Thread: Dungeons != Dungeon Keeper 3

Dungeons is the new game that just came out that advertises itself as the unofficial DK3. Unfortunately, it isn't. It's an OK game in its own rights, but you lose a lot of the original flavor of DK.
They have imps, they have gold, they have digging, they have heroes, your dungeon keeper is sided with the "evil underworld".
They don't have sexy mistresses cracking their whips for you, nor do they have Bullfrog's wry wit.
You can't move your critters around the dungeon, you can't slap your chicken (nor do they even have chickens), you spawn imps and hope they will follow orders, Leveling your monsters is much less personal, all of your critters gain level based on your dungeon heart's level, and just adds HP and damage. Your dungeon lord has an RPG'ish talent tree to progress through which determines skills, abilities, spells and traits. This allows customized playstyle but adds some unneeded complexity really.
And there is no multiplayer so no enjoying it with your friends.
Overall, I wish I had realized how little like the original Dungeon Keeper it is before I pre-ordered it. If you want to play/purchase it, I recommend checking out some videos of the play style before you purchase.

I completely agree that it isn't a dungeon keeper 3...it's more like a boring crappy tower defense...without the towers.
