The verdict
A faithful Dungeon Keeper successor with the narrator, humor and dungeon building, but the campaign leans on fast RTS rushing. Skip it if you want a slow, relaxed dungeon sim.
Great for
Dungeon Keeper fans who want a modern successor with humor, a returning narrator and many modes
Main risk
Expecting slow DK-style dungeon building and getting a timer-driven, rush-heavy RTS campaign
What players love
Great narrator, humor and voice acting
