Quick Play Overview

Dungeon Keeper 2 is a real-time strategy game of dungeon building. Some might call this a "god game," since you are acting, in a sense, as the lord and sovereign over your own domain. The heart and soul of this game is the creation of a dungeon that will attract and house a plethora of dank and vile creatures.

As you play through the lands of the campaign game, you will play through scenarios that will offer you a wide variety of challenges. But to meet these challenges, you must first construct the support system of a dungeon that will facilitate your actions.

A dungeon spiders out from a dungeon heart. This magical, pulsing structure is the source of your evil power. From here, you will tunnel into the surrounding earth to create corridors and rooms. As you tunnel and grow your underground realm, you'll discover portals that will let a wide variety of nightmare creatures enter and take up lodging in your rooms.

To keep these creatures happy and productive, you will must transform barren room areas into specialized environments, such as lairs for the creatures to rest, a hatchery to provide fresh food for them, a workshop to allow the creation of traps and other objects, a library to facilitate spell research, and so on.
