| I'm about 4 hours in and it's a mess. Way to much micro management for my taste. You spend an ungodly amount of time just feeding your minions only to have them fight a few times then send them back to eat some more. Should have been called Foodpire. |

I'd like to point out that the Eurogamer preview had the Devs mentioned this is nothing like DK. They said they pay homage to it, but the execution is totally different.
I for one like it. It reminds me of a cross between Evil Genius and the squad making abilities of Company of Heroes. |

I haven't got very far into it, but I can say if you were hoping this is the spiritual successor to Dungeon Keeper you would be very disappointed. The only real similarity is that both games are set in a dungeon, and opponents occasionally come in to try and wreck things.
You have more control over your units, and can do a lot of nice customization to your squads. The number of squads is limited (max of 5 squads, 4 units each), although you can have units that are not in squads. Units will not assist one another unless they are in the same squad, such as your healer will only heal it's squad mates.
The dungeon building aspect is very cookie cutter - rooms are based on blueprints so you can not shape an individual room. The layout and traps are pointless since invaders can dig in anywhere to enter, and every wave comes in at a different location.
The forums are alight with bug reports, and there is no manual. It's hard to know what some stuff even is supposed to do.
Combat is done well. You need a good combination within a squad to really do well, and some of the boss fights are impossible without thinking through your tactics (just trowing numbers at a boss will not work).
All in all it's a decent game for the price. It's not a Dungeon Management sim, it's a squad combat sim with some Dungeon management. |

I have the feeling that because they again didn't clone Dungeon Keeper even remotely it's going to end up a boring, repetitive game again. I will never get why people (developers) think that they can make a better Dungeon Keeper that is not like Dungeon Keeper.. so far they all sucked...
Mhh, gonna wait for youtube let's plays I guess. |

| Steam posts seem to be mostly positive. Apparently there are some difficulties selecting groups, or controlling groups or some such. I was holding out on the pre-order for this. The description sounds some much like Dungeon Keeper that it sounded like a clone. Forums posts by the developers indicated there were some DK elements, but it also had elements of Dawn of War. Both high quality titles but I don't know how good the match up would be. |
