Creatures require paying regularly, and when 'Payday' comes, will head for the Treasure room to collect their wages. Which creatures enter the dungeon depends on which rooms the player has and how large they are most creatures have prerequisites for entering service. The creatures are varied in their statistics some excel at certain tasks, and others refuse to perform certain tasks. Common behaviours when a creature is angry include vandalising the dungeon and deserting the player. For example, Flies and Spiders are often found at odds with one another. The dungeon has a fleshed-out ecology: certain creatures are natural enemies. The gods may reward or punish the player, or be indifferent depending on the sacrifice. The Temple is a room where creatures are made happy, and the player can sacrifice creatures to the dark gods. Traps are not built instantly Imps need to place them on the blueprint. As with rooms, they can only be built on tiles that belong to the player. Traps include lightning and boulder traps, the latter instantly killing creatures it comes into contact with. The player can build traps and doors, created in the workshop. Unaligned creatures and rooms are multicoloured. Other keepers have different colours, and the heroes are white. The player is red and the tiles are coloured accordingly. Rooms can only be built on tiles belonging to the player. As the game progresses, the player moves along a technology tree, unlocking further rooms and spells. Minions include dragons, warlocks, and the horned reaper, as well as undead creatures such as vampires and skeletons. After connecting the dungeon to a 'Portal', minions will arrive. Once the Imps are working, the player must then set up a basic infrastructure: Lairs for monsters, a Hatchery (where chickens, which serve as food, are grown), and a Treasury. Throughout the game, a "mentor" will advise the player as to various happenings and problems within the dungeon, as a sinister voiceover. To order the imps to dig a tile, the player need flag the tile. Gold is used to build rooms, cast spells, and train creatures. Gold is obtained primarily by digging Gold Seams, and Gem Seams provide an unlimited supply, though take longer to accumulate. Slapping creatures forces them to work faster temporarily, but removes some of their health. Imps are obtained by using the Create Imp spell. Along with the heart, the player begins with a small number of imps, the generic work force for dungeon activities: they dig tunnels into the surrounding soil, capture enemy rooms and Portals, mine gold and gems, and set traps. The Dungeon Heart represents the Keeper's link to the world. Dungeon Keeper 's gameplay exemplifies a dark sense of humour. The hand allows the player to 'slap' creatures and objects, and interact with them. The primary method of control is the hand, used to pick up creatures and objects in the dungeon, carry them around, and drop them. The player constructs and manages a dungeon, recruiting and catering for minions to run it and defend it from enemy invaders. Navigating the built-up dungeon with the Hand of Evil Dungeon Keeper was followed by a sequel, Dungeon Keeper 2, in 1999, and influenced games such as Lego Rock Raiders and Ghost Master. A fan-made mod, KeeperFX, was released, which fixes bugs and adds features. Dungeon Keeper was re-released on GOG.com in 2011, and on Origin in 2016. The game received critical acclaim, with reviewers praising the uniqueness and depth. Versions for the Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStation were in development, but cancelled. Midway through development, lead developer Peter Molyneux decided to leave Bullfrog when the game was complete, which was the motivation for its success. Multiplayer with up to four players is supported using a modem, or over a local network.ĭungeon Keeper took over two years to develop, and an expansion pack, a Direct3D version, and a level editor were released. Dungeon Keeper uses Creative Technology's SoundFont technology to enhance its atmosphere. A character known as the Avatar (resembling the Avatar from Ultima VIII: Pagan) appears as the final hero. The ultimate goal is to conquer the world by destroying the heroic forces and rival dungeon keepers in each realm. In Dungeon Keeper, the player builds and manages a dungeon, protecting it from invading 'hero' characters intent on stealing accumulated treasures, killing monsters and ultimately the player's demise.
