Dungeons 2

Dungeons 2 is a more direct homage to Dungeon Keeper than its predecessor. The player still takes on the role of the Ultimate Evil, but now as a disembodied spirit after his defeat by heroes of the Overworld. The player must rely on controlling minions with the Hand of Terror. Named minions are hired, and can be leveled up and trained to be more powerful. The player must meet the needs of the minions in order to keep them happy, or they may disobey commands.

The player has to build the dungeon by selecting blocks for the minions to excavate. Rooms can be built onto empty spaces, but blocks can be filled back in as well to wall off an area. Some of the resources like gold and mana are hidden inside stone blocks while some walls cannot be excavated.

The story line evolves around the Absolute Evil, fed up with the heroes of the Overworld constantly abusing his minions for experience points and stealing his gold, heads to the surface. Easily conquering the castle, the Evil is ambushed by the assembled heroes of the land and divided into three parts (the Ultimate Evil, the Chaotic Evil, the Corrupting Evil).

Decades later, one of the Absolute Evil's parts, the Ultimate Evil awakens as a ghostly incorporeal version of himself, and with the aid of loyal minions, starts to rebuild his empire. On the way to punish the individual heroes and gain the alliance of other races, the Ultimate Evil learns of another faction fighting both the heroes and his own empire, the Demons led by the Chaotic Evil. Also appearing and sometimes hindering or helping the Evil are the undead and their enigmatic leader, the Corrupting Evil. The Corrupting Evil is also awakened by absorbing the life of Barthas Snow, and leads an undead army.

Three paid DLCs and a free Halloween-themed DLC were released by Realmforge Studios for Dungeons II soon after the base game's launch. All four DLC titles are puns on the Game of Thrones TV show's name, and the titles of its source books.

Dungeons II: A Chance of Dragons. PC release: August 6, 2015. This paid DLC has three scenario maps, and involves the threat of dragons.

Dungeons 2 received "mixed or average" reviews according to review aggregator website Metacritic.

For the "A Chance of Dragons" DLC, Don van Deventer from MGR Gaming thinks it is a neat, little add on, and full of lore and references from other fantasy creations. Don thought the three new maps were thrilling and exciting; and the new dragon enemies were beautifully made. However, Don wished for the scenarios to have some narration. The review rated it 7 out of 10 points.
