unlabelledView post →Some games on my Steam favorites list: Cataclysm, Dwarf Fortress, Hollow Knight, Salt and Sanctuary, the Long Dark, Portal 1/2 + Reloaded + Mel, Prey, Zomboid, Rimworld, War for the Overworld. Once or twice a year I feel like playing a game, and then am done with game for months afterwards.
unlabelledView post →Every 6 months or so I get an itch to play video game, and then play a few minutes and am good for another half year. Haven't touched that Dungeoncore game, War for the Overworld, in months. Zomboid either. Might try spinning em up soon.
unlabelledView post →I played more War for the Overworld, the first 2 chapters in the campaign which are tutorials. So far: very fun, charming, farting and gibbering minions and a taunting voiceover. The $5 game comes with a bunch of DLC campaigns and modes and such. Scratches my dungeoncore itch

unlabelledView post →10. Dungeon Keeper 2 I could play this game forever. It's a dungeon builder strategy game that is just pitch perfect and I wish there were more of. I played Overlord and War For the Overworld but they just don't scratch that itch as well as Dungeon Keeper 2 does.

unlabelledView post →Dungeon Keeper 2 - 1999 I loved taking care of "evil" creatures, building perfect dungeons and getting rid of "good" heroes. No other game felt like this one ever again, even the War for the Overworld (though it was a close one). This one also had really well done Polish translation.

unlabelledView post →War for the Overworld This was a really fun time. I only beat the base game campaign, but even then this was a lot of fun. I didn't really think dungeon-builder RTS games would be my thing, but this was on sale for like, $6. I am definitely going to check out the Dungeon Keeper games after this.

unlabelledView post →In terms of gameplay, the game is still pretty unique, matter of fact actually there's just one game that tried to do something similar afaik? (War for the Overworld) You have the tycoon aspect of it, but then combat actually has quite a lot of depth, specially if you account for possesing monsters
