I really liked this game. I played basically non-stop for a week, and it's super addictive. But it's also pointless. What is the goal? To build an unbeatable dungeon? If you don't pay to win, that could take months, maybe years. Development is well paced early on, but once you have wait times past 8 hours and you only have 4 imps, you can't really do much. Plus, the constant loading is ridiculous.
During battles, Raids, and even sitting on my dungeon the game crashes every few minutes. It tells me the imps need to get my dungeon in order. I realize that this typically means a disconnect from the internet however it happens everywhere. I've tried playing at home, work, college, and even parks and this happens. I really enjoy the game when it allows me to play but now I'm getting tired of it. I'll try downloading this in a month to try again. Until then I'm afraid this stays at 2 stars.
The original game was great. This version is a blatant money grab, and has taken what should have been a pleasant nostalgic experience and turned it into another example of what is wrong with freemium games. No one will continue to play a game that has something to click once every day or two, so this game is clearly meant to exploit young people and anyone with impulse control issues, and not meant to actually be played in a "free" or even limited cost fashion.
This game is great but my only two problems are the progression and how it doesn't entirely play like the original, like most other games like this the progression eventually gets really slow but this is a new kind of slow, even at low level it takes a long time to save up to get a new building, and my other problem is how it doesn't play like the original, with some of the mechanics taken out like rooms for the monsters or having custom building sizes. Other than those things it's a great game.
I'm a fan of the original PC games, and this is more insulting than anything. They could've remastered the originals, they could've updated the graphics. This app is proof. But of course they had to go for the lazy micro transaction cash grab. Free progress is slow and you've constantly got other players attacking you, setting back what little progress you've made. Ignore this app and just wait for Evil Genius 2.
It's a base building game where you can can play for free if you're willing to wait days for buildings to finish or you can rush the building with gems. It's that simple. I don't mind waiting, I use the time to save up for the next upgrades. The gameplay loop is pretty fun. Just got my 4th imp builder after two or three weeks. That's what you should save your gems for. Help, I can't log into the game now for some reason I tried restarting my phone but for some reason it's not working.
The game is fun but it lacks a LOT of polish. You can accidentally tap on the home button during a raid and it completely ends the raid because of server connection loss. A lot of the buildings only show HALF of the information because the UI is off point, one of the currencies you need is locked behind guild play, not only that but said guild needs to be in the top 20 to make any kind of progress with it.
I played this back in the 90s and was excited to see it was available on my tablet. I was tolerating how slow it was to make progress without throwing money at it until all the sudden I got error patch code 1 and nothing i did would clear the problem. I was at dungeon heart level 8 and put a lot, lot, lot of time to get there. Very disappointed. Don't waste you time
Enjoyed the feel of the old classic, but eventually realized the format was limited by the pay to play options. I reached a point where I could only advance by spending resources I needed to get more of, but I couldn't acquire enough resources without advancing. Of course I could spend actual money, but I uninstalled instead.
Absolutely love this game, you need to reboot it, at least let us transfer our dungeons over. But seriously this game needs to continue living. This is the best ever. I do have a problem with how the game crashes whenever I finish a raid or something, but other than that I find the game to be absolutely f****** awesome.
Fun in the begining, but the build timers start getting ridiculously long after a few days of building. On top of that, your dungeon can be raided by way way higher level guys, basically making it pointless to try to build a challenging dungeon. I wouldn't mind paying a bit to invest, but these blights would need to change first. I'll probably uninstall soon.
Love the original game. Was super excited to see the mobile game version. Cash features and build time could be adjusted. Im having issues clicking on buttons, somehow I have to press a bit left to anything I want to select. Can't wait for developers to fix quirks.
This game is a whaler's paradise. Gems buy everything- resources, time, boosts, you name it. Because of this, there is very little thrill in the competition. Unless you open up that wallet wide, others who have done so will dominate raid events. Optimizing your dungeon is impossible due to the inability to deconstruct rooms, such as your second warehouse. There isn't even a feature to restart. When navigating your dungeon, it is too easy to remove walls. The game is still fun, just flawed.
Only downside is there isn't a original version mode. Changed my rating, got a new phone and it wouldn't connect with google store or Facebook and so am losing all game progress. Not gonna start over, no thanks
It's an Electronic Arts Pay-to-Win. I'm out. While the game is reminiscent of the original dungeon keeper, it is not even remotely as good as the original. I even went online to download the original version and it still plays better than this drek. Steer clear, unless you're super rich and like giving money to EA.
I have played dungeon keeper for so long on the computer. Since 1999 I think? Never this version till now. Its almost the same except the ingame purchase requirements to advance. It's still fun but it doesn't have as much freedom to just build and play. I do like it tho.
Played well for a bit, then boom! The game closed and won't reopen and STAY open. Close to original but ties your hands with imps. Allows 2 and then makes it darn near impossible to get more without making a purchase. What a rip off! So disappointed.
Wish ya'll wouldn't try so hard to sell. Extra nice but I be more likely to do so if I had more time invested into the game. So give out 5× or 6× the amount of 💎 when it's downloaded. It would be a win win 😉 Just saying But still this was my s*** back in the day thanks for bringing it back. Aka Good Game Good Job! I'd love 2 see them extra 💎 if ya'll adopt the feedback. Good luck
Surprisingly better than I expected from EA. The dungeon design aspect is there! Still has lots of stupid faults. "Do you want to reconnect to the server" "Yes." Seriously. Why ask that? The core of good UD design is to not make the user jump through hoops unless the hoops are fun.The user implicitly wants the game to reconnect - don't ask, just do it! Same for the rest of the obvious error messages. Just log it and move on! Also lacking a watch ad for gems. Look into rare resource allocation
Upon seeing the name of the game, I became excited beyond belief. This was short lived when I quickly learned that the game doesn't at all play like the originals, it feels like just another mobile game (microtransactions, boosts, construction queues etc) with the theme of something that used to be popular. Very disappointed, I should have known. If this was more like the original, pay to own and with no ads, no patches in disguise of DLC and no microtransactions, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
