Dungeons is a strategy/simulation video game developed by Realmforge Studios and published by Kalypso Media. It was announced August 12, 2010, and was released on January 27, 2011, in Germany[2] and February 10, 2011, in North America.

Gameplay[edit]

Dungeons differs from Dungeon Keeper[3] in that the purpose is to care for heroes and not monsters. In order to gain the Soul Energy needed to purchase high-end equipment for the dungeon, heroes need to be killed only after they are fully satisfied. Heroes are pleased if they, for example, find treasure or fight challenging, but not overpowering opponents. Unlike Dungeon Keeper, the player also has an on screen avatar, the Dungeon Lord, who can teleport bodies to the prison room to have their Soul Energy harvested or roam the dungeon defeating heroes. He will re-spawn at the dungeon heart if he is slain, at the cost of the dungeon heart's health points.[4]

Reception[edit]

Dungeons received 'mixed or average' reviews according to review aggregatorMetacritic.[5] Critics noted that the game was more about taking care of the heroes rather than your own creatures, in contrast to the Dungeon Keeper series.[citation needed] However, GameSpot panned the game as having 'mind-numbing, repetitive gameplay.'[3]

Dungeons allow players to group up for challenging instanced content. There are three different tiers of dungeons: Normal, Challenging and Heroic. All dungeons are available for parties of up to 6 members, and you can enter them through their respective portals in the game world or, most commonly used, through Dungeon Lobby (F8) which allows you to recruit manually on chat or LFP (automatching).

There are 2 modes which you can choose when looking for a dungeon: Easy Mode and Hard Mode. Hard Mode offers higher amounts of certain common rewards than Easy Mode as well as exclusive rewards such as outfits, psyches and other valuable items, however it requires way better gear and experience in the dungeon, since failing the mechanics will result in the boss enraging, defeating the party. In the other hand, failing the mechanics in Easy Mode enrages doesn't defeat the party. The bosses also have their stats significantly reduced.

Currently, the only dungeons available for Hard Mode are: Dreamsong Theater, Brood Chamber, Warped Citadel, Cathedra Cliffs, Hangar 0, Stonescale Passage, Halcyon Hills, Naryu Sanctum, and House of Idols.

In addition, there are other instanced zones, usually called 'raids', which you can't enter through the Dungeon Lobby and are made for a 12 people alliance. You can identify them by their Legendary tier.
