Dungeon Keeper is Free...again


About 5 years ago when I started this blog I wrote an article about how adventure themed games were all the same.  You're always the good guy whacking away at waves of bad guys ad nauseum.  You never got to actually BE the one stirring up all the mahem.

What I'd forgotten about is a game that actually let you do just that and now it's available for free on Origin.

It's Dungeon Keeper.  A game that allows you to knock around all those goody 2 shoes hero types not to mention your own army of minions.

It's an RTS/God game meaning there's resources to mine, things to build and populations to manage.  The game launched in 1997 and spawned 2 sequels as well as community mods that elevated the franchise to a cult classic.

It was developed by Bullfrog who also did the popular Syndicate games.  As such the game continued the trend of game features and experience that were ahead of their time.

Now it's your turn.  If you fancy a bit of Classic PC gaming nostalgia and want to embrace your darker side the price has never been better.

Pick it up on Origin while you still can.

AND! look for an upcoming gameplay video on my companion YouTube channel.
