Players say Dungeons 2 is a fun spiritual successor to Dungeon Keeper with a mix of dungeon building and RTS. [1][2][3] The narrator's humor is a highlight for many, though some find it annoying or overdone. [4][5][6] Some reviewers criticize the game for being too easy, with clunky controls and repetitive gameplay. [7][8][6]

So, I love the ideas of the game, like the good work on model and texture designs, and hate every single thing besides. Controls are very wonky, plays too easy (on the campaign, did not stick out long enough to try the skirmishes), sound design is jarring and repetitive. A single one of these is not a big deal, but all together, make it very hard to enjoy. However, the worst thing is the dialog, which should not …

Is this game for super pros? No. Is this game for silly brain candy? Most certainly. I didn't get this game for free, but it did come in a bundle, I believe. It's similar enough to Dungeon Keeper with a few exceptions. Some other reviewers thought the narrator was annoying, but I think that's the point! The entire game is themed around the player being the Ultimate Evil, and if you take too long or make a misstep, …

A pretty fun game if you are looking for something to replace Dungeon Keeper, and try and fill in that old nostalgia hole. Even ten years later it holds up graphically, it sounds good, and it plays decently well. I also didn't encounter any bugs. Unfortunately I made my way through the game pretty quickly. There is a lot of incentive in the later levels to quickly get military forces up and running, rather than …

One of spiritual successors of Dungeon Keeper series, which was killed by EA. For those unfamiliar with the theme - it inverts usual hero troupe and have you play as evil overlord that makes dungeons for forces of good to venture in. You're the guiding hand of mostly indirect control over your subjects, assigning them tasks that need to be done like excavating, mining, researching, crafting etc. and watching them …

Players who liked Dungeons 2 talk about great humor and narrator for many players; those who didn't talk about narrator can be annoying or too frequent. Which matters more to you?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Dungeons 2 received "mixed or average" reviews according to review aggregator website Metacritic. For the "A Chance of Dragons" DLC, Don van Deventer from MGR Gaming thinks it is a neat, little add on, and full of lore and references from other fantasy creations. Don thought the three new maps were thrilling and exciting; and the new dragon enemies were beautifully made. However, Don wished for the scenarios to have some narration. The review rated it 7 out of 10 points. For the "A Song of Sand and Fire" DLC, Don van Deventer from MGR Gaming criticised it & similar DLC's for lacking narration to the added missions. However, the DLC still packed a decent punch with large maps and new…

positive · AI labelView post →Is Minecraft Dungeons 2 a bad sequel?. I've played the first game and loved it, however I'm conflicted on purchasing the sequel as I've heard that its terrible in comparison to the first. It has mixed reviews on Steam, why is that the case? Have you purchased the game? If so, how good is it in comparison to the predecessor?

neutral · AI labelView post →It's some sort of strategy game and dungeon builder with two layers of gameplay: Managing your dungeon and clean sweeping the overworld of nasty heroes and adventurers. Balancing these layers is the key here. Having your units in the underground producing things or sending them out fighting. The difficulty remains very low for most of the campaign. It's a little bit more challenging if you play with friends. The DLC significantly ramps up the challenge. Still it's pretty basic compared to…

neutral · AI labelView post →Despite their hostile presence in Minecraft Dungeons 2, Sifters are naturally peaceful according to the novel and the various in-game quests. The Illagers' invasion has made them very defensive, however. If added to vanilla, what do you think they could do, aside from attacks? #Minecraft

positive · AI labelView post →One thing about Minecraft Dungeons 2 I'm not too sure about is the shield system. It doesn't seem like they'll be much of a factor in regular gameplay. That would be the third game in the franchise with overly simplistic shields. Hoping they get updated before the 3rd MCD game, one way or another.

neutral · AI labelView post →Yet another Dungeon Keeper rip-off, except unlike the first game, this one is very blatant. As expected of cheap rip-offs, it's like playing a 'remaster' made by a totally different dev team. And, even if you disregard the fact that it's just not a good clone, by itself it's just a bad game. Once again, most of the game is spent underground. You have your workers, which you use to build rooms, collect resources, dig out rooms, and so on. Here's where the game starts to stink. You have an unit…

How come dungeons 2 has so many cool mobs, biomes, features, bosses, etc, and they're already conceptualized, but they cant be added to the base game? Dungeons has MORE FEATUERS than vanilla rn!

I wish it took itself more seriously and wasn't trying so hard to be funny but there are so few evil overlord sims that we take what we can get. I like the mix of dungeon creator and over world rts elements. Can be a bit too easy at times but over all a decent game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super janky and unresponsive; generic art style; has bugs in the first 15 minutes of playing; the tutorial is extremely confusing if you don't know what to press exactly; but most importantly, the "English tale" narration and vibe are neither original, nor funny. If anything, it's irritating. Dungeon Keeper 2 from 1999 is way better in every sense.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this game, but I could only describe it as slow, clunky, and uninspired. It did not excite the parts of my mind that can sink hundreds of hours into a management simulation. Also, the audio mixing was of extremely poor quality in a way that I honestly found genuinely bewildering. I recommend giving this game a pass and looking for alternate titles in the genre; this is probably not what you're hoping for.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Incredible annoying and insulting narrator that won't stop pestering you because you're trying to play the game your way, it's like Twitch chat backseating before that even existed. Also the incredibly cumbersome 'pick up your units' mechanic in your dungeons makes it very difficult to actually micromanage if you're being attacked from multiple angles at all times and simply don't have the means to make guard rooms or traps because all your workers run away from the enemies that pour in so they…
