Dungeon Keeper is a new mobile free to play game by EA, and one of the most aggressive games in the genre. It has elements of a game, but these are so well hidden beneath shiny buttons, childish images and tons of tough rock, that it’s better to avoid the dungeon altogether.

The game is heavily influenced by the in-app purchases, to the point of becoming a pay-to-play title. Don't Play it.

Dungeon Keeper is an anti-game. It sucks the joy of gaming out of me and it has no redeeming qualities, not in the slightest. Calling it greedy would be understatement of the year. The already tarnished image of free-to-play could hardly receive a more devastating blow than that which Dungeon Keeper has given it. It eats at my soul every time I play it. And that's why I'll uninstall, nay, banish it from my tablet as soon as I've finished this sentence.

Microtransaction nightmare pay to play filled game. They ruined an easy win.

Corporate **** on a great franchise from my childhood. Pay-to-not-wait garbage with super greedy and **** microtransactions. Thanks EA I hate it.

After 2017 update, game is worth playing. Never tried it before this update since the reviews where so bad. I don't know if the mechanic changed after the updates, but the building time, cost and microtransactions have uttermost been reduced concidering most of the reviews. Nonetheless I am enjoying to play this gem ****. To bad the scar is to big to restore I am afraid.

Dungeon Keeper’s pared-down reboot is fun on its own right, even if it's not quite the same creature as the excellent classic games it’s based on.

It's not Dungeon Keeper, but Dungeon Keeper has enough going for it that it's worth a punt.

Don't listen to those "core gamer" cry babies (they clearly don't core gamers, just cry babies). If you love Clash of Clans, you will love this one too. This game (despite those negative reviews) is not about microtransaction, you can be good without paying a dime. But ofc if you could spend some dollars/euro/"whatever your currency is" on it, it will be easier for you. I'm playing it since launch, I never payed for it, and the game is still fun for me. :-) Cheers!

Dungeon Keeper offers some quality gameplay elements that are spaced out from a relatively predictable free to play structure.

It could've been a chance to give a second life to an old classic, but EA got this all wrong. The managing side is poor, and a greedy microtransaction system ultimately spoils the fun.

Instead of feeling like the keeper of a dungeon, it made me feel like I was being kept in one.

Dungeon Keeper is not a video game, not any more. Instead it’s just a virtual beggar, constantly demanding your spare change and offering nothing in return.

This game is great fun if you adjust many of your expectations about the game you're playing. If you don't mind playing a game for a few minutes out of every hour, with mechanics otherwise very similar to dungeon keeper you will enjoy playing this game. If you basically wanted to play DK1 or 2 on your phone, or while on public transport, or away from a power source, you will be disappointed.

Despite a shaky release that made it look more like a cash-grab than a game, Dungeon Keeper has slowly evolved to be a decent Clash of Clans style game that offers a unique style due to it's setting. You can actually plan where the enemy has to travel in your dungeon, allowing for another level of strategy in your defense. While it is not the best game, it is still fun.

Ok the main reason for much of the hate for this game is this, Dungeon Keeper 1 and Dungeon Keeper 2 had these games not happened then this game would be a great addition to any phone!, unfortunately these games have been made, there for creating a pay2play game out of a classic brings the ire of the world! if you played the original games, don't get this game!! infact go on **** and buy the pc games, if you haven't played the originals then have fun!

Only Electronic Arts could make such a horrible, awful cash-grab. I just can't believe how anyone could let this game be released... But it's EA, so what do you expect?
SummaryDevilishly smart. Deploy wicked tactics and dominate your enemies! Build the ultimate underground lair and summon diabolical forces to do your bidding. It’s tower defense…without the tower…and a lot more offensive!
