Dungeon keeper 3 war for the overworld hack
Sadly the games cutscenes give a somewhat cheap impression. It’s a nice look, and it’s quite good at hiding the fact that many of the models are not very detailed. This gives it a look that’s a bit akin to Warcraft 3 or World of Warcraft. The game uses bright and bold colours, and the character models, as well as a lot of the objects in the world, has exaggerated traits. The narrators 4th wall breaking narrator might get on some people’s nerves, while other will likely love him Presentationĭungeons 3 has graphics that matches its tone, that’s to stay it’s stylized and a bit cartoonish looking. This is the kind of narrator that some people are likely to find very entertaining, while others just want him to shut up. It also directly influences the world, the narrator can act as a bit like a grumpy GM in a roleplaying game, and summon random monsters when it feels like it. The narrator is the source of most of the games jokes, and there are a remarkable amount of voice lines recorded for him. Through the entire game you have a narrator who comments on what’s going on, and who often breaks the 4th wall (and bickers with Thalya). And the setting is, for the most part, little more than an extension of these referential jokes. Sometimes it falls into a simple “look, we took this name from Warcraft, and changed it a little bit so it sounds like something else!”, and sometimes the jokes build upon a reference, but someone who’s not familiar with at least a few of the big fantasy series, be it books, movies or games, like Warcraft, Lord of the Rings, Conan and so on, will probably find most of the jokes to be little more than gibberish. Most of the humor in Dungeons 3 is referential. You never get to really see the negative consequences of your actions, and that’s fully intentional, this is not a game that tries to explore any deeper meanings of evil, it just lets you cause havoc and destruction in an overly cheerful land, and see people get killed in a very bloodless way.
Sure, you might pillage, murder and/or torture, but it’s all played for laughs. Evil is never portrayed in a very dark or serious way. Cutscenes likes this is played before quite a few levelsĭungeons 3 is, at its heart, a comedy game. Of course, the conniving Evil has no intentions on letting his new servant fall to the forces of good, and so the story begins, with you controlling the forces of evil, lead by Thalya, as they fight against the forces of good, with Tanos and his companions trying to stop you from destroying the land.
Shocked by the sudden turn to evil of Thalya, and her murdering a whole lot of innocent bystanders, Tanos sets out to try and redeem his foster daughter. And he finds just the right person for that, a dark elf named Thalya, who’s been raised by the sickeningly good paladin Tanos. He’ll find someone who can serve him in this far away land. That ends up being a disaster, as evil creatures are better at building traps and torture devices than ships.Īfter a few failed attempts at building a fleet, the manipulative Evil realizes that his evil minions are useless, and decides to go about things another way. So the particularly crafty Evil decides to do the only logical thing, and go across the sea to conquer new lands. Basically, life as an evil lord is no fun when you’ve got nobody left to be evil to. There was no innocent people to oppress, no villages to burn down, and no rare creatures to hunt to extinction. The conquering Evil had defeated all that was good in the land, and was now getting bored. Raiding the graveyards of the good people, just business as usual for an evil lord Story & Setting
