I love the different take on Dungeon Crafting that is presented in Dungeons. The idea of luring the heroes in, making them as happy as possible, and then sucking the soul energy from them as they die is truly diabolical and befitting of the genre. Years prior to purchasing this bundle, I bought Dungeons on CD and decided to get the bundle for all the added content that I do not have. My only criticism of the game is …

Viewed as a pure theme park style game Dungeons is an easy recommend. Lots of fun animations and watching the heroes enjoy your dungeon is quite soothing. The one thing that kind of holds it back is how clunky the combat stuff is, which becomes more of an annoyance as you get deeper into the game. As you inevitably become incredibly strong via the management aspects of the game though it does still end up being …

Hey Kalypso? I shouldn't have to be editing system files just to bypass your launcher and data harvesting signup nonsense for a game from 2011. Have you considered not having utter contempt for your customers?

Save your time and money and just play Dungeons 2/3 instead. Dungeons is a decent game but is bogged down by a forced launcher, mandatory account sign up with an unreliable verification email requirement, wonky settings that are broken on modern systems, and tedious/grindy/repetitive missions. If you really want to play the game for completion's sake, go ahead, but you aren't missing much by skipping this.

I won't lie. Its not the worst game I have ever played. But man. Its a mental drain. Its boring. Long. Repetitive. The characters talk so slow. And the "Helper" is so annoying. This game is both really fun to play and interesting and really boring and draining and honestly? I couldn't tell you how.

35% of the 184 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Dungeons. The complaint that keeps coming up: forced Kalypso launcher and account signup. Deal-breaker or nitpick?
Critics, per Wikipedia
Dungeons received "mixed or average" reviews according to review aggregator Metacritic. Critics noted that the game was more about taking care of the heroes rather than your own creatures, in contrast to the Dungeon Keeper series. However, GameSpot panned the game as having "mind-numbing, repetitive gameplay."

The Chalice Dungeons certainly aren't a home run for the average player, but overall, I did enjoy them a lot more than I enjoyed ER dungeons. The layout was oftentimes repetitive, true, but so was Elden Ring in that regard. They could have seen the reception of BB's Chalice Dungeons and do something about it. The bosses were, overall, _a lot_ better than in ER. Amygdala can go choke on a brick, but the Pthumerians were cool, Abhorrent Beast and Fire Dawg…
