Being bad can be a lot of fun.
User Rating: 8.7 | Dungeon Keeper 2 (Classic) PC
I bought this game in a pack of five games distributed as a "horror gaming" package. Whatever that means. I bought the pack for Alice and Undying. To my pleasant suprise the game that caught my attention and my gaming time was Dungeon Keeper 2. This game puts you in control of a, well, a Dungeon Keeper who has to build traps and gather creatures to fend of Knights on a valiant quest to take you crystal. The premise alone would make most game incredibly fun. If I had to compare the game to anything, I would say it is like being on the reverse side of Diablo, but more in the style of WarCraft and games like that. The game has a lot of humor and doesn't take being the dark lord of the underworld too seriously, which is good. On some missions you gain extra points at the end if you have slapped your creatures so many times. The game can be difficult and there is a lot to manage, but a friendly (and sometimes annoying) voice helps you out. They let you know to build for food or places to sleep and they constantly let you know that your portal has given as many creatures as it can, over and over again. Maybe I was doing something wrong that I kept getting that message. The game though is tons of fun. It is something to look for in bargain bins and used game stores. The game might not be easy to find though, because there is a lot of reply value to this game. You can find hidden secrets in the levels and even after you finish the game there are "pet dungeons" that you can control and have a lot of with as well.
