This game reminds me of that time me and my fellow rabbi's in Chabad-Lubavitch World Headquarters in Crown Heights, Brooklyn decided it would be funny to make 60 foot long underground tunnels around the surrounding area!

Its Good, Real Good.
12 hours of gameplay. 0 losses. 13 missions. I’m disappointed. There really wasn’t anything interesting here. It’s not worth the full price. And am I any happier after those 12 hours? No. I feel like those hours were a waste.
This is a review for the base game. I haven't played all the DLC, just the main campaign and a couple of the "My Pet Dungeon" scenarios. It's fine, especially if you just want to play another DK-like game. Get it on sale if you can. Don't drop thirty dollars on it. The campaign scenarios jumped around a lot in terms of quality and effort needed. The real "hardest" level was the next-to-last one, not the final one, and not for very good reasons. You're fighting three enemy AIs (which really come at you in scripted events unless you provoke one of them early) and they aren't really playing the game the way the player does. They'll throw their whole army and workforce away, but replace it almost instantly. Of course the campaign AI also isn't very bright, so you're probably more likely to "lose" this level 40-45 minutes in due to the game freezing and crashing during a giant fight than actually losing to the AI. This didn't happen on any of the other levels for me, but this one seemed prone to it. I'm not sure if it was a high unit count, spamming lightning bolt too quickly, or something else that triggered it. Some of the "achievements" are pretty lame, and you don't see most of th…
it is a fun game! love the battles and building
