Gameplay
Dungeons 2 is a real-time strategy game in which the player takes on the role of the Dungeon Lord. The player’s goal is to build and manage a dungeon, recruit an army of creatures, and defeat the forces of good.
The player begins the game by choosing one of two factions: the Evil Horde or the Undead Legion. Each faction has its own unique units, buildings, and abilities. The player must then build a dungeon to house their creatures and resources. The dungeon can be customized with a variety of rooms, including barracks, workshops, and training grounds.
Once the player has built a dungeon, they can begin recruiting an army of creatures. Creatures can be recruited from a variety of sources, including the dungeon’s own hatchery, the tavern, and the marketplace. Each creature has its own unique abilities and strengths. The player must carefully choose which creatures to recruit in order to create a well-balanced army.
Once the player has recruited an army, they can begin attacking the forces of good. The player can attack enemy dungeons, human settlements, and even the overworld. The player must use their army to defeat the enemy’s forces and capture their resources.
Dungeons 2 also features a new feature called the “Hand of Terror.” The Hand of Terror allows the player to directly control the Dungeon Lord. The Dungeon Lord can use the Hand of Terror to issue commands to his creatures, cast spells, and even attack the enemy. The Hand of Terror is a powerful tool that can be used to turn the tide of battle.
