War for the Overworld

Shut up and take my money!

[FrieChamp]

Ah I was waiting for somebody to make a new game in the vein of Dungeon Keeper. May the demons of the underworld be with them!

[Skacky]

I backed 35£ in that game. The fact that it's being made by hardcore fans of DK1 is great, they even have Richard Ridings on board.

I am looking forward to it, and I've backed it. But it worries me that it currently looks worse to me than DKII at the moment, DKII had such a cool cohesive art style that in my eyes has really stood the test of time. All that super-contrasty dynamic light and a rather scatter-shot colour scheme. Not to mention I am not a big fan of those bright glowing red gems on every player owned tile. But if they get the tone and game play down, I might be able to look past those issues just to get another fix of the genre. I'm currently playing DKII through again for the nth time, I never tire of it.

Well there's also Impire which is coming out next week. So far I'm not impressed by that game and given the developers trackrecord I don't have high expectations. But taste differs so maybe it's of interest to others. More info here:

I'm with you JB. I'm just glad we finally get something new. I just wonder how much they can look the same without getting into legal problems?

Impire looks pretty shit tbh, not much in common with dungeon keeper at all.

i'm pretty excited about this, but it does look bad.

this game looks interesting, but i hope it doesn't disappoint like Dungeons did :/

[Kedhrin]

Anyone try Impire yet? i'm really interested in trying it... but i don't want to be disappointed like i was in Dungeons.

doesnt look bad

Strangely enough, there are almost no reviews of Impire. I'm waiting for the new Gameplay magazine to see what they have to say about it.

[Sprony]

Apparently, you are very limited in how you build your dungeon. That's a deal breaker for me.

[Vilham]

Like I said, shit. The initial video TB did months ago pretty much gave you the same insight.

Yeah, you called it!

I bought Impire based on the first 40 minutes of gameplay.

It's really enjoyable, well worth 20 buckaroos!
