@L3monsta Ай бұрын

I've been replaying the game recently and one thing I think is hugely underrated is how in first person you see things in the creatures eyes. Hounds see in black and white. Beetles see in a warped fish eye lense, flies see with a sort of hexagonal kaleidoscope type of vision. It's such a flavourful touch that they didn't need to add but they put extra effort into.

Partially, the mess of huge scale assaults in dk1 was its charm. A true demonstration that you are not a tactician genius, but a leader of a devilish horde, and you might control them individually, or in small groups... but it all turns to a uncontrolled violent mess of blood, screams, farts, and warcries 😂

I prefer DK2 but that's because I started with it in 1999. I still enjoy both games though. Maybe if I started with 1 I'd feel differently. But 2 is my starting point in the series and I have the most nostalgia with it. I have no feelings of disappointment for either game personally.

I loved the first game. The sequel just didn't feel like Dungeon Keeper. The tone and style really sold the dungeon feel. The sequel felt more like a cartoon than anything. Really emphasized by the fact that the Horned Reaper now looked like a fusion of Peter Griffin and Joe Swanson that was sent to cartoon Hell.

"License to Print Money". Well, only thanks to morons, that play games for the plot. Franchised Games tend to be very bad (Tv Tropes even has it as "Trope"). They should have really gone for good Gameplay instead of Harry Potter or the like. IMO, they could even have used the DK1 engine, maybe with slighter better graphics (double sprite resolution, and Truecolor). Good sprites (like Diablo 2) can look much better than crude realtime 3D. You can also get away with mire nudity in 2D. Compare the "private parts" of Troll and Orc with The Sims. Also the original Mistress seems to be a naked demon, while the DK2 one is a human in a gimp suit.

Dungeon keeper 2 absolutely ruined the series imo. Because every map had a niche you had to perform you were forced to use specific creatures every map. They was very little room for personal play style.
