Gaminglives.com previews Dungeons from Kalypso Media, fresh from their recent strategy management title, Patrician IV, have teamed up with developer Realmforge Studios to spice up the early 2011 line-up with a very familiar sounding game. Dungeons is a strategy management title with a twist. Before you gets your hopes up, no, you aren’t playing as a whip-wielding dominatrix with a penchant for ribbon tailed floggers but, rather, as a despicable Dungeon Lord who presides over and manages an underground dominion.
Humble Bundle has a new bundle that packs Dungeons, Dungeons 2, Dungeons 3, and a bunch of DLC. As always, a percentage of profits from the bundle go to charity.
Dungeons & Dragon’s most famous sibling comes back to Kickstarter in February
I am just playing through the first game in the series, and really enjoying it. They've done great job with the game, and consequent patching it (I understand there were balancing issues at launch).
But I don't understand why they're taking the sequel on Kickstarter. The first game should have been proving grounds for them, to be able to take on sequel with sales from the first game. I don't know the figures behind it, or the business model they're going with, and how much of it is driven by the necessity, financial greed, or gauging the interest for sequel (often used to then seek further funding from private investors, when goals at met, demonstrating demand, as it was done with Kingdom Come Develierance).
I'm not sure of the financial aspects of it but the first release was pretty awesome.
Oh definitely! I really enjoy base / kingdom management aspect in rpg games and it was a great to see that implemented. Made the game stand out from other crpgs!
A new spin on a old Dungeon Crawler or will this retro game be a miss in the 8 bit world? Come check it out over at Thumb Culture
If this manages to be a spiritual successor to Dungeon Keeper, this might be just another great game for 2011 !
It still baffles me why DK III was never made. Particularly because EA now owns all Bullfrog IP and has for some time. Everyone I know loved DK, and Overlord has done well in sales filling in this space for the last few years.
@ yog-sothot: I agree entirely. EA has dropped the ball on this one so I will watch Dungeons closely.
