I vaguely remember this being mentioned in another thread, but I can't find that anymore..
Recently stumbled upon the website of (
http://www.dungeons-game.com) Dungeons. And it becomes immediately clear we're dealing with a shameless Dungeon Keeper clone. Concept, setting, color palette, units (imps, warlocks and big horned fellas) even the cutscenes seem to taken directly from Bullfrog's masterpiece (or its sequel)..
Not sure what to think of this, on the one hand it's been over a decade since the last Dungeon Keeper was released, so it's about time we got a new one that isn't hampered by yesteryear's hardware limitations. On the other hand, the sheer lack of originality in just about everything of this title is worrying.
Dungeon Keeper's spirit lay very much in its attention for detail, some of it coded into the AI and rarely experienced. I wonder if that will translate well.
