The game revolves around Deimos, foremost of all Dungeon Lords. As if that were not enough, another Dungeon Lord lives one level below you who, to top it all off, is also your boss and bombards you with useless tasks! Of course, it goes without saying that malicious and sneaky beings such as yourself are already hard at work trying to take his place!

For the competition never sleeps, and other Dungeon Lords would like to claim your territory for themselves. In addition to the heroes, you should also always keep an wary eye on the underground. Perhaps a small sum could persuade them to forget their moral and ethical principles for once? If you've beaten up too many of their friends, the powerful and vindictive Champions will occasionally make their way to your Dungeon. For happy heroes have more valuable soul energy for you to gleefully extract from them in your prison or torture chamber!īut even though these self-proclaimed warriors for the good are not much more than an excellent source of resources for you, you still should not underestimate them. And once they are finally happy enough - it's time for the 'harvest'. So throw them a few treasures and some equipment, give them a couple of fights for entertainment and cherish and look after them. But isn't it more entertaining and deliciously evil to watch them attain their heart's desire - and then take take it ALL away? Naturally, you could always just annihilate them with a snap of your fingers. Heroes will visit your dungeon in search of battle and treasure. Dim-witted goblin workers tremble as they await your orders and dig corridors and rooms into the rock at your command.

Been there, done that - about a thousand times? Then it is definitely time to switch sides and show that hero just who's who in the dungeon!Īssume the role of a mighty (and mighty evil) Dungeon Lord and create your own diabolical demesnes underground. A mighty hero stalks through a dark, dank dungeon making life miserable for hordes of pitiable monsters as he steals anything and everything not bolted to the floor.
