Ahh, the joys of destruction. If you ever wanna know how the villans always seem to return from the dead, get this game. If you ever want to see a fairy tale from a villians eyes, get this game. If you really like fluffy little sheep peacefully grazing in a field of green grass, put this one back on the shelf. Seriously, this game is twisted, but in a very humorous way. The game starts out with these Gremlins-type (yeah like the old movies, but the evil ones) creatures digging you up and getting you back to your evilish self. You're awakened to find your devilish castle in ruins by the good guys. There are various items that were stolen from your castle that you must get back to rebuild your evil empire. I am using the word evil alot in this one......

The gameplay is very Fable-like, you have the option of being evil, or really evil, though the really evil is not as evil as it could be. Your character is equipped with the option of controlling gangs of these "evil-Gremlins" to do your light, and sometimes heavy, work. They will attack anything living on command with a hellish vigor. They happily die for you with a crazy stirring laughter, now thats respect! You can unlock different types of "Gremlins" with different attributes, all at your control.

I have not completed the game at the time of this review, but I can say that it is a fun game with plenty of things to do, but without online play, will get old after a while, just as Fable did.
