While it’s still somewhat struggling with the legacy of Bullfrog’s Dungeon Keeper, Dungeons 4 from German developer Realmforge Studios continues to carve out its own identity. A very solid and refined gameplay loop is somewhat held back by quickly dated humor and some visual clutter. If you liked the earlier Dungeons games, expect more of the same with smaller additions and improvements, but those itching to be evil don’t have a better alternative anyway.

Dungeons 4 has two sides. The dungeon part of the game is good, but far from ideal, and the overworld gameplay is primitive.

Some poor scriptwriting is easily forgiven because this is a fun and engaging title. Perhaps not a game of the year contender, but definitely worth picking up.

En general, Dungeons 4 es un juego correcto que mantiene razonablemente el interés durante las 20 misiones de su campaña, con suficiente variación en objetivos y métodos como para no volverse repetitivo. Es muy parecido a Dungeons 3, eso sí, lo cual implica que en realidad la gestión de la dungeon en si es un tanto superficial, pero está bien. La trama, eso sí, es basura, y a mi personalmente no me ha conseguido ni hacer reir ni nada. Pero el resto está bien, y tampoco es que haya alternativas a esta franquicia si quieres este tipo de jugabilidad así que...Gráficamente el juego es algo pobre, y lo mismo se puede decir de las animaciones. El sonido cumple bien, especialmente las voces de los actores de doblaje. Y al menos en mi tiempo jugando no he encontrado ningún bug, lo cual siempre es genial.Así que, en general, no va a cambiarle la vida a nadie pero si da sus horas de entretenimiento. Un 6.

Dialogues of the narrator are totally sanitized and boring... That doesn't encourage to replay....

Very repetitive, always the same, many rooms useless, many abilities useless. Throughout my entire playthrough on hard, I only needed a single spell and just the demons, and I steamrolled everything with that. Some levels are relatively annoying, with repetition over repetition over repetition. Basically, this game series is doing exactly the same as Saints Row. They are overdoing it, and it's not for the better. And to all the strategy fans out there, stay away from it. It has as much strategy as a dead dog on the road. Thank you.

Dungeons 4 marks the triumphant return of the series, offering a spectacular Dungeon manager/RTS that will keep players invested for hours. It never felt so good to be bad.

A fine continuation of a successful series, but you can see that the authors are sticking to this theme longer and slowly running out of ideas. The fun is kept up by a good campaign with elements of humour and you might even try out the co-op. This time it's still enough. But the developers might not consider a fifth installment, even though it's their most successful brand, because the fatigue of the material would probably show significantly.

If you enjoy strategy games then you will love this game. I enjoyed it so much that after completing the campaign on normal level, I played it again on difficult. It is fantastic how all the creatures have a job in the dungeon. The sound is great, the graphics amazing, the game play addictive and hard enough that the struggle is real.

Pros: - Humour works well, not too overbearing - Graphics and art style are good
- Streamlined. Very easy to learn. Cons: Achievements are 100% campaign based. It would have been more fun if some of the achievements were bigger accomplishments from other game modes in the mix. Gotta agree with Thalya in that the portals spawning anywhere in the dungeon on certain levels are fairly annoying as they can spawn in a room besides a finitude stone or in your graveyard destroying your undead spawners and voiding the 'no damage' achievement on the finitude stones

An iterative entry in the long running series that doesn’t bring much new to the table over the previous game, but is still an enjoyable romp, nonetheless.

Dungeons 4 doesn’t raise the bar for the dungeon-building subgenre, but it’s a delightful fantasy romp that harkens back to less complicated times, and that’s quite valuable on its own.

Dungeons 4 sticks to its guns: slapstick humour, dungeon master vibes and simple gameplay. Nothing more, nothing less.

It is extremely fun to play, funny and strategic at the same time. Not to mention a little bit addictive.

Was a ton of fun. My type of humor and addictive gameplay. I burned through this game pretty quick which is rare nowadays. Had some performance issues but they fixed quickly after launch with patch. Played on game pass, otherwise probably wouldn't have bought it, but I think it's worth the purchase price if you like dungeon keeper games.

Главный минус игры - она банально не смешная. взять хоть бои...теперь они проходят практически в полной тишине. Советчик постоянно что то говорит но постоянно просто это обычный разговор. Не имеющий к игре никакого отношения .Юмор крайне не смешной. Экономика сломана на корню. Музыка крайне нудная. Пафос вызывающий улыбку сейчас вызывает раздражение.. Ритм игры то очень быстрый...то безмерно унылый. Исследования проводятся одним щелчком мышки. Куча магии и зелий которые реально ни на что не влияют. Карты создавал явный дебил.- в большинстве ты не воюешь с врагами а ищешь проходы в кустах. удобного перемещения между мирами нет. Дисбаланс просто дикий.
Если отбросить графику то первый Данжен Киппер превосходит эту игру многократно.
SummaryThe Absolute Evil and its trusted *cough* servant, the Dark Elf Thalya, return in Dungeons 4 after the events of its fabulous predecessor to bring about their triumph over the forces of good once more.
