The Ultimate Evil is back in new form in Dungeons 4. Dungeons 4 is bigger, better, and more beautiful than ever before and is available from November 9th on Xbox, PC, PlayStation and Game Pass Day one. Here are my thoughts.
CCG writes - "Overall, I enjoyed Dungeons 4 as much as I enjoyed Dungeons III. It is humorous with an entertaining story and a pithy narrator. Par for the course, I love all the references to other fantasy literature. I also feel that the subtext of the prototypically “good” self-righteous Paladin becoming even more evil than the “Ultimate Evil” to be a reinforcement of the truly tongue-in-cheek nature of this comedic story-driven RTS game."
If I had one complaint it would be that a bit of freedom on the camera would have been nice, but mostly there is little to complain about in terms of how Dungeons 4 plays.
WTMG's Thomas Medina: "Dungeons 4 was the gaming palette cleanser I didn’t know I was looking for. Its story is nonsense told very well, but its gameplay loop is practiced, iterated, and masterful. Mission and map design is unique with varied and distinct units. It could be easy for the game to be too much or complex is instead the first RTS I’ve ever played with a controller that actually felt comfortable. I switched between my PC and Steam Deck freely, never feeling like I was missing something on the Deck that would affect my gameplay performance. That alone blew my socks off and made it a permanent install for my Steam Deck. It’s a fun game, supported by expert design and a smooth always entertaining gameplay loop. What more could I ask for?
