Shallow gameplay. Too easy to lose straight away. Minion AI is awful.1 found this helpful
honestly a really bad game, you can lose instantly because the game spawns the adventurers in the orbs room. you basic units can only dig and eat, and the actual attacker costs 10 gold, so by the time you've gotten the money for it, there's already an adventurer attacking the orb. there is zero down time, none, so you have to act on pure chaos with no second to plan or think. AND THATS THE EASIEST DIFFICULTY. save your money and buy a different dungeon management game.
very fun tribute to DK
A cute Dungeon Keeper-esque game.
Fun game beat it however after a while it has a massive lag spike making it almost impossible to play.
Interesting game. A more streamlined simplified Dungeon Keeper. You did to find gold and unlock new buildings through finding scrolls why humans attack and you need to find tablets to win the game. I had fun, my only issue was with micro managing diggers, they need to periodically eat food, but they would very often just not go get food or even stop working because they were far away, so you need to drag and drop them, but it can be awkward to have to hold left click while pressing right click to move around, sometimes you would miss click and it would fail I you would need to go back to click on the digger. That's my main issue with the game, controls and micro managing. Still had fun and it's a simple game where you can go for "a little run" when you a couple minutes to fill.
