Test: Strategy game for PC: Dungeon: The new jailer in the test

Why are you the Dungeon Lord become such a nasty type - sad childhood, a domineering older brother, a lengthy illness - no one knows for sure. Fact is: You are a common representative of evil that does nothing better than to unsuspecting hero in his dungeon: lure (English Group), it there with great finds (like treasures and old books) to make the first happy and then caught for .

take In the catacombs you deprive the poor guys their soul energy. The force you use as currency to expand prison and move up the hierarchy of hell. In "Dungeons" You are not the shining hero who saves the virgin, but he who brings the Virgin into trouble - but the family safe. As great as it sounds, life is not the villain: The development of Dungeons and capture the hero requires coordination and hard work.

It causes sometimes bruising. But what you do not anything to take revenge. For ex-girlfriend, a nasty demon bride Calypso, you have not only sacked, but when you leave the dungeon also left the door open for hero hordes. Your luxury cave was lost - you literally start again at the bottom - at least if you play long and entertaining campaign.

They fight their mission to mission through dungeons share, against different opponents to defend, always get new construction possibilities - until you end up back Calypso face ... That simple gameplay (build, fight, reap grow), so complex and sometimes complicated the process: With six build menu it starts, three currency types added - soul power, prestige, gold.

Last but not cost some structural changes, one, two or all three currencies. idle to speculate whether this would not have gone easier. It is certainly challenging and beginners can really have no chance, a leg, a claw or butt to get on the floor. Enthusiasm comes to professionals in strategy, because the amount of menus and options is huge.

The stimulus to descend into the dungeons force, the developers through parody, irony, and various allusions. That the inhabitants of the dark dungeons are not necessarily to take seriously, occupied an example: in many roles and strategy games read during the load times a wise saying. About "Go out of the fire," or "Did you know that you beat with magic XY and opponents of type AB?" Stands at Dungeons: "Did you know that give a lot of games wise tips to divert attention from unnecessarily long load times "It is a fine art, entry, entitled, tension and break optimal balance.

Here is weakening, "Dungeons". Initially, little going on, limits the variety. Later ruled hustle if you want to create all the tasks. Graphically, the game displays impressive in the eponymous basement, but the figures are drawn listless and unattractive. Nice idea, good ideas, many properly done, some not - so it can be summarized "Dungeons" short.

Who has fun in unusual settings, in strategy (focusing on structure) and knows above all is his hobby and sometimes laughs, which prepares the game several precious hours. The newcomers, however loses because of the many menus and options will soon track and find the treasure chests in the dungeons more frustration than pleasure.

Who puts increased emphasis on outward appearances, also has reason to bleat - consistently top itself does not show the graphic. Peter Molyneux brought out very similar to "Dungeon Keeper" back in the 90s: And yes, the new idea is not. Nevertheless, those who like games generally disappointed the "Dungeons" pretty sure not.
