How good is Dungeons 2?

[Potato PC]

Hello,

I just grab this game for free at Humble Bundle, but i wonder how good is this game in terms of story and gameplay?
I really like RPG games with good story, but usually i pass if the story isn't good.

It's ok. 7/10 in my book which isn't bad at all (also it's not an RPG). If you've ever played Dungeon Keeper you'll feel right at home.

Hi Wooden PC.
As @BDK already pointed out (thank you for that ) Dungeons 2 is no RPG at all. It is a Dungeon-Simulation and RTS.

The story is actually ok, but very funny. The gameplay is great! I had to pull myself away from it last night because I had a hard time putting the game down.

RTS and funny story, i'll try this game and maybe buy 1st dungeon/dlc if i'm satisfied, thanks for the answer.

Also check the Expansion A Game of Winter for Dungeons 2. This overs there overall gameplay-time of the Dungeons 2 campaign and even more. Plus it adds a whole new faction: The Undead.

So far, Dungeons 2 is more Dungeon Keeper then Dungeons 1 was, you now have to conquer both the underworld and overworld, something we always wanted when Dungeon Keeper 3 was announced, sadly that was one of the many promises that got taken from us. So far Dungeons 2 is fateful to the Dungeon Keeper formula, so I am very happy about that! (Seeing as I didn't like Dungeons 1 because it looked like the new Dungeon Keeper, just to find out it was not even close.)

I personally think the game is a lot of fun (so far). I'm loving the RTS mode along with that "Overlord" vibe it has if you ever played those game series. The story so far is pretty good along with the narrator's voice/humor. The graphics remind me of Warcraft 3 Battlechest which I really enjoy (just wish they made a 4th).

As for the game I suggest you try it out yourself. What do have to lose? It's only a 3gb or less download plus you got it for free like me. Only you can decide whether or not you'll like it since everyone has differen't opinions/likings.

I'm already looking forward to Dungeons 3 after playing this one.

from what i have seen its not a dungeon sim on the same niveau of a dungeon keeper

but it offers diffrent things, like "deeper" roombuilding (while lacking overall roomdiversity, from what i have seen at least if you compare it to dungeon keeper), and a rts section in terms of the overworld.

the story and general worldbuilding is more like pretty flat and childish humor, but it fits the gamestyle enough to not be annoying.

i can say that it is currently the best dungeon simulator we have, since the genre is a very small niché anyways :;c

i really like it. i got the dlc's today and started playing a game of winter. So far it is really good ! I like the commentator alot. Makes things that would annoy me because they are predictable funny.

It's fun if you like building/management sims. The RTS aspect is a little weak, but the animations are cool and it's fun to sent your critters rampaging across the landscape. A Game of Winter is a great add-on campaign, it's pretty challenging and I enjoyed it more than the regular campaign.

I would not say Dungeons 2 is faithfull to the DK formula, if that were what you were looking for you should look at war of the overworld more, that does NOT mean Dungeons 2 is bad, in fact I far prefer Dungeons 2 of war of the overworld, even though I loved DK2 as well (some of the main differences between DK formula and Dungeons 2 being that you actually have to manually recruit troops in Dungeons 2 where in DK (and War of the overworld) they spawn automatically out of the portal, as well as having to research upgrades and the like for your troops in Dungeon 2 as well. Is definatly in the same genre as DK, but is not a faithfull copy, one of the few that actually does it right without copieing imo, most dungeon managements games, just fails to captire the essense of what makes the genre great
