#DUNGEON KEEPER 2 REMAKE UPGRADE#

Diablo-esque mini-dungeons are set for inclusion, in which you'll find rival evils like The Skeleton Lord, who you can kill for masses of gold. While the maps won't be procedurally generated, they will be far from linear, with a wealth of secrets hidden around them.

#DUNGEON KEEPER 2 REMAKE UPGRADE#

Called Evilness, it's what you'll be needing to upgrade your dungeon, strengthening its walls and floors and unlocking new actions for minions and yourself alike.Р”Р‡rom then on, the onus is very much on juggling return trips to the Underworld in order to recruit and advance your troops with pushing forward into the Heroes' lands, capturing outpost after outpost until finally destroying them. Actions like this unlock a new resource unobtainable beneath ground. Taking them and their outpost out marks your first step into claiming the Overworld, as trees wither, butterflies fall from the sky and giant clefts burst open in the ground, with lava spewing forth to cover everything.

Upon arriving above ground, you'll have a second to notice the huge change in scenery - from fiery depths to a gorgeous landscape, bristling with colour, foliage, rainbows and scampering bunnies - before you're attacked by the portal's guards. Once you've mustered enough force and sufficiently tired of the Heroes' constant attempts to harass your subterranean playground, you can gather your troops and proceed through the hell gate found towards the level's end to the Overworld, where you'll take the fight straight to them. You'll even regularly stumble into giant chasms where neutral mobs, like a Spider Queen lurk, which will continue to serve as an irritation until she's dealt with, sending her minions to frustrate your plans as long as she's left alive.Р”В«ut this is where Dungeons 2 first makes clear the extent of its ambition to go above and beyond that which came before. This faithful and comprehensive love letter to the franchise continues with regular Hero invasions, which you and your minions will have to fend off through combat, traps, spells and whatever else you can use. There are other rooms too, like the Sick Bay, where units get dragged by their ankles and resurrected after falling in battle, or the arena for training them which also enables you to upgrade them with specialisations. Certain minions are needed in order to get certain buildings functional - only Goblins have the necessary nous to produce traps and doors in the Tinker's cave, for example, while the Crystal Chamber requires the Naga's arcane understanding if you want to accrue mana in order to cast spells. Goblins, Orcs, Trolls and Naga all make an appearance and can be picked up or slapped by your giant disembodied hand at your leisure. The similarities continue when it comes to recruiting your minions. You do so by highlighting sections of the dungeon you want your 'snots' to excavate or build on, all the while keeping an eye out for gold veins running through the walls. The base game is what you'd expect: you're a dungeon lord, tasked with excavating and transforming a dungeon, all the while amassing fortunes and followers. In response to this criticism, Realmforge Studios has gone above and beyond to recreate all the familiar gameplay of old, while adding a fair few levels on top of it.

Part of the backlash against the original Dungeons centered on the fact it didn't live up to its name and simulate many of Dungeon Keeper's features.
