ZFR: Cool. How is Dunegones 1? Worth a try before playing the sequel? Story continuation?
Can't really comment as I haven't played or even own it. It has mixed reviews on Steam (more negative than positive) and one thing negative and positive reviewers seem to agree is that it's not Dungeon Keeper clone. It's more of a Sim Dungeon/ Dungeon Tycoon/Dungeon Park kind of thing and description seems to point towards this:
Heroes will visit your dungeon in search of battle and treasure.
Naturally, you could always just annihilate them with a snap of your fingers. But isn't it more entertaining and deliciously evil to watch them attain their heart's desire - and then take take it ALL away?
So throw them a few treasures and some equipment, give them a couple of fights for entertainment and cherish and look after them. And once they are finally happy enough - it's time for the "harvest". For happy heroes have more valuable soul energy for you to gleefully extract from them in your prison or torture chamber!
If you're still interested, you probably should watch few let's play episodes on YouTube to get the feel of the game and see if you like it. That's how I usually judge whether or not a game is worth it for me.
I do have to point out that while I said Dungeons 2 is Dungeon Keeper clone, it's not entirely like it. You send parties to surface and to other dungeons as well (usually after you've build up and secured your own dungeon). Outside your own dungeon, game turns into an RTS as you have direct control over your minions. In your own dungeon you either pick up and drop minions where needed or use magic to gather them in one spot.
