You've always played the good guy in most of the games that you've played especially if you play a role-playing game like Diablo where you play the role of the hero (or heroine). I've always wondered how it feels like to be the dungeon lord where you try to prevent heroes from stealing your prized possessions. Thankfully, Kalypso Media published Dungeons, a strategy/simulation video developed by RealmForge Studios where you take on the role of a Dungeon Lord who spends his time luring heroes into his dungeon with the promise of finding treasures, knowledge and a good fight. Little did these heroes know that they'll never get out...alive.
Humble Bundle has a new bundle that packs Dungeons, Dungeons 2, Dungeons 3, and a bunch of DLC. As always, a percentage of profits from the bundle go to charity.
Dungeons & Dragon’s most famous sibling comes back to Kickstarter in February
I am just playing through the first game in the series, and really enjoying it. They've done great job with the game, and consequent patching it (I understand there were balancing issues at launch).
But I don't understand why they're taking the sequel on Kickstarter. The first game should have been proving grounds for them, to be able to take on sequel with sales from the first game. I don't know the figures behind it, or the business model they're going with, and how much of it is driven by the necessity, financial greed, or gauging the interest for sequel (often used to then seek further funding from private investors, when goals at met, demonstrating demand, as it was done with Kingdom Come Develierance).
I'm not sure of the financial aspects of it but the first release was pretty awesome.
Oh definitely! I really enjoy base / kingdom management aspect in rpg games and it was a great to see that implemented. Made the game stand out from other crpgs!
