    The Absolute Evil and its trusted *cough* servant, the Dark Elf Thalya, return in Dungeons 4 after the events of its fabulous predecessor to bring about their triumph over the forces of good once more.

    Build a cozy and comfortable Dungeon to suit your creatures' needs and rule over them, then send them out into the Overworld to kindly remind the good people living there that the Absolute Evil rules over their lands.

    Gather your Evilness in new and dynamic ways and unleash it upon the lush green forests and plains of the Overworld to turn them over to the dark side. But make sure that your Dungeon is well-secured by traps and defended by your creatures, for those pesky Overworlders won't just twiddle their thumbs while you turn their land into the Absolute Evil's most pleasurable holiday paradise.

    Dungeons 4 marks the triumphant return of the series, offering a spectacular Dungeon manager/RTS that will keep players invested for hours. It never felt so good to be bad.

    A fine continuation of a successful series, but you can see that the authors are sticking to this theme longer and slowly running out of ideas. The fun is kept up by a good campaign with elements of humour and you might even try out the co-op. This time it's still enough. But the developers might not consider a fifth installment, even though it's their most successful brand, because the fatigue of the material would probably show significantly.

    While it’s still somewhat struggling with the legacy of Bullfrog’s Dungeon Keeper, Dungeons 4 from German developer Realmforge Studios continues to carve out its own identity. A very solid and refined gameplay loop is somewhat held back by quickly dated humor and some visual clutter. If you liked the earlier Dungeons games, expect more of the same with smaller additions and improvements, but those itching to be evil don’t have a better alternative anyway.

    Dungeons 4 doesn’t raise the bar for the dungeon-building subgenre, but it’s a delightful fantasy romp that harkens back to less complicated times, and that’s quite valuable on its own.

    Dungeons 4 sticks to its guns: slapstick humour, dungeon master vibes and simple gameplay. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Solid strategy excursion with successful humor and development part, but suffers from confusion and a lack of balancing.

    Dungeons 4 has two sides. The dungeon part of the game is good, but far from ideal, and the overworld gameplay is primitive.
