Soo people were ticked off at Dungeons as it was not actually Dungeon Keeper. Now people might be pissed off at this because it IS Dungeon Keeper - with enough difference so as not to get sued.
So, you dig out rooms, mine gold, slap creatures with the Hand of
Evil Terror and so on. I'll just list the differences with dungoun keeper - you buy creatures instead of them walking in, you have a population cap, you can upgrade creatures into new forms, you only have 4 base creature types for each of the 2 sides (Horde and Demonic) you can play (not counting workers), Instead of sleep and hunger, your creatures have a boredom and Thirst need, you can mine Mana as well as gold, and you can selectively research stuff. And, not least, you can fill in stuff you have dug out which helps with setting up room efficiency. And you have a sarcastic "narrator," who is quite frankly hilarious and will tell you off if you screw up a mission or take too long to "progress my story"
The big innovation is that you can send your creatures into the overworld, at which point the game turns into Warcraft 3. The story is mission based with you having to send your creatures into different caves or kill or grab things up there to progress. Once on top you can directly control your creatures A la Drag and click. You can also see and intercept Heroes on the way to the underworld. As you kill stuff the landscape Morphs, from Sunny and Green with floppy bunnies hopping about, to Dark and twisted as you clear sectors in the overworld.
The way the game handles the over and underground is very simple - it has a minimap on the left hand side for the overworld. If your creatures are in another dungeon they access from the overworld there is no minimap for that but you can hop to your creatures a couple of ways including the creature icon that appears over the minimap.
Anyway. I'm really enjoying this. Buy it
