    Had this for a while now. Never been able to stop a C+++ error from crashing it. have only 4.2 hours in the game as I cant progress or do much because it crashes. Support was slow and the advice when it came did not address the issue. Ultimately, was told to drop it below 2560x1440.

    Gameplay so far was ok but very linear which puts me off making anymore effort to resolve it.    … Expand

    Bir kez daha strateji oyunlarını neden sevmediğimi hatırlattığı için bu oyunu geliştirenlere teşekkür ediyorum. Oynarken o kadar sıkıldım ki ders çalışmak kitap okumak bana zevkli şeylermiş gibi gelmeye başladı. Oyunun hikayesi ve hikayenin anlatılısı da bir o kadar rahatsız ediciydi. Hiç tavsiye etmiyorum bu oyunu.

    Great concept and some nice features, but badly designed. There's a lot of tutorial missions, but they're completely unclear on how to use the features and accomplish the goals. The interface is difficult to use. It's almost impossible to easily select single units. You're constantly jumping back and forth between 3 or more different locations that have to be managed simultaneously. UnitsGreat concept and some nice features, but badly designed.

It's almost impossible to easily select single units. You're constantly jumping back and forth between 3 or more different locations that have to be managed simultaneously. Units die and cannot be replaced, so you can be at your population limit with all dead units. All of this, and the game puts caps on gold, time, units and what upgrades you can do. You have to play each level THEIR WAY or you will die. Just BAD DESIGN. Don't waste your money.… Expand

    Bugs, Bugs, and more Bugs.
    If you are a gamer that likes to play a game without interruption, this is not the game.

    Cons: only expect 10 hours of game play before you have to commit $ to buying DLC.
    Crashes all the time, and my gaming rig is not to blame (MSI xpower big bang main board, i7 processor at 3.2GHz, 12GB memory, MSI GTX465 Twin Frozr ii x 2 in SLI)
    confirmation that they don't care about PC Gamers as they are releasing this title on XBONE/PS4 without first addressing the bugs for their initial investors (us PC Gamers).

    not recommended IMO, go buy Dungeon Keeper 2 (older I know) but it will entertain you for more than this game, and will not crash on you.    … Expand

    C’est la suite du premier (et calamiteux) Dungeons qui s’inspirait déjà des antiques Dungeon Keeper… Ici cependant, les graphismes ont pris un étrange virage (peu ragoûtant) de dessin animé qui fait ressembler le jeu plus ou moins à un indé en 256 couleurs…

    Mais c’est surtout l’interface qui irrite le plus : peu claire et mal présentée, rapidement bordélique au fur et à mesure que les salles et unités peuplent le donjon qu’on aménage tant bien que mal. La méthode de contrôle à la « ZQSD » nécessite à chaque fois d’activer le clavier azerty, car par défaut le jeu démarre en qwerty : on se demande pourquoi, vu que c’est développé par un studio allemand ?!… (à moins que les claviers allemands soient en qwerty ?).

    L’autre méthode de contrôle en mode STR ne permet pas de dézoomer suffisamment, ce qui nuit considérablement à la vue d’ensemble et partant à toute tentative de gestion efficace. Globalement, il faut résoudre les situations comme le jeu l’a prévu, sinon ça ne marche pas et vous échouez systématiquement. Déjà qu’on se débat régulièrement avec l’interface ratée, c’est donc pas gagné ! En outre, l’humour volontiers idiot, pour ne pas dire mongolito, s’avère usant et très énervant à la longue et la voix narquoise du narrateur nous les casse franchement.

    Enfin, un mot sur la version DVD du jeu qui nécessite une connexion pour bénéficier des mises-à-jour (et de créer un compte chez Kalypso) : le lanceur télécharge la màj, puis réinstalle le jeu sans qu’on puisse intervenir dans son répértoire par défaut, ignorant totalement notre répertoire d’installation initial… (qui se trouvait sur un autre disque dur !). Impossible de le remettre à sa place, sinon le jeu marche pas et retélécharge le patch et se réinstalle toujours dans son répertoire par défaut : oui, c’est vraiment des baltringues, chez Kalypso !    … Expand

    Dungeons 2 is neither a great RTS nor a great Dungeon Keeper game. It’s just “pretty good” at both.

    An attempt to resurrect the old classic succeeds in capturing its atmosphere. The game is ruined unfortunately by its poor strategic part and (sometimes) an embarrassing humor. [Issue#253]

    Finally, a successor to Dungeon Keeper 2 that is actually fun to play.
