Oh well, it was a cool idea while it lasted I guess, Dungeon Keeper is finally out on Android. However the awesome game from your childhood this is not. While you can download the game for free you know that can only mean one thing. Dungeon Keeper has sold its soul to the devil and there’s on in-app purchase to get it back.
The only good thing is at least they didn’t make you buy the game and then try to sell you more traps, maps and minions, that would have been massively stupid but then again you know someone, somewhere is cooking up a scheme to do just that.
The graphics do look nice, you can check out the screenshots below, and it’s nice to see they didn’t just port over some weird DOSBox version of the original to Android and call it a day. Also the style of gameplay in Dungeon Keeper where you build up a evil lair to slay would be dungeon raiders does lend itself well to a touch screen interface. If you would rather live it up in the 90’s and want that 100% old school experience you can check out Dungeon Keeper and Dungeon Keeper 2 on GoG.com.
