I'm torn on this one. The game very much evokes the memories of Dungeon Keeper, but at its core it's an RTS that hasn't kept up to date with modern RTS innovations. I don't care about rotating the camera or, in honestly, zooming in and out. What I really want is a way to select and group minions by dragging over them. As it stands, the interface gets in the way of what could be an otherwise fun game.

The primary voice actor is fantastic. The graphics are sufficiently pretty. It's just too cumbersome to be _fun_.

Hi Brad,

I'm not sure when you last played but we've made huge sweeping improvements since your review in 2016. We released the game in an unfortunate state in April 2015 but never stopped updating it. With over 80 updates since then, 7 major updates containing tonnes of new features it's an entirely different game.

We'd love to know what you think of the game and the new stuff, here are some features we've added since release:

- Map Editor & Workshop Support with full scripting to create custom campaigns
- Overhauled Main Campaign
- Four Expansions with dozens of new features each. One of these is completely free for you!
- New Game Modes
- Improvements across the board to the core game.
- Aesthetic Improvements
- Vastly improved framerate
- Entirely new Skirmish AI

Looking forward to hearing what you think,

Cian
