Background music is from the Dungeon Keeper OST
For the record, that amazing narrator? Went to look up what he's doing now. Turns out he plays the father of Peppa Pig.
Yes, really.
He is also the equally amazing narrator for the spiritual successor of Dungeon Keeper, War for the Overworld.
He also voiced War for the Overworld, a spiritual DK3.
Wolfebane42 Peppa Pig is quality. I watch it with my kids all the time.
Richard Ridings is the voice actor's name. I wish he'd do a DK-style gps narration thing.
The gap is mind blowing.
I had this and the sequel instead of a girlfriend when I grew up.
You're not alone there, man.
I'm sure you had a few mistresses.
Ben Sanders haha, that I did.
Osquar are you feeling alright buddy? Do you have a thing you want to share with us?
the only difference is that having a game costs less money
I'm always baffled by how unbelievably good this game is for 1997
You mean "Bad"?
Old games didn't have graphics to fall back on, they had to relie on game play. It's like comparing radio and tv. Radio has to have a good story because it can full back on 10 seconds of silence as someone does something benign.
I was there. Quake and Unreal engine was the best. All others only third.
Why? Half of the greatest games of all time were made in the 90's
@@michaelluck5577 DK aged well
This is honestly one of the best games ever made. Bullfrog were the masters of PC gaming, the worlds they created and the amount of detail they put in them is something developers struggle to be on par with even now.
LGR videos are pure quality from start to finish
he's got a great voice and utilizes it to it's full potential, which is like half of the joy of his videos. Second perhaps only to his obvious love for the subject matter.
yeah, but his editing and production are on point too
You are pure quality.
Cynical Inquisition single tear rolls down my face
Well honestly speaking, there can be issues in his videos but since we are hypnotized by the nostalgia, we ignore them automatically :P
1997 :
Diablo
Fallout
Age of Empires
Final Fantasy VII
Carmageddon
GoldenEye 007
Gran Turismo
Tomb raider II
Diablo one love
Quake II
twas a golden age. i played several of those.
Fallout best game
i miss bullfrog so much :(
I was always sad they never made that superhero game they'd talked about throughout the 90s but never managed to bring together.
exactly.. I still play theme hospital and dungeon keeper 2 from time to time
war for the overworld is pretty good too
EA ruins everything.
They wanted to add Bullfrog to their gelatinous mass.
bullfrog still exists they just make games for xbox now.
DK is my favorite game EVAAAr.
I do have an FX version on my pc. The 2 last levels are epic and difficult and it takes hours to finish them. Too bad you touched on only the basics and showed the first 5-6 levels. Horny and his fits deserved a mention :) The expansion is the whole other level of difficult. And it's awesome.
Regarding dark humor: I love to watch the animation when I slap the creatures, when they eat chickens. Most of them are unique animations. Also they look different when you grab them with your evil hand. Hellhound's constant need to urinate on the cemetery always cracks me up.
But possess the creature is pretty awesome. When I was 10 it was like a dream come true. All other "god view" strategy games I had at the time never had that feature. And my 10 year old brain was imagining it and wanting it so bad. Flash forward to our day....damn, we've got all the techmologies but Nothing will replace DK in my heart. I still play through it once a year.
Thanks for the review and an excuse for me to write this.
Yeah, Dungeon keeper is my fav game as well, if you couldn't tell :)
First person view is invaluable addition. It's just so cool to possess a fly to scout around viewing the world with it's fragmented eyes.
Or possess an imp and attack your creatures for the sake of experience, grinding yourself to level 3 and gaining the speed ability.
Or throw a bunch of guys in the barracks, possess one of them and lead the party to the victory - through the rivers and lava with no bridges, with no need for flags, additional money etc., etc.
Yeah, you can mine faster, and scout, also abuse corners
@@Ajoura you have to train imps in training room.
possess a chicken and get yourself eaten
It's so awesome to be able to wander through your own dungeon that you made.
Plus I had to use it to beat some levels where the enemy cheated by rushing me before I even had beds so spamming screaming projectiles was my only option
Populous, Syndicate , Dungeon Keeper, Theme Hospital and another great Studio killed by EA "It's good to be bad" this a good slogan of Electronica Arts :/
Lepa EA killed EA. Damn, they were good. Just like Ubisoft, SE, and others....
budakbaong siah EA killed all od the best studiów :( They dont care about gamers only makes money. I never forgive destroy od Westwood and Bulfrog. Amaizing RTS series .. My favorite. I Hope that they will not buy CD PROJECT. They tried once already
They fucked over Westwood in the same way. Bioware games are the only EA products I buy. If they ever let Visceral make Dead Space 4 I'll buy that too. But really, I hope EA goes out of business. I really do.
CD Projekt RED gave BioWare and Bethesda a massive bitchslap. These companies are supposed to be veterans of the RPG genre and then here comes this (untill recently) small, relatively unknown company from Poland, and shows them how to make a great RPG, something BioWare and Bethesda have apparently forgotten how to do. What's even worse, as far as the business assholes are concerned, they do it while treating the players like adults and not treating their paying customers like criminals. There's a reason why CDPR is revered by gamers, and EA is loathed. For gamers, EA is practically a swear word.
What pisses me off about buyouts is this: Ok, some company does well, they make good games and are successful, sales and reviews are good, so someone wants a piece of the action. Right, that's fine, I get it, so then a publisher buys the company. But then they cockblock the developer and try to tell them what to do, they step on the toes of the talented ccreative people that made them want to buy the company in the first place, and then they act surprised when the next game doesn't sell as well as expected. Well gee! I wonder why. Why the fuck could that be? It couldn't be the dumbass suit sitting in a boardroom that doesn't even play games who can only see the world through the lens of the latest focus group getting in the way of the people that actually know what the fuck their doing. Look at Dead Space 3, that's exactly what happened. What we got was not the DS3 Visceral wanted to make. EA basically forced them and then the sales underpreformed.
Even from a business standpoint this doesn't make sense. Why bring on talented, knowledgable people if you aren't going to let them do their job? This isn't just a problem with EA. Activision is no better and neither is Ubisoft or Konami. The real problem is games have become big business. Now we have a bunch of stupid buisnessy rich fucks like Mitt Romney calling the shots instead of the passionate people. This is why CDPR is successful, they care about the games. They make good money and that's great, but they would still be doing this if they weren't making a lot, because it's what they love doing, it's not about the money. The money is just a nice bonus. That's how you know when someone is an artist, or a whore. It doesn't matter what it is, video games, acting, music, painting, writing, whatever, ANYTHING. If they're doing it for the money, they're a whore. If they genuinely love what they do and would still do it if they were poor, they're an artist. When money and big companies get involved in things, they suck all the life, passion, spirit and integrity out of it.
I really hope CDPR resists attempts to get acquired, they are publically traded but they are still their own majority stockholder, and I hope EA and the rest of them take a good long look at what CDPR is doing right and what they are doing wrong.
irllcd13 well said man.
Got it when GOG gave it away FOR FREE as an apology for the portable version, to bad DOS box is a bit cack on tablets
I got it for free this way too. Currently I haven't installed it anywhere, but I've been meaning to see about getting it running on a ye-olde Transmeta Crusoe-based laptop, somehow.
Origin had it for free a couple months ago, which is where I snatched it from.
Same here. Managed to get it working even on my phone (needs bluetooth keyboard/ mouse but still a thousand times better than that "official" mobile abomination.
That was tempting, but its to much hassle to carry extra stuff around, also wanted to get Theme hospital on it, there is a work around, but im lazy and dont really want a game that ill spend hours on for a game ill play on the toilet at work
Mike Dix get magic dosbox off the playstore its the best dosbox on android. it runs dungeon keeper quite well on my samsung galaxy note 3. there are videos here on youtube that show you how to setup the games to run magic dosbox just search its name
This game was just brilliant, so dense and multifaceted. So far ahead of its time, plus such a great sense of dark humour.
"It's like Populous knocked up Quake." Best LGR quote nominee.
I've never seen this game before, and I'm really impressed by the artwork. It's dated, sure, but it holds up today. This must have been incredible back in '97. The graphics are better than Starcraft.
Man, can you imagine being the human in this game? "WHY IS THERE RANDOM LIGHTNING?! OH MY GOD THIS GAME IS IMPOSSIBLE."
That's what the multiplayer was-- One player would play the dungeon master, and the other would control the humans.
You can experience it in real life too! Just join a D&D group with a vengeful DM!
Reminds me of the quest to dodge 200 lightning bolts in Final Fantasy X...ugh.
@@StrayGuitarist no that's not how it worked.
Also, great touch with the overworld map progression. Appreciate that addition a lot Clint. :)
Glad it didn't go unnoticed :)
MagikGimp good on you, sir (or madam) for writing "a lot" as two separate words :)
@@thiccest Most people separate a lot these days.
alot was a 90's thing.
Definitely. I was thinking he must have had to play the full game through to record that shot before making the video. Nice work
People work harder if you slap them
fyi, war for the overworld is an indie game thats pretty much a royalty free sequel to this game, they even got richard ridings! :D
war for the overworld was canned just before bullfrog died off.
unless you are talking about a finished version of it that was recently made..
He's talking about a recent indie dungeon keeper clone.
War for the Overworld is a Indie game. It released in pretty rough shape, since they were about to run out of money, but by now it is feature complete and works great buy.wftogame.com/
It's also on Steam.
My Favorite thing about this game was first person mode, and it wasn't as useless as you may think you just had to be creative. For example, you could use a minion to infiltrate the competitors base, while running a distraction with the AI controlled minions, exposing areas not seen before. If you use your highest leveled characters with long range weapon capability, you can handle any trouble you may encounter, avoiding many issues using first person line of sight.
Backed War for the Overworld and waited many years for it to release. What a gem that game has become in the spirit of DK, even down to RR doing the voice overs. I played many, many, maaaaaaaaaaany hours on DK/DK2.
This is definately in my top 3 best games of all time. Such a flawless classic!
This and Theme Hospital are just the most fun games I've played during my teenage years. They are true masterpieces!
Dungeon Keeper 2 had some streamlining that made sense for the user experience, and multiplayer - namely the Call-to-Arms feature and constructing doors and traps, not to mention building rooms and picking up minions - but it lost some of the soul and ingenuity of the original. The original had a lot of interesting dynamics and options that allowed for a lot of sideways strategies (converting minions via the scavenger room, claiming territory with invisible imps, etcetera), whereas Dungeon Keeper 2 was built for the direct style of get-minions-level-minions-attack-with-minions. Both good in their own right, but there was nothing quite like the original, if you ask me. If you're interested in a modern taken on the game, take a look at War for the Overworld - it regularly goes on sale.
Good video! Cheers!
been waiting for this video for ages, thank you for this amazing review LGR!
Quite welcome!
What can I say about this classic gem of GAMEPLAY? No matter what kind of video game genre you prefer, you have to play this one.. Like the corny saying of 100 movies or paintings or poems or whatever to see before you die, Dungeon Keeper is surely on top 10 of games to play before you die.
It's the little subtle details that makes this a pure pleasure of experiencing. Like the different ways your creatures eat their chickens, or been tortured, or dislike other species, or how they sleep, how much are being paid,or even what are the first abilities they learn as they level up which clearly defines their character and work ethics.
Take for instance the backbone of your dungeon. The imp. The blue collar worker of the century. I mean the way they prioritize their tasks is phenomenal (genius programming). First they dig you the gold. The more you slapped them (btw I never did..I respected them way too much) the faster they worked without getting angry or giving you the finger (Bile Demons on the other hand..) or even liking it (the Mistress..oh man.. in a group like the Vampires were unstoppable)
So after delivering the traps, collecting prisoners, fortifying your walls, sending the corpses to the graveyard only then they could steal a tiny bit of time to replenish their energy by smoking(?) their pipe. And if your dungeon heart got attacked then they drop off any task in an instance and rush through your corridors to protect your core with their life. I mean come on.. If only I can steal an imp to sort out the bureaucracy of my life in general..haha.
I can write pages about the philosophy and coehesion of this game. Bullfrog team under Peter Molyneux was a beast and this game is the perfect example. And as most things in life, it takes time to really appreciate it.
Thank you Clint for the review.
PS Dungeon Keeper 2 as a stand alone game was decent. But as the sequel of DK 1, it lacked on so many levels..
i skipped most of your post because Dungeon Keeper 2 is better.
If you liked that game so much then check out Saga Realms, its a fusion of dungeon keeper and majesty the fantasy kingdom together into 1 game and with the control of a RTS.
@@nagash303 no.
I LOVED this game when it first came out! This is the kind of game that I feel could go on forever. New villains. New hero’s. New traps etc etc . Updates or DLCs or whatever!
"Army of LARP'ers" lol
Totally favorite game from my Young. Thanks for the nostalgia tribute Clint.
I remember seeing this package when way back then and wondering what it was (my PC wasn't powerful enough to play it I guess). Ahh... the good memories shopping for games at a store. :-)
Uuuugh this game is so good.
Fun fact: all those sound clips for the world map are just music files on the disk. That is the reason I had the Cozyton (sp?) one as my text alert for some time.
Dungeon Keeper 1 is still an absolutely amazing game. Totally playable today.
Also... dynamic lighting somehow still better realized than that of many modern games. Mindblowing at the time!
Wow! Never knew about this one. Love these types of games. Gonna try it. Nice review man!
This channel makes me want to buy an old Crt Pc monitor just to play 800x600 game like God almighty dictates.
_DO IT._
I still have mine in the attic , because I have been to lazy for the past 12 years to throw them out :D
Gabriele Riva im playing fallout 1.
800x600? Bah, we had a Mac with Thousands of colors in 640x480!
Too high. Mode 13h, Mode X or SVGA 640x480 is where it's at ;-)
I had Dungeon Keeper 2 as a kid. I had never heard anything about it before and went into it totally blind.
It turned out to be one of the most memorable PC gaming experiences of my childhood. It was one of those rare gaming moments where you take a risk on a random BestBuy bargaining bin game mostly because you're a 13 year old boy who only has 5 dollars and there's some boobies on the cover.
And then the game turns out to be unexpectedly awesome.
the direct control tool was awesome, take control of a lvl 10 mistress and run her to the opponents heart and kill it as soon as the map started.
It's awesome in the sense that it kind of ruins the challenge and half of what makes the game appealing to me, but to each their own :P
did that once by taking control over a dragon. Level 2. Second map of the frozen world, made it stealth like trough their dungeon heart. Destroyed it. 11/10 Would cheap out like this again
I really loved that too. It's pretty overpowered, but trying to finish a level by only possessing one minion is still a decent challenge. You can also get a sort of proto-Minecraft feel if you posses an imp. I bet Notch was a fan of DK. Oh, and you can posses chickens.
Notch has stated that DK was one of many influences :) so you wouldn't be wrong in that assumption.
You could also take over the wasps and fly into areas that were covered by the fog-of-war and where you could not click. The wasps were fast and a sneaky way to checkout your opponent and find weaknesses in their defenses.
DK along with theme hospital pretty much dominated my gaming experience in the mid-late 90's. Still regularly play it now, it just NEVER gets old.
Also, there is a steam indie game called War for the Overworld which is a spiritual successor to this game. While not AS GOOD as the Original, i highly recommend it.
loving this.. almost made it through (yes very late to the table)
If you liked that game so much then check out Saga Realms, its a fusion of dungeon keeper and majesty the fantasy kingdom together into 1 game and with the control of a RTS.
Oh. so that's what this game plays like. There's a similar game on the PSP called "Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman!" which is probably the best title
War for the Overworld! It bears mention, man! It's the DK team getting back together to give us more magic.
Babbleplay it had a bad start but they were struggling with cash flow so it was released in a buggy state. They patched it and is good now.
Babbleplay Yep! It has been refined and is now pretty much as good as the original DK.
Anthony Micari
Oh man, I intend to do a playthrugh run for it.
Halala Hululu I'd suggest giving it another shot. They added another campaign and fixed a lot of issues they had on release.
I used to play this game like mad 20 years ago. I feel old.
Why not use ALT+R to run the game in high resolution mode? It will look a lot better :P
He explicitelly states that He likes pixelated dos nigthmares and You should sue him to change his mind, was still shocked that He did not use higher res in this case or was not aware of it, oh well.
One of my "big 3" as a kid. The 3 games I spent the most time playing: Dungeon Keeper, Theme Hospital, and Pharaoh (from the Impressions City Builder series). What a classic.
I LOVE this game. It was actually really good.
youtube just recommended to me that I watch Total biscuit review DK2. I miss him so much!! The comments saying how much everyone misses him made me cry.
Oooh, Dungeon Keeper. A great classic (with a great sequel). Got it years and years ago (unfortunately, one of the rereleases that never seem to come with the CD audio...) and loved it instantly. I do love these "management" type games, like this, Evil Genius and that. A quick question for you, Clint: Have you tried War for the Overworld? It's a pretty good... clone? remake? spiritual sequel? not sure what word to use but whatever. Not perfect, but no game is. Plus, they did get the narrator from Dungeon Keeper too.
Spiritual Sucessor i would call it. It changed and updated way too many things to still be considered a clone, and now a year later it is way better than before too!
Back when game developers tried to make great games, instead of cash grabs that are eviscerated and full of DLC.
This is one of my favourite games of all time. So immersive :) thanks for the review clint.
Sweet, I'd been looking forward to your review of this!!!!
wait, this game was rated M? Seriously?
WHAT??!!!! the possession ability was one of the most amazing things that I remember.
Finally a Dungeon Keeper review by LGR! I was waiting for this day a long time :)
I clicked on this from another old youtube video, thinking it must be some 2011 LGR review I had missed out on all these years :D really was happy to see the March 2017 date
I still remember the demo for this game. It was just one level, but I didn't care. I must've played that level a hundred times before I finally found a copy of the full game.
This looks like fun. I had to check this game out since I found the awesome story of Dungeon Life. Never heard of Dungeon Keeper until now.
That in game music makes me tingle with joyful memories :D
I'm happy you called the mobile game an abomination. It's DISGUSTING how price gouging it is.
1997 really was a good year for RTS, Total Annihilation was amazing
aha here it is
my dad still plays this
he likes to mess about on the deeper dungeon levels
on one level he managed to get over 100 skeletons
Lol that's awesome
Hours and days and weeks and months of freaky fabulous fun playing this GREAT game........ :) :)
BULLFROG produced amazing, stupendous, hilarious and timeless products.
I will definitely get it again on GOG! ;)
I'm a modern PC gamer....but my god I love this game.
The gameplay never got beaten, even to this day.
TheSeanminator still holds a place from my childhood playing dungeon keeper, couldn't agree more.
Gameplay was/is really unique.
Try sacrifcing a couple of chickens... :P
Or (if you dared!) sacrifice Horny! >:) Or you could (after you had beaten the lvl ofc) slap him a couple of times and watch him slaughter e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g in sight!
This game was my childhood. Loved it so much
dungeons 4 just came out today and its pretty good game i think
Oh my, I've been waiting for this review. Yet another sad victim of EA.
VuRkka EA being EA
I remember my dad picking up Dungeon Keeper for me and our computer was barely powerful enough to run it. That's hard to imagine now. LoL :)
Am I the only person who misses the days of huge, beefy manuals?
I'd love to see you do a review of Dune for MS-DOS from the early '90s. Love all the videos you make though!
I remember when I was 5 years old and my dad was playing dungeon keeper and he let me play and it was the best gaming experience of my life (at the time)
Add this to the list of amazing games I didn't play as a kid and wish I had...
Greatest game ever !! bought it when it came out, it is now 2017 and still play it at least once a month
I loved this game... I think you convinced me to play it again!
I want lgr to be my replacement daddy... :(
Worth mentioning that the original version came with some bugs, and, in typical Molyneux fashion, post-launch support was dropped like a hot potato. Something like half the bonus levels do not work (either the transfer creature box isn't present, so you can't take the prize to the next dungeon, or the hidden realm box is missing from the regular dungeon level). Also a few functionalities mentioned in the manual were never implemented in the game. The most notable one being the Cave In spell causing tunnels to be filled back with earth.
I think the missing level connectors and other bugs were fixed as part of KeeperFX (though I'm not 100% certain on this).
review nocturne and heavy metal FAKK 2... i see it on your shelf displayed proudly so you must enjoy the game yes?
I was wondering when you were gonna cover this fantastic game! Good memories from when I was a child lol they actually had this on origins on the house section last year I believe good stuff
5:36 Wait, was that a Lord of the Rings reference?
It made me think of Sauromon (sp?) talking about how the dwarves "delve too greedily and too deep," or something along those lines. Maybe I'm just crazy, lol. I'll have to look it up, I guess.
Loser's Club you bet! Mines of moria iirc.
One of the best games (both parts) of all times. IMO it deserves to be in the top 20 games of all times. To bad it didn't get as much hype as it deserved. And definitely it's a shame that there is no sequel =(
mark healey looks like Daryl form TWD
man I remember getting that game both actually for 2 bucks at wal mart and they were full games. they were fun as all hell.
"meh, you win some you lose some. we all die in the end"
One of my old favourite PC games. Spent so many time beating up minions so they'd get irritated and rebel.
This was the first game i ever owned back in the 90's. I was little and had the chance to play the demo on one of the 95 discs. I used to play the shit out of this game and i still do to this very day (not as much though). However, i do mod it through file and map editor as i've played the original so many times.
Have you played Evil Genius?
radishdalek now thats an amazing title that i completely forgot about a whole bunch ofem in the early 2000's the one that let you make gator sharks and the one that put you in charge of haunting houses RTS needs a kick ass PC exclusive comeback !
Now THAT needs a review. Evil Genius is one of the titles that I make an effort to go back to because its just FUN.
I wish Evil Genius was better. Really enjoyed it but flawed as hell.
I was addicted to this game as a kid
I love how DOS graphics are so timeless that it still looks great today.
(Speaking as someone who wasn't yet born when this game was released)
Pixel art at its finest
Had both games. The va is awesome.
Clicking a town and "EVERSMILE....a wretched town in which the residents are always happy, and plagued by aching facial muscles.."
Kill them all. This game kicks ass. 🙂
Can you imagine how cool it would be to have a "Build-your-own-dungeon" DLC for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim?!
MAN.... about 1½ mins into this video i recognize this game from my childhood! And all i remember is that i understood NOTHING at the time. :D I believe i played it MAYBE 3 times. But i still remember... how i understood absolutely nada. But then what was i?? No more than 7-8y old.
Funny you bring up Peter Molyneux as @LarryBundyJr. makes fun of him in some videos.
EDIT (5/6/2022): Most videos I should say. This comment is so old it makes me feel old.
Some? Isn't it most? :P It's nice to see that he wasn't always a punching bag. He did start to promise too much in his games and not deliver, but these were his good times.
Why wouldn't he? This is Peter's game and to be frank back in the day he was a prolific developer who could do no wrong. Turns out he could but yeah lmao.
As someone who was extremely excited for Black and White, all I can say is that the criticism is probably warranted.
Larry manages to include a Peter joke in EVERY video. He must really hate him.
The thing about molyneux is that hed over-promise like there was no tomorrow. Even if the game is pretty good, the hype train will still go off the rails. If he could just shut his mouth.
"It's like Populus knocked up Quake... " - hilarious :-D
I always liked to posses a super strong creature and run straight to the enemy dungeon heart, then when you unpossess it, it kinda looks around for a few seconds, realizes where it's at, and starts whooping ass lol.
Eeeee this is a good chunk of my young child-teenagehood. I love the review! Amazing content as always!
This is my favourite PC game of all time and it kills me to see you playing it with the walls so low. Doesn’t do the game justice.
3:55
"mmm It's like Populous knocked up Quake, I love it" hahahaha
Simply one of the best game OSTs of all time!
I remember the day when i played it on my pentium 90 missing the school classes :) The game was beautiful.
First person can be really useful on some maps actually, and can easily upset the balance of power in a map because of the simple fact that enemy AI doesn't understand sidestepping.
Peter Molyneux's slow retraction into obscurity and many failed project are similar to an old friend calling you evermore infrequently until the calls stop forever. Peter Molyneux defined the late 1980s and 1990s gaming for me, he will always part of that awesome group of game designers including several great figures such as Will Wright, Jeff Braun, Sid Miers, Jon Van Caneghem, Sean Cooper, Mike Harrington, Gabe Newell, and Chris Roberts. Whilst I played the earlier Zelda and Link games initially, as my mother introduced gaming to me since she herself liked to play on Nintendo, I got hooked on PC-gaming by encountering Syndicate, Populous, Dungeon Keeper, and Maxis SimCity 2000 through my older brother.
Regardless of how hard it is to find anything about Peter Molyneux being part of a creative task today, or that his latest game Godus didn't revive the rather still god game genre, or how irrelevant he may become, no one can deny the fact that he is an gaming icon.
Great review, I keep playing DK still after all these years. My only problem is that not one of my friends wants to play it mp with me :'(
I had the US box, and it also had a little storybook of the adventurer from the opening cinematic and his final journey.
Like how he showed up in the new fight wish there was more mods like that love da stories even in online style games
Hell of a game... gonna have to go and play it again now.
The Best game in the world for me. This is my childhood. All about this game is so good music, art etc.
The idea of being Satan managing your satanic minions to kill heroes and human dieties is so cool!
Evil, malice, death, decay - there really is no better way!
