If you wanted to make a Dungeon Keeper game you could most likely look up the math they used and slap it into Unity. Although, arguably it added to the value of the original product so why would they want to?īut back to Brutal Doom, I don't see why they would bother putting in so much effort into a decades old game and give it away, when they could have more easily made their own FPS from scratch AND made money off of it.

Since none of their code or assets were used there wasn't any reason they could stop it from being published. Legally there's nothing that they COULD do.īlizzard went through this with the original Diablo when a third party developer made an unofficial expansion called 'Hellfire'. They are not distributing doom, or any Id property. My point is why not make money off of your efforts?Īs far as Brutal Doom goes they're using their own code and assets that plugs into another program. Hate the guy or love him (but mostly hate him) Peter Molyneux did make some crazy fun games back in the day. Or go in their view to make them work extremely fast. Meanwhile you could always help out by moving gold to treasury areas. If you wanted to have someone do something you just dropped them on in. You didn't need to tell wizards to go research they just did it.

If there wasn't anything to do they would reinforce the walls and claim tiles.Īnd every unit had a job and just did it. You just clicked what you wanted and the imps got on it. While most RTS games had you select a worker, then tell them to build something, then tell surrounding workers to help. You can beat minions with your cursor to make them work harder at the cost of some health?!īut what was REALLY what sold it was the fact that the dungeon, for the most part, took care of its self and let you just make the big choices. Of course the dominatrix wants to be tortured in the torture chamber. Of course my giant spiders are going to eat my giant flies.

Well, the obvious is that the game was packed full of little fun discoveries. Dungeon Keeper 2 is a painful reminder of how unnecessary additional content was. The resolution is horrid, the controls are not that great, the game is loaded with several bugs and crashes randomly, it's WAY too short (but mainly because it runs out of things to do with the tool box given to you).īUT, I do have to admit it was fun and most like was as long as it needed to be. “We consequently considered it likely that many players would regard the gameplay experience as unexpectedly curtailed and as a result would need to spend gems in order to achieve the form of gameplay anticipated.Hey guys, so I grabbed Dungeon Keeper off of GoG for a couple bucks and I found the whole experience kind of interesting.įor one, my nostalgia glasses were immediately smudged when I realized that the game has aged horridly. “From the information available in the ad, players would expect the gameplay progression and their ability to advance to be unhindered by unexpected and excessively onerous delays, and we therefore considered that the length and frequency of these countdown events was beyond that which would be reasonably expected by players,” the ASA declared. “We therefore regarded it as extremely likely that p layers would reach a position where they would be unable to take any further meaningful or progressive action in the game until a timer had finished or been skipped, and that these periods would become longer and more significant, and the cost of skipping increasingly higher, as the player progressed.” “We noted that, although some of these actions could be done simultaneously, there was a limit to how many actions could happen at the same time and that the length of the countdown timers increased according to how far the player had progressed in aspects of the game. “We understood that several mechanisms within the game took a significant amount of time to be completed, and that these would only be speeded up by using the premium gem currency,” the ASA said. Upon investigating, the ASA found the ad breached its code, since banning it from the UK… and this is why:
