While I generally think this game is a thumbs up, I can't say I am entirely happy with the level of polish... or lack there of.

It truly feels like a sequel or spiritual successor to Dungeon Keeper 2, but seems to lack a little of the heart that went into that title. It has a similar sense of humor, but maybe a bit more drab than the old DK franchise. I can see that the devs loved DK and wanted to make this as close to that concept as possible, but in too many places it falls just shy of the potential.

The old Dungeon Keeper games had some bad bugs in them that made them almost inplayable at times and unfortunately this game does follow that same trend as well. That being said, the devs have not given up on this game and appear to be trying to fix, improve, and expand on the game months after it's full release, so here is to hoping this game gets enough love from both players and devs over time.

All said, it does feel like Dungeon Keeper 2.5... I just wish it had felt more like Dungeon Keeper 3. But still a fun game and if you want to try something new or something old that feels new again, give this game a try. Worth a play.
