  • Evil Genius is a fantastic management simulator where you play an evil genius whose job is to become a villain of legend by amassing infinite money and infinite minions to send off on dangerous missions to make yourself more notorious! Today The Spiffing brit is visiting this 16 year old classic game to see if Evil Genius is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits as I am sure you all remember it! Or if the invincibility glitch and infinite money exploit thanks to the Minion Only Challenge is broken! I guess its up to all of you to find out!!! One thing is for certain is that the spiffing brit is bound to exploit the game to remove all the challenge normal players might face in this fantastically funny Austin power and James bond themed experience!
    What you have seen here today is part of a fantastic perfectly balanced series on youtube where I go from game to game and break them with wacky exploits to gain things like unlimited gold. If you enjoyed this then be sure to check out more. The style is similar to RT game and callmekevin in parts. A large influence on this series has come from Valefisk and The Killian Experience.
    So sit back relax and enjoy this Evil Genius Minion only challenge!

    I usually turn that outside hut into a disguised cell for the super agents, so when they escape they don't tear up your base. Another trick was making a labyrinth of doors and hallways to keep the agents blowing all their time trying to open locked doors, while just going around in circles.

      That trick gets better than that, actually - to the point of being a Proper exploit. You can get money for agents triggering traps, meaning you:
      1. Construct a wind blender where one windblowing trap blows an agent into another, and another, and another in a circle/square, but the wind makes them fall through other traps which are there to be triggered just to generate money
      2. Lure agents in there
      3. Get some MAD cash with no heat generation whatsoever

So the very top few had a ton of wealth, and could do anything they wanted unchecked. So it's nice in theory. But in practice it doesn't work. Because people aren't the angelic saviours they would like to be. As for the feudalists, well... I think the disproportion of wealth,power etc. is quite obvious there.

    The old game called the Lord's of chaos has a few exploits where you carry impossible weights by filling up an empty vial with a potion when you have maxed out your weight limit. You can also throw locked treasure chests and filled couldrons across the entire map. That means your front line troops have explosive vials and healing as well as invisibllaty couldrons they can drink straight from. Good turn based game where you are fighting other people. Summoning a heap of creatures to fight for you is fun.

      OF COURSE! Think about it.
      You come into work, you put your stuff in a locker, and then you get shipped off to Europe to do crime.

      Yes. Why would you sleep in dungeon, when there is almost empty hotel next to you.

    I played this game back when it came out with a friend, seeing who could make the most messed up and broken trap setups was a blast.

      Jemsterr Continent borders are the result of diplomatic/bureaucratic agreements. Why else is there a line between Asia and Europe, or Europe and Africa?

    One of the reasons I always like your videos when you ask for a like, outside of your content being amazing and deserving likes regardless, is because you actually put effort into the way that you ask for it. You don't just say "LIKE THIS VIDEO" at the beginning, you'll actually create something that's thematic, have it interlink via context in some way, and put together images, and all this cool stuff. You'll put more time and effort (as far as voice recording takes, sequencing the photos, etc..) into asking for a like than some people put in their entire video combined.
