Advantages: Playability, Addictiveness, Atmosphere
Disadvantages: None
Dungeon Keeper is an excellent, very playable and very addictive game. Basically you have to build dungeons, build bigger and better dungeons and beat the opposition (other dungeon keepers). This involves using your 'Imps' to dig and then make different types of rooms (ie. Lair, Hatchery, etc) you also need to atract as many different creatures to your dungeon as possible, different creatures posses different powers. You can even take control of creatures and imp's using a first person perspective view. The graphics and sound effects in this game are excellent. The playabliliy and addictiveness is superb.
Keys features of the game:
a) Good strategy element:
You have to control all of the creatures that live in a dungeon, you start with a small dungeon and have to use imps to to dig yourself more rooms, as you start digging there is a chance that you could dig into enemy teritory, therefore you have to be very careful at the begining of the game and take notice of advice given to you at the start of the game. As you build more rooms, more creatures are attracted to your dungeon, each creature has varying strengths and you really need to get a good selection of creatures before attempting to attack the enemy. You also need to build training rooms to train your creatures, this improves the strengths of the creatures.
b) 1st person perspective:
You can take control of any creature and completely control that creature, this allows you to go into combat (just like quake), this is a wonderful addition to the game.
c) Available on budget:
Therefore it is an absolute bargain.
d) It is very difficult to stop playing this game, as you move through the levels, each level gets harder and larger and you never know what will happen next.
If you like strategy/action games and have some time to spare I would definately recommend it.
