Rather than a boring and completely mundane top-down scrolling map layout. It's a nice twist on the old tabletop D&D thang, but it is all rather flash. Okay, so in theory it's all hunky-dory and wonderful. it's sort of a bit like being the dungeon master in the old tabletop D&D games but with lots of fancy bits thrown in as well.
Bog standard trolls and goblins need to be kept happy by allowing them to feed and sleep (as well as paying them a wage) while magical creatures need to be sustained in other ways. The aim of the game is basically to keep your dungeon running while expanding and earning more money and mana. By collecting the souls of dead heroes you'll soon have enough loopy juice to summon up wizards, vampires, ghouls, ghosts and weird horrible fat, slobby, sweaty things. Mana points determine the ambient magical temperature of your dungeon and this determines what kinds of weird and wonderful creatures you can summon to defend the place.Īlthough things start off with fairly boring and mundane impy, demony monsties, you soon find that you can summon some nasty bastards.
Obviously though, you can only add rooms if you have enough money - and this is where the resource management aspect of the game comes in.Īt the beginning of the game you have a predetermined amount of money and mana to 'spend' in order to make your dungeon as nasty and 'orrible as possible. Although you only start off with a petite and bijou dungeonette you can add new rooms and corridors to the map by employing the services of imps who act as construction workers. The whole thing doesn't just stay like this you see. Okay, that's the physical stuff out of the way, but there's more.
Pretty important this, as it's here that the heroes enter the dungeon and it's also where the creatures that you hire from Monsties 'R' Us will trundle in from. You have a room where all your mana (like the stuff in Magic Carpet) is stored (this is your 'treasure'), a room where magical monsties can be formed, a library where the more intelligent creatures can go and study new spells and stuff, and finally you have a door. The game starts with you looking at a very simple map of the catacombs. So, as well as running your dungeon, you also have to make sure that all the heroes get killed off in the most horrible way possible so that you can hang onto your goodies.

As you'd expect in mythical fantasy land, or wherever it is that all this takes place, the existence of a dungeon attracts all manner of heroes to have a crack at nicking the treasure that's inevitably hidden at the centre. Now the basic idea of the game is that you have to run this dungeon as a practical and on-going business. And you happen to be the dungeon keeper, the boss-man, the head honcho, the top-dog, the man with a plan, the. This is great for you as games players but for me, to write a preview about it, means I can't really compare it to anything else. Unlike many titles that we look at these days, this is one of the few occasions where we can honestly say that this game is totally unlike any other.

When we originally had the thing demo'd to us a couple of months ago there was a seriously sad situation where three of us sat in front of a pc watching Peter Molyneux playing the game -and we all looked as though we were about to start dribbling. To say that Dungeon Keeper looks a bit smart would be something of an understatement.
In the past we've obviously gone bananas over the likes of Theme Park and Magic Carpet, and only last month, dearest Macca spooged all over Magic Carpet 2: Obviously iD has an uncanny ability to do clever things from time to time, but Bullfrog has developed this ludicrous knack of making any new project a damn sight more impressive than anything they've done before. There are only a few developers that have the ability to make the entire staff of PC go all gooey whenever they demo a new product.
