All the various factions have been brought together too, which we think is a big improvement. We’ve also introduced co-op support across all game modes, which everyone here has had a lot of fun with. “There’s double the amount of content compared to Dungeons 2. While Dungeons 3’s direction is close to its predecessor’s, Realmforge has used the sequel to refine and improve as much as possible. Joking aside, I think both parts of Dungeons are very accessible and I have yet to see a player that couldn’t handle it.”

The developers here at Realmforge are too old to keep up with pro games like Starcraft and the difficulty of Dungeons 3 reflects that. Wolfertstetter doesn’t think that makes Dungeons 3 any less accessible, however.
Both sides need equal attention, though they do require different skillsets. Creatures start making more demands as they increase in level, potentially going on strike and refusing to fight. Conquering the overworld generates ‘evilness’, a resource that can be spent on researching new traps and rooms for the dungeon. Though the game’s two halves evoke very different strategy games, they are still inextricably linked. Creatures recruited in the dungeon can be sent to duke it out with the forces of good above ground, where they’re entirely under player control. The overworld portion is where the Warcraft 3 inspiration comes in. “Just like a game designer,” Wolfertstetter jokes.
In the former, minions can be ordered-by literally grabbing them with the ‘Hand of Terror’-to carve out tunnels, build new rooms, and place traps for invading heroes they also go about their own routines, sleeping, drinking beer, and getting paid.
Like Dungeons 2, the latest game is split into two distinct parts: the underworld management game and the overworld RTS. It resonated with players a lot more than its predecessor, sparking another sequel, the recently launched Dungeons 3. Instead of creating dungeons to challenge heroes, players were tasked with conquering the underworld and overworld through a mix of dungeon management and RTS battles. “Instead we focused on a more classical approach.”ĭungeons 2, then, was a totally different experience, drawing more on Dungeon Keeper, but with nods to other classic RTS games like Warcraft 3. “Once we became aware of that demand for a modern game that followed the Dungeon Keeper template, we scrapped the ‘hero entertainment’ aspect for Dungeons 2,” says Wolfertstetter. Instead of driving Realmforge away from the genre, however, this made them determined to give players something closer to what they’d hoped Dungeons would be. Through trailers and previews, Realmforge did try to show how Dungeons was aiming to be something different, but the hunger for a new Dungeon Keeper was too strong, leading to a disappointing ‘mixed’ user review score on Steam. In retrospect, we should have expected those comparisons and expectations.” “But the thing was that Dungeons had a similar look, especially in screenshots, and it turned out that a lot of players at the time had been waiting for a spiritual successor to Dungeon Keeper. “We were really surprised at the time, just because the gameplay was so different between the two titles,” Wolfertstetter recalls.
