Dungeons is a fun but deceptively shallow Sim-RPG-thing that would have benefitted from pushing the envelope for either genre a little more. The creativity of its premise is never fully fleshed out but offers moments of genuinely unique fun. Although the missing multiplayer is a sore loss, the single player campaign still offers a pretty satisfying experience. If you like management-style games, Dungeons is well worth a look.

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!
