I loved the original Dungeon Keeper and Dungeon Keeper 2 back when Bullfrog made them. I spent untold amounts of time playing the games!
EA has now ported Dungeon Keeper to mobile devices, and not in a good way.
Just to play 1 level normally, you need to pay anywhere from $2.50 USD to $12.00 USD in micro transactions.
Why the #### did EA decide to ruin such a classic game ?

Millions of fans of the original games would be more than willing to pay $40 USD or more for a copy of the original 2 games ( if they were updated for modern operating systems ) .

*facepalm*

*long, tired sigh*

Gundammit, EA.

Well, this looks awful.

Also, this thread might fit better in Other Games.

[Caz]

Looks awful. I'm still holding out hope for War for the Overworld.

Also, this thread might fit better in Other Games.

It did! Though I guess that was more about the lead up/pre-release stuff (to the extent it was about anything beyond the first few posts, which is about how much attention the mobile port deserves, really) than actually complaining about the game released.

Yeah, I remember being irked when that thread came up. Might be a better fit for the rage thread, unless someone is planning to track all of the stupidity that this is going to generate.

[Levi]

Microtransactions turn everything to garbage.

[SomeStupidGuy]

Wow. I came into this thread expecting over-reactionary silliness, but... well. Ruined is the exact wording I'd use for this. I mean, god.
Reminds me a little of the crap Microsoft tried to pull with Halo: Spartan Assault or whatever it was. But this is way worse.

[Eagleon]

The "mobile market" in a nutshell. In all fairness, there's practically no other way to get money out of Android. Someone could probably hack away the transaction nonsense and get it to run on PC if it's actually a good port with improvements behind all that, but that would probably be "illegal"

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Look at it as an opportunity for someone to create a game that hits all the same buttons as Dungeon Keeper but adds more awesome content, good modding opportunities, and costs a single reasonable payment. If EA can't compete they lose.

It's just hilarious.
24 hours to dig out one effing block or pay thick wads of $$$ to actually play the game.
When they first introduced it i thought "Oh well it's cartoony so what" but i just couldn't imagine how much they could fuck up.

Imagine the world being set on fire.

Then imagine this.

Which is worse?

All the world at once? That would choke itself out quickly.

[MorleyDev]

Plus if the whole world vanished in a puff of smoke, there'd be no sadness because nobody would be left behind to grieve.

So really, burning down the world is the more humane option at this point.

1. Why does the devil have a smooth voice? The narrator and devil aren't the same person... The devil is meant to sound like pouring molten iron over gravel.
2. Why are the graphics so shit, and how does that even work in first person? The possession spell is still there, right?
3. Why does it have an average score of 4.6 out of five?

So it looks pretty dire but... Still better than Final Fantasy: All The Bravest.
