Dungeon Keeper 1 for Windows 7

    From a time long, long ago when Pete always delivered - Dungeon Keeper. If you own it you can use this complete re-write of the game to play it happily on Windows 7 and 64bit operating systems with 20 cores of giggityflops or whatever with no issues. It even has a god damn launcher where you can customise the options.


    What you need:

    • An original version of the game, either the old original CD (that I still own because I'm way better than you guys and a total hipster faggot of gaming) or you can buy it on GoG.com for £3 (http://www.gog.com/game/dungeon_keeper) which I have bought anyway because I'm a massive fanboy and wanted to support it on that website.

    Download:


    What you should know:

    • alt+r will cycle the resolutions in game that you have chosen within the launcher - one downside to going super high res is the menu will get smaller.


    • If you have the CD you will get the awesome ingame music but I don't know what will happen with the GoG version as I used my old CD files to verify the install of the mod. What it does is you tell it where your original Dungeon Keeper files are installed to it and basically rapes them and then turns into this super mecha keeper.


    • Dungeon Keeper 1 is way better than Dungeon Keeper 2.

    Never played this. Watched a gameplay video and it looked intriguing, been wanting to play a RTS game... so I've downloaded 1 & 2 from gog.com, gonna play some tonight

    Ok, played the first 3 or 4 levels of the sp campaign, its a lot of fun! I don't feel like I'm in any kind of control during the battles, pretty much just dump all my guys there and let them hack it up... Try to heal randomly.. which is fine, building/training the army is my favorite part of an RTS, less so the battle itself (if I've done my job properly, it shouldn't be a battle - should be a massacre!)

    One question... A few times when looking at the map, if I click on it, my view changes from isometric to straight-on.. .and I can't figure out how to get it back to isometric!! Any help? Is there a list of controls somewhere I can't find?

    It's very disorienting for your entire view of the world to be rotated 45 degrees mid-game...

    DK is one of my top five! Twiz, it might be one of the keys near pgup pgdn or the numpad if I remember correctly... Nope, that's wrong!

    Are you using the mod twiz or just playing with the regular version of the game? pgup and pgdown have always rotated my views with home and end zooming in and out.


    And what Vilham said. Just make sure you have levelled up monsters and are dropping the right ones into combat i.e: ranged at a distance and melee up close blah blah. And make sure to overwhelm. Unless you have a level 10 against like level 2's or something then you can just sit back laugh and enjoy the massacre.


    And if you get further into the game some of the best monsters to have are Dragons and Vampires. A vampire can't die after level 3 and are totally insane at level 10. Dragons are awesome in a fight as they're tough as old boots and great at researching and also total ballers at 10. If you posses a dragon and go into a fight you do more damage than the Dragon itself as you can attack faster. Imps are no fighters but at level 3+ get their own speed boost abilitity and at level 10 can teleport pretty much anywhere.


    Also make sure to explore the levels, there are lots of bonuses like experience and being able to transfer a creature to the next real (but only transfer when you have conquered the realm because if you do it before it will remove your monster).

    Quote from Vilham

    priests can kill vampires, its why i normally torture some priests to join me when its a mission that has bad monsters and heroes.


    I've never had a vampire die to, or have trouble with a priest in dk1. Although I never attack with a vampire below level 5.

    Awesome, thanks for the tips! I'll try page up/down and control + arrow keys.

    Yes, I've installed the mod. Searching around to figure out the bits I still don't quite get, so I don't bother you guys with persistent questions about a 15 year old game

    Decided to read the manual.. that helps I'm so used to having every feature taught to me via tutorials, I forgot about reading the manual! That's kinda sad.

    I was thinking of getting Dungeon Keeper 1 after the free2play complete utter ultimate disaster in human history Dungeon Keeper edition, but glad I waited (cheapskate detected). Think I'll grab DK2 as well on GOG as it's $1.49 right now.
