The Dungeon Lord has brought the evil factions together and now wants to expand his dark empire. You dig out an underground lair and fill it with rooms, traps and structures, then recruit monsters such as orcs, succubi and zombies. When the army is ready, you lead it up into the overworld to take on the do-gooders, with Thalya, a dark elf priestess, serving as your lieutenant at the front.
The game presents dungeon management and army-led conquest from a villain's point of view, with a humorous tone. Besides the single-player campaign, it offers multiplayer and online co-op, and it supports controllers fully. It suits strategy and simulation fans who enjoy playing the bad guy.
