A pair of groundbreaking management games developed by Bullfrog Productions and published by Electronic Arts which put the player in the role of a fantasy Evil Overlord responsible for constructing a dungeon, recruiting an army of monsters and seeing off RPG-style hero invasions.Dungeon Keeper (1997) put RTS in a surprisingly small-scale setting — the player runs a dungeon full of monsters, treasure and other goodies, and must defend it from incoming heroic adventurers. It was also one of the first games to include a "first person" mode, in which the Keeper could "possess" one of his creatures.A sequel, Dungeon Keeper 2 was released in 1999 and a third installment, Dungeon Keeper 3: War for the Overworld, was briefly in the works before being cancelled in 2000. The series has quite a few Spiritual Successors in Evil Genius, Overlord, Startopia, Dungeons, and (arguably) Dwarf Fortress and Badman. There is also a board game called Dungeon Lords that is a non-video game Spiritual Successor. A Spiritual Successor by the name of War for the Overworld appeared on Steam Early Access after a successful funding through Kickstarter, and is looking like the closest thing to a third DK installment that will ever see the light of day. Cyanide Studio (famous for the Blood Bowl video games) and Paradox Interactive have released another spiritual successor titled Impire and set in Ardania, the setting of the Majesty series and its spinoffs.There was also an MMORPG released exclusively in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. Western fans of the original games have responded to the news with a quick cycle through elation, confusion, anger, despair, and finally apathy. Very little is known to the Anglosphere about Dungeon Keeper Online up to its closure in December 2013 owing to its No Export for You status and the language barrier beyond some concept art and gameplay footage.In 2014, a mobile reboot of the series, developed by Mythic Entertainment and also published by EA, was released for iOS and Android. It almost immediately became the subject of online rage due to its requirement for extremely frequent in-game purchases to actually do anything, and shut down in August 2022.Both games in the series have been made available for purchase at GOG.com.A Fan Expansion of the first game, titled KeeperFX, is available here. It features better compatibility with modern systems, and additional fanmade campaigns. | |

Abnormal Ammo: Grenade and Missile spells in the first game fired living projectiles that exploded in a shower of blood. The sequel added a 'Dwarf-chucking' mechanic which allows a bile demon or giant to pick up an imp or dwarf and hurl it at foes. | |

All There in the Manual: The Prima guides contain a lot of the establishing fiction and monster characterization. In the first game, hovering the cursor over just about anything brings up a small, scrolling tooltip - which usually gives you a quick button-guide before ending with the manual reference number so you can look it up yourself to find out what it does. | |

Our Orcs Are Different: Only present in the first game. Squat, purple, militaristic, and industrious humanoids. Most of all, utterly forgettable compared to the more 'iconic' monsters. Phased out in favour of the weak-but-plentiful Goblins and powerhouse Black Knights in 2. | |

Being Tortured Makes You Evil: Keep people in the torture chamber long enough and they will work for you. This includes The Avatar in the first game. A great way to build up your army if creature supplies are otherwise limited, or you've exceeded the maximum number of creatures you can bring out of your portals. Plus you get the satisfaction of seeing the heroes get hacked down by the last party they sent down... | |

Enemy Exchange Program | |
| Dungeon Keeper (Video Game) / int_1fba5f9e | comment |
Enemy Exchange Program: Enemies can be converted in the torture chamber, but neither they nor your creatures will enjoy each other's company, and will likely require separate dungeon areas. They each have a set enemy. Whilst they won't enjoy being in the company of most of your units they can tolerate it if you keep them well-fed and amused. However, if you put a guard next to a dark mistress, the lady who tortured him, expect conflict. | |

| Dungeon Keeper (Video Game) / int_259dd888 | comment |
Set Swords to "Stun": How you capture enemy creatures and heroes — in the first one, you have to explicitly tell your minions to stun rather than kill, while in the second it's automatically set this way for you. However, if a unit is knocked out and not promptly rescued, it's worm food. | |

Spiritual Successor | |
| Dungeon Keeper (Video Game) / int_27a42ebc | comment |
Spiritual Successor: Plenty have tried to be so, since DK has a very unique and charming gameplay, and it's fondly remembered by many gamers. Helping this is that DK lacks an official sequel after the first one. Notable examples of DK successors include the following: The Dungeons series by Kalypsonote best known for Tropico 3, only to a certain extent with the first game. Here's the official trailer so you can see the similarities yourself. While thematically similar to Dungeon Keeper, the gameplay itself is more of a cross between the Theme Park series and Tower Defence games. The later games became much more similar to Dungeon Keeper, but differentiated themselves by allowing players to invade the surface world. War for the Overworld, a similarly-styled game by Subterranean Games funded on Kickstarter, is a true Dungeon Keeper sequel in all but name, even using the very same name as the third installment in the series would have had in its own title before it was cancelled. The original Dungeon Keeper developers have even shown their support for the project, and the narrator in the trailer and in-game is the very same person who was your evil mentor in both games. | |

Bag of Spilling: You lose all of your spells, room plans and your entire army between levels - except if you get a special bonus item which allows you to carry over a single creature (in the first game only). If you didn't lose everything though, things would probably be a bit too easy. | |

Tactical Rock–Paper–Scissors: The sequel assigns each creature a type: Flanker (weak individually, best used in groups for a Zerg Rush), Blocker (Mighty Glacier, chooses one spot and stops the enemy getting past it), Support (Glass Cannon, poor in melee but generally has some kind of ranged attack), and Blitzer (Lightning Bruiser, good with melee attacks and generally has a few spells to boot, likes charging enemy lines). Blockers can stop Blitzer charges, Flankers can overwhelm Blockers if given enough support, Supports can whittle Flankers down before they close the gap, and Blitzers will target Supports first. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Dungeon Keeper (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Horned Reapers (In DK1). Incredibly fast, monstrously powerful, and capable of reducing all but the mightiest of heroes to shreds, but he's so damn touchy that he's every bit as likely to turn on you, kill your other minions and start trashing your dungeon if you do anything, anything to annoy him because his anger constantly increases when he's idle unless he's kept busy in the temple or guard posts. This is on top of their wages being far higher than almost every other minion (only exceeded by an allied Avatar, i.e. the final boss). Since you can easily win without him, it's just not worth it, except maybe on the final level. Dark Angels in DK 2. Again, they're fast and powerful, with an arsenal of deadly and destructive spells at their disposal, but they only appear when you build a 5 by 5 temple, which is incredibly expensive, and what's more it only summons two of 'em. You need to build more incredibly expensive temples to get any more. Also, the temple's large water pool has a tendency to trap imps and other creatures which regularly traffic through the area. It seems they are pushed in when there are too many people around. | |

Glass Cannon: Wizards and Warlocks both have potent long-range attacks but very little durability.

Torture Always Works: Torturing heroes is a surefire way to boost your numbers or get accurate information about the map. The only way it can actually fail is if the player forgets to heal the victim while it's going on, since they'll eventually die from the torture otherwise. | |

Endless Game: My Pet Dungeon mode in the second game, which essentially gives you a patch of land to build your dungeon on, a couple of imps, a hero dispenser where you can dole out enemy attacks as you please, and then leaves you to your own devices. Each area has a preset goal which, when met, unlocks a new area to build another dungeon on, but the player can still stay and take care of his old dungeon at his leisure. | |

The game's ending cutscene features the Avatar shackled to a wall for a Horned Reaper to toss knives at while trolls party it up and loot the castle. One of them finds a magic staff and tests it out on the captured foe, turning the Avatar into a comely female troll wearing nothing but lipstick and a pearl necklace. While the former god of all that's good tries to cover her new bust, the trolls laugh and make gestures to indicate that she's in for a rough night. "Baleful" indeed... | |

The Berserker: Horned Reapers in the first game will go into a violent rage if their Hair-Trigger Temper is tripped and can never again be placated. Mistresses in both games. High-level Mistresses are very intelligent about it, instead of engaging in melee combat, they love to "kite" the enemy, attacking from a safe distance with their lightning attack and retreating just a bit when the enemy comes too close, but still facing the foes and dishing out ranged attacks. | |

We Have Reserves: Unlike in Evil Genius (which is Dungeon Keeper meets James Bond), minions are not exactly expendable, because they come in limited numbers.

Hair-Trigger Temper: How can you piss off the Horned Reaper? Let's count the ways... not paying him on time, forcing him to mix with converted heroes, forcing him to mix with any other minions (especially other Reapers), slapping him, picking him up, dropping him, making him go hungry, making him look for food, making him research, making him train, making him work in the workshop, or leaving him with nothing to do. On the other hand, give him an enemy to fight and he'll leap to maximum mood. | |

Stealth-Based Mission | |
| Dungeon Keeper (Video Game) / int_6638c7f7 | comment |
Stealth-Based Mission: Two in the second game. "Creep" requires you to capture rooms in a hero-controlled fortress and hide them from the enemy with hidden doors. Being spotted early on is lethal as the heroes are numerous and high-level. "Interception" has you capturing the three Princes. If any of them spot an enemy they'll run for the nearest portal and alert their brothers to also flee. Preventing this requires careful minion and room management until the portals have been neutralized. | |

Villain Override: You can assume direct control of a minion through magic. This tends to make them much tougher and stronger, due to casting multiple spells and being able to side-step enemy attacks.

Too Kinky to Torture | |
| Dungeon Keeper (Video Game) / int_671a3e1 | comment |
Too Kinky to Torture: The Dark Mistresses like it. A lot. You have to throw them out (or lock them out) if you want to use the torture chamber on your enemies. Even then they'll probably sneak in and use it again when you're not looking, or they'll show up and "help" with the torturing. Interestingly, when you're converting enemy Mistresses in the torture chamber they still don't lose health. The implication is that they join you because you're so nice to them, based on that! They also like it when you slap them with the mouse cursor/hand. Downplayed in a patch for Dungeon Keeper 2, which made them less obsessed with the torture chamber. | |

Last-Second Photo Failure: In the second game, two of the skits you get upon successfully completing a mission involve a cast photo (of the monsters and heroes) going terribly wrong. In "Baked Beans?", the Bile Demon gets a sudden gas attack when the button is pressed, leading to a picture where the entire rest of the cast are passed out or fleeing the expanding gas cloud, while in "Here, Chicky Chicky" the Warlock gets annoyed by the giant bumping into him and turns the entire rest of the cast into chickens just as the picture is taken. | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
| Dungeon Keeper (Video Game) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: The first game has quite a bit of this: Unpatched, the AI as a whole has issues, including every assistant AI (with the potential exception of the "Move-Only" AI, which does a good job of keeping creatures where they are most productive). The first non-tutorial level, Snuggledell, is the peak of this, as a GameFAQs walkthrough and a playthrough video both note that the AI has a particular tendency to not build any sort of army. Indeed, by the time you reach the enemy keeper, they'll most likely only have an imp and a fly. That's right, the enemy keeper expects to win with a level 1 fly and a level 1 imp. The first game's method of trap and door production is horrendous and unpredictable. It basically boils down to throwing your crafting minions into the Workshop and hoping like hell they actually make what you need, since they just make stuff with no rhyme or reason. The sequel massively remedies this by letting you order minions to make things you want, along with other complaints. | |

Leeroy Jenkins: Skeletons in the second game are completely without fear. This means that a level one skeleton won't retreat when faced with say, a gang of level ten Knights. Everything in the first game (except imps, who still will if the first thing they fight is an imp and other creatures join the fight without it noticing) will happily fight against odds where they could not possibly win. At least they retreat when the option (represented by a chicken) is checked. Warlocks and Vampires tend to cast their "wind" spell without any sense when your minions are engaged in tight melee combat, making your concentrated army wind up anywhere, often in a bad tactical spot. Heroic casters have the same problem. | |

Allegedly Free Game: The mobile/tablet reboot game is held up as one of the very worst examples of Allegedly Free on the market — so bad the the UK's Advertising Standards Agency ruled that EA could not legally call it a free game. Minions take up to 24 real-time hours to excavate a single map tile unless spend in-game gems to speed the process; your starting gems are enough for maybe two tiles, and past that, they cost around 1 UK pound per tile's worth. | |

Capturing a Lord of the Land alive and winning the level in the first game makes room for a lot of this. You'll be treated to a bonus scene, displaying quite a number of doors. Behind each and every one, you can listen to the Lord being subjected to inquisition-level tortures. His screams and the various noises made throughout leave painfully little to the imagination. | |

You will have to provide at least decent payment, enough food and lodging, as well at having at least the most basic care about their happiness, else they will leave you forever and you will lose the money invested in their salary and training. Hopefully, most creatures are not too difficult.

| Dungeon Keeper (Video Game) / int_b97a2fa7 | comment |
Forced Transformation: The method of torturing enemy wizards involves the torturer stealing the wizard's staff and rapidly turning them into a frog and back over and over. The game's ending cutscene features the Avatar shackled to a wall for a Horned Reaper to toss knives at while trolls party it up and loot the castle. One of them finds a magic staff and tests it out on the captured foe, turning the Avatar into a comely female troll wearing nothing but lipstick and a pearl necklace. While the former god of all that's good tries to cover her new bust, the trolls laugh and make gestures to indicate that she's in for a rough night. "Baleful" indeed... The Chicken spell, an excellent counter in some versions against enemies with overcrowded lairs, because the chickens can be fatally eaten by their own creatures. | |

Berserk Button: The Horned Reaper in the second game hates chickens... Well, slightly more than they hate everything else, at any rate. Every minion type has a Good or Evil Counterpart that it will not deal with. Beat a Wizard half to death, torture it into joining you, and send it to rain unholy fire on its former friends? Fine. Ask it to bunk in the same room as a Warlock? Expect trouble. Just to pile more onto a Keeper's workload, some monster races of the underworld have another race that they will begin infighting with at every opportunity if forced to interact. Just to name a few examples: Warlocks and Vampires have bad blood, Bile Demons and Skeletons fight, and Spiders will try to eat Flies. | |

Very good researchers, excellent combat units due to spells and good melee, easy to create (you just need corpses and a Graveyard) and will resuscitate one level lower when killed... except when they meet Monks. There's a reason the Graveyard building is so expensive. You just need to train them properly. | |

Mooks | |
| Dungeon Keeper (Video Game) / int_c36cba70 | comment |
Mooks: Deconstructed with most of your minions. They might be mercenary armies of darkness, but each unit has its own strengths, weaknesses, and desires, and managing your hordes is a careful balance between getting the most utility out of them and protecting your investment in them. Imps are pretty expendable, especially in the sequel, since they only cost mana and level up simply from performing their usual tasks like digging, rather than having to take up training room space and money. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Dungeon Keeper (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The second game is riddled with them in the form of bonus voice clips from your Mentor. The Wizard Needs Food. "Big monsters! Big prizes! I love it!" Monks are the only unit able to kill a higher leveled vampire permanently without them resurrecting, and they use whips in the first game. Sound familiar? The most powerful hero in the first game is the Avatar. Vampires are modeled after the good ol'Count from Bram Stoker's Dracula. Lose in the final level of the second game, and the mentor will quote Palpatine’s speech from Return of the Jedi. | |

Bonus Stage: Both the first game and the sequel have about five each, give or take. They usually have non-standard challenge themes, such as only using a horde of Level 10 imps to beat the level, or having to carefully guide boulders to a target using slaps to keep them from rolling into lava. If you beat the Lord of the Lands in DK1 and imprisoned him, keep him around (that is, alive and unconverted to the good cause). When you finish the level, you'll get another kind of bonus stage entirely, Keeper... | |

However, a creature KO'd in the arena will die if not quickly returned to its lair by an Imp, so you're probably forced to care for your creatures by magically healing them or administering triage. | |

Anti-Frustration Features: Gems are sources of money that never expire, the only downside is imps gather wealth from them more slowly.

Mistresses in both games.

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Dungeon Keeper (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: Ooh, I know! Let's capture all of the good guys, starve them to near-death in the prison, make them fight over a couple of chickens, mass-heal them, throw them in the arena to entertain our minions and boost their morale. But before they die, heal them and drag them back to the prison, maybe make them fight over food again, slap them around a bit, then torture them, whilst healing them repeatedly to stop them from dying... in order to ensure that they convert to our side! Genius! Considering how your numbers are limited, it is in fact a very good idea to torture good guys, to both boost your numbers and decrease theirs. However, you will probably have to give them different living quarters, or they might start fighting with your own evil minions. Capturing a Lord of the Land alive and winning the level in the first game makes room for a lot of this. You'll be treated to a bonus scene, displaying quite a number of doors. Behind each and every one, you can listen to the Lord being subjected to inquisition-level tortures. His screams and the various noises made throughout leave painfully little to the imagination. You can be a Bad Boss and make life miserable for your minions, but it's not a smart idea they won't fight for Keeper who mistreats them. | |

Interestingly, and very unusually for this trope, if left to their own devices they'll actually win. Granted it won't resurrect their commander, but they'll get their territory back. Of course, the mission objective is to kill Asmodeous yourself in order to prevent this, with the assumption being that the player has destroyed the remaining Elves in the process. Later, the remainder of Lord Bramble's forces don't give up either, but they're more interested in surviving in what remains of his fortress than actually aggressing against the two Keepers in the area. | |

The Dog Bites Back: Be a Bad Boss to your evil army? Then they'll refuse to work for you and will leave your dungeon or even attack your forces. | |

Video Game Cruelty Punishment: You may be an Evil Overlord, but you need your minions. If you abuse or don't pay them, they will refuse to fight for you. | |

You Require More Vespene Gas | |

You Require More Vespene Gas: You'll be burning through mana like a skinny kid through cake in the second game. Which is nice, because spending gold on spells in the first game was a bit rough on one's bank account. Once you gain access to the money conjuring spell in DK 2, you can have as much gold as you want if you're willing to wait for your mana to recharge. | |

All Trolls Are Different: These ones are mediocre combatants, but fantastic at Item Crafting in the workshop, especially at high levels. | |
