consumer feed back and apply some modification to make it more the sequel better.and then there is war of the overlord. seems interesting enough but i have no clue when this thing coming out.


speaking of bullfrog, theme hospital is one franchise i would be glad to see be revive (or a similar game is not exactly that franchise).
