Title
One of my favourite games of all time, a really unique blending of genres (RTS, Management Sim and God Game) with a fantastic atmosphere and attitude of "Its good to be bad" that has been oft copied and yet never bettered.

Are there flaws? Yes, of course, the base game balancing is _all_ over the place, and the blending of RTS and Management complements the game well but means their individual mechanics are rather rudimentary. However, honestly? I couldn't care less when I'm having a blast digging out a dungeon, training my creatures and eventually getting the Lord of the Land's head on a spike. Game is an absolute blast to play, and easiest its ever been with the fan patch/expansion KeeperFX keeping this game alive all these years later.

    Masterpiece. Bullfrog was so special with games like DK, Populous, Theme Hospital, Theme Park World… what a shame.

    This (and Dungeon Keeper 2) is now out on Steam (as well as GOG) so there's no excuse not to play this masterpiece
